TALkED With UNDERWOOD

With Clark and Bryan Matters
of Policy.

TRENTON, n j.. Dec. 3l.-Presi-
dent-elect Wilson finished his po-
litical activities for the year 1912 by
completing today the series Of con-
ferences he planned soon after cleo
ton with leaders Of tho democratic
party.
The president-elect had long talk
with Oscar w. Underwood, democratic
leader of the house of representatives,
but nothing definite came from either
man after the conference to Indicate
what particular topic was discussed.
Governor Wilson said he merely
had asked and obtained from Mr..
Underwood what he sought from VIII
liam j. Bryan and Speaker Champ
Clark, with whom he previously had
conferred-his views and opinions
about the personnel of the admlnistra-
tlon Of the executive policies. No
conclusion or declarations OF these
were made, according to the president
elect.
"Mr. Underwood and l." said Gov
ernor Wilson. went through the pro-
cess OF consultation that ] adopted
with the other men who have been TO
see me. l asked his advice as to men
and measures. We spent most of the
time outlining and discussing the pros
and cons Of the program for the extra
| session. We didn't come to any con-
clusionS; we just canvassed matters"
Here Mr. Wilson was asked If a
date was decided upon for the extra
session.
1--WE took that up only casually"
was the reply. "Mr. Underwood
thought, as we all think, that the
| earlier it Is called the better"
The governor declared however,
that while he soon might decide on
just what date the extra session con-
vened, he would not make the an
nouncement until after he had been
inaugurated.
Mr.. Wilson added that In his con-
ference he had talked over the ad-
Visibility Of large program for the
extra session and that Mr.. Underwood
had expressed his Ideas on the sub
ject.
'As usual. no conclusions were
reached" said the governor. with
smile. in intimating that there was
no particular necessity for an early
decision Of this question.
When Mr.. Underwood left the gov
ernor's office, he declined to mention
specific things he had talked about.
"Pd prefer TO leave that to the
governor" he said. II had very
one. 1t was largely about what will
come up at the extra session and not
so much about the cabinet"
Mr.. Underwood was asked whether
there would be any factional troub-
les in the house, and whether, in
view Of Mr. Bryans opposition to him
early last year. any dissension was
expected
There wont be any trouble" he
said. you remember the wooden
schedule when there was only one
vote against newell, that perhaps
might represent what factlonal diff
ferences there are The friends Of
Mr.. Bryan, / should say. are very
likely to be the friends OF President
Wilson"
Mr.. Underwood said he expected the
tariff to be thoroughly considered
from top to bottom"
Every schedule will be taken up
separately" he added. Then we
can put in an enacting clause at the
top of each schedule and put that
through separately. or we can put the
whole thing through in the form of
one bill. That will be a matter Of
choice however"
1t was the first time Mr.. Under
wood had conferred with Governor
Wilson since July, shortly after the
Baltimore convention. Since that
! time however, there has been fire.
quental correspondence between them.
The president elect soon will begin
more conferences with senate leaders.
Sena tors Hoke Smith OF Georgia:
O'Gorman of New York; Gore Of Ok
lahoma probably will be among his
visitors next week.
