an early conclusion by the heavy going
The Governor wore a sweater and NJ
overcoat. and swung along at a brisk
pace for about three miles. Five is hi:
ordinary distance. The walk showed
that he Is himself again, and that hs
has recovered completely from his ILL
ness.
The Governor received only the one
package by parcel post, the box OF New

The Governor was asked II, in view of
the convenience IL would mean to MEM
bers of Congress. he would announce the
date for the extra session before March 4.
