U-BOAT PROBLEM
TO BE TAKEN UP

CONTINUED From First Page1
Democrats 212 with six members of
other parties.
The President was understood to be
much concerned over the makeup of
the next House chiefly because of its
effect on the selection of the speaker
and chairmanships of committees
which he is anxious to have in the
hands of Democrats. AS far as legis-
lation is concerned it was said to-day
Mr.. Wilson is confident that most
measures to be proposed by him would
gain the support of enough Republi-
cans TO carry them through.
Mr.. Wilson continued to refuse to
make any comment on the election
pending the receipt of formal word
from Mr.. Hughes and the Republican
National Committee conceding his re-
election.
Henry Morgenthau, chairman of the
Finance Committee of the Demo
cratic National Committee called on
the President to-day.
After brief stay in Washington
the President may go away for a rest
before Congress convenes. Hot
Springs, Va, was mentioned as the
place he might visit. He will make
no definite plans, however, until he
has got in thorough touch with OFF,
cial business here and learned whether
the submarine or Mexican situations
require his presence.
Secretary Lansing planned to con-
fer with President Wilson late to-day
on recent submarine attacks on ves-
sells carrying Americans and on the
Mexican situation.
While officials admit that the sub
marine situation is filled with grave
possibilities, no action will be taken
until further reports have been re-
ce1ved 1t was said to-day that no
evidence so far has been received by
the State Department proving that
Germany's pledges have been violated.
In case there are any changes in
President Wilson's cabinet it was un-
derstood to-day that among those who
would be seriously considered are
Harry a. Garfield, president of Will
liams College, and son OF former
President James A. Garfield; Samuel
/. Seabury, the defeated Democratic
candidate for Governor of New York
and Vance C. Mccormick, chairman
II the Democratic National Commit
tee.
Wants Cabinet to Stick
There have been many reports cir
culated regarding changes in the Cabi-
net, but officials in close touch with
the President declared to-day that it
is almost certain that he will urge all
the present members of the Cabinet to
remain at their posts, and changes are
not expected unless members them
selves desire to quit the official family
1t is considered possible, however,
that one or more members of the Cabi-
net may resign for personal reasons.
Secretary McAdoo has been frequently
mentioned as one member likely to re-
sign and Representative Carter Glass,
of Virginia, chairman of the House
banking and currency committee, has
been suggested for his post. 1t was
stated definitely to-day that Mr.
McAdoo can remain in the President S
Cabinet as long as he desires.
In case there is a vacancy in the
Supreme Court, Attorney General Gre
CORY, Secretary Lane or Senator Walsh,
of Montana, would be considered first
for the appointment
Secretary Redfeld. Secretary Baker
and Secretary Daniels have also been
mentioned as members of the Cabinet
who might desire to quit public life,
hut It was stated definitely to-day that
mono of them had signified any such
intention.
Short Sessions to Pass Laws
Secretary Humility is also expected
TO remain in his present post, although
he could be appointed as a member
of the board of general appraisers in
New York if he desired. Reports have
connected Mr.. Tumulty's name with
a Cabinet position, but it was stated
