PRESIDENT PUTS HIS DUTY BEFORE POLITICAL PLANS
Asks Postponement of NOtifi- cation Until Congress
 Has Adjourned.

Washington, July 18-President Will son decided yesterday to/ change the tentative plans which had fixed Aug. 5 for receiving the formal notifca- ton of his renomination .and post poned this ceremony until after the 1doujrnment of Congress.
 The decision was announced by Vance Mccormick, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, who issued this statement after a confer ence with the President:
 T found the President embarrassed by the thought that he ought not to turn to politics until the business of this Congressional session was over. Of course, it is possible that the ses- sion may last so long as to make it impracticable to wait until it's close for the notification, particularly as the President feels-it to be of the utmost importance that the Child Labor Bill and the Workmans Compensation Bill be passed at this session, but the President feels it to be his duty to postpone the notification ceremony if possible until the adjurnment of Con- gress. .N,
 To Win Moose Vote.
 MT. Mccormick announced that the notification would be at Shadow Lawn, the Presidents summer home in New Jersey. He said that later this week he would name man to take charge of the headquarters in Chicago, and would complete the organization of a labor bureau.
 The President and MT. Mccormick discussed the entire political situa- tion and the efforts that will be made to secure the votes of former mem bers of the Progressive party. Dur ing che day MT. Mccormick conferred also with, Secretary McAdoo, Post master General Burleson, Senator James, chairman or the Notification Committee; Senator Walsh and sev- eral other Democratic leaders. He left for New York last night, but will return later in the week. He expects to complete the selection of the Dem ocratic campaign committee in a few days and may place some Progressive on 1t.
 Senator Walsh discussed with MT. Mccormick what steps should be taken to retain control of the Senate. | Campaign committees from both the Senate and the House will begin act l i've work in the near future.
 Preparing Acceptance Speech. How much active campaigning will be done by President Wilson will not i be decided until Congress adjourns, and will depend largely on the status of the Mexican situation and other pending public questions.
 "The President feels that he must look after the work of his office first, and think of campaigning afterward," said MT. Mccormick. ''I am hopeful. | however, that later he may find it possible to make some speeches" From now until his notification the | President will put in most of his spare time whipping into shape his speech of acceptance. This speech. it is predicted, will cover fully the achievements of his party during the last four years and foreshadow its policies on pending questions of vital interest to the nation. It is under stooR a portion of the document will not be completed until Charles E. Hughes, the Republican candidate, has given to the country his views on national questions when he is notified of his nomination at Carnegie Hall on July 31.
