 Not Discussion of Sub. iects.

Princeton, N. J., Feb. S.-President elect Wilson this evening finished the first draft of his Inaugural address He is not satisfied with it and will re- write it. The address is about two thousand words in length. The presi- dent-elect wrote it in shorthand ear ly in the week and today transcribed the notes on his old-fashioned Ham, mond typewriter. He was putting the finishing touches on it when the newspaper correspondents walked in- to his study He arose, put the cover on the machine, which looked some what like small oil stove, and said:
 q have just finished typewriting the first draft of my Inaugural ad dress, but it don't suit me at all. shall have to rewrite it.
 The governor said he did not know it's length compared with previous In- augurals. "I haven't looked up any of the Inaugurals, so 1 haven't any idea,' he said.
 The governor was asked what sub jects he discussed in the address.
 'tOh, it's only short piece, not easy of analysis" he said. You might say it is a unit and not discussion of subjects
