Not Likely That Wilson
Wishes, as to Inaugural Ball,
Will Be Opposed.
DECISION IS POSTPONED
President-Elect Opposes His
torical Function Because
of Expense.

Trenton, ~. j., January H-Presi'
dent-elect Wilson declined to say to-day
what ceremony he would favor as q
substitute for the inaugural pail II
had been suggested to the President
elect that a popular reception at the
Capitol might be arranged.
lie said he would not comment fur-
Their on the subject until he learned
what William Corcoran Eustis, chair
man of the Inauguration committee,
thought of the Governors suggestion
to eliminate the ball from the festivities.
The proposal to abolish the bail was
contained in a letter of the President
elect sent to Mr.. Eustis yesterday.
Governor Wilson's decision in the
matter of the ball was reached after he
had been talking with Mrs. Wilson,
who, il is known, Is very much opposed
to display Of all kinds. 1t has been the
belief of friends of the Wilson family
that she would express opposition to TINS
historic function, although the Presi-
dent-elect himself has expressed opposi-
ton to it on account OF the expense
Inquired as to Cost.
The President-eiect made careful IN
curry concerning the inaugural pail
and was told that it cost the govern
ment approximately SIS. 900. rms IS
due to the enforced idleness OF clerks
in the pension building. which mas 10

incidentals which cannot be avoided.
There is much speculation now as 70
what other. if any. Recommendations
Governor Wilson will make for cur
tailment of the inaugural formailties-
When he passed through Washington
recently he asked Mr.. Eustls to nave
the ceremonies simple as possible. HIS
request for omission of the ball is ms
first utterance on the subject since IL
