PLANS FOR EXTRA SESSION,
WILSON Is NOT INTERFERING IN
SENATORIAL FIGHT.
President-clect Says Progressive
Democrats are Making 1t IA Point
Not to Involve Him i'm Contest Over
Reorganization of Committees.

Trenton, Jan. S.-President- elect
Wilson sat for three hours in his Of
flee here today in conference with
Senators Hoke Smith of Georgia and
Thomas p. Gore of Oklahoma. Gov.
Wilson declared tonight that, besides
talkinO over a number Of cabinet pos
sibilities, he had discussed with the
senator's a programme for the extra
sessions including tariff and currency
legislation.
Both senators departed with their
lips sealed. From the governor alone,
they said, could information be OBJ
tanned. The president-elect spoke of
his conference only in general terms,
stating that no conclusions had been
reached.
I'VE discussed, as do all my visit
ors," he said, "all the names for the
cabinet l could think of just to get
their opinions" The president-elect
was questioned as to details of his
conference but said merely that he
had discussed the whole ground Of an
extra session programme.
Reiterating that he had arrived at
no specific conclusions, he added:
II am sincerely seeking to get the
point of view of these men. l am not
asking for conclusions but merely
want to talk things over with them. 1"
The president-elect was asked, in
view Of the prominence Of both visit
ors in the proposed plans for reorgan-
ization Of the senate committees and
the abolition Of the seniority rule,
whether that subject was discussed.
II don't bring that up unless my
callers do" he said. Senator Smith
simply said he thought they were in
the way of a satisfactory solution in
the senate of the difficulty. They
make a point of not involving me in
the matter"
Gov Wilson indicated also during
the day that he preferred not to inter-
pose his influence in the reorganiza-
ton of the senate committees any
more than he cared to in connection
with ihc talked-of abolition Of the
seniority rule in the house commit
tees.
Tomorrow Senators O'Gorman of
New York and Culberson Of Texas will
confer with Mr.. Wilson.
