Washington, Nov. 13.-President Wilson was back at his desk in the White House today after an absence of two months, prepared to take up important foreign problems which ] have been held in abeyance pending the election, as we'll as domestic ques- tions. These included the German submarine situation, the Mexican problem and a number of federal ap- pointm ents
 The president has not even consid- cred the question of changes in his cabinet, according to administration l officials, who characterize as prema- | ture reports that he has decided on 1 such changes. It is possible, however, that one or two cabinet officers may 1 not remain after March 4. Although President Wilson was 1 tired out when he returned last night he was up early today and had break 1 fast before o'clock. Immediately afterwards, he began reading a huge stack of mail accumulated during his 1 trip to Williamstown, Mass. Worried By Congress. The president asked first for the l latest information of the political 1 makeup of the house of representa- 1 tives in the sixty fifth congress. He was told indications from present re- 1 lations were that the republicans would have 217 members and the 1 democrats PIP, with six members of | other parties.
 The president was understood to be l much concerned over makeup of the 1 next house, chiefly because of it's ef- 1 feet on the selection of the speaker i and chairmanships of committees, which he is anxious to see in the ! hands of democrats.
 As far as legislation is concerned, , it was said today, MT. Wilson is con- 1 fdent that most measures to be pro- i posed by him would gain the support of enough republicans to carry them | through.
 ] No Comment On Election. MT. Wilson continues to refuse to ! make anv comment on the election pending the receipt of formal word from MT. Hughes and republican na- ] tiOnal committee in cOnced1ng ms re- l election.
 Henry Morgenthau, chairman of the finance committee of the democratic national committee, called on Presl- dent Wilson today.
 After a brief stay in Washington the president may go away for rest 1 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 wheth- CT the submarine or Mexican situa- tions require his presence.
 To Discuss U-Boat Attacks.
 Secretary Lansing planned to con- fer with President Wilson today on l recent submarine attacks on vessels carrying Americans and on the Mex | ican situation.

 Harry A. Garfield, president of Will Hams college and a son of former | president James A. Garfield, Samuel l.. Seabury, the defeated democratic candidate for governor of New York, and Vance c. Mccormick of the dem- ocratic national committee.
 There have been many reports in circulation regarding changes in the cabinet, but officials in close touch with the president declared today that it is almost certain that he will urge all the present members of the cabinet to remain at their posts and 1 changes are not expected unless members themselves desire to quit the official family
