AND WILSON WILL GIVE NO
ADVANCE INFORMATION.
NO ONE Is OFFERED PLACE
President-Eiect Says He viii An
nounce Names After His Offers Are
Accepted-WII Not DivuIge What
He has in Mind for Special Session.

Princeton, Jan. 6.-President-elect
Wilson dispensed much negative in

fered a single person a single APP

otherwise.
Second, he will not make any offers
until he decides on the final makeup

Third, he will not announce any
names until he has received all the
acceptances and can make a blanket
announcement.
Fourth, he has not told a single per-
son, in Washington or elsewhere, just
what he has in mind for the special
session of Congress.
This is the status of Woodrow Will
sons mind as to future appointments
and policies and he indicated that his
announcements as to the cabinet
would be made at the last minute.
Sometimes" he said, Il hear some
thing about man whom | may not

prick up my ears and want to hear
more about him. The field of choice
is widening constantly"
The governor has his mind open
and still is consulting people about
men and policies for his administra-
ton. From the men who have come
TO see him thus far he has gotten
much information but has divulged
his own thoughts sparingly He has
given no assurances as to program or
persons.
The president-elect said he would
send a special message to the new
Congress when it convened Indicating
some Of the subjects which he would
like to see that body take up He
said that both his proclamation call
ing the Congress together and the
special message would be brief.
Mr.. Wilson will break his rule about
speaking extemporaneously and read
his inaugural address. The last speech
he read was his speech of acceptance
at Seagirt, after the Baltimore con.
yention. Throughout the campaign and
since then his utterances have been
impromptu.
