By Associated I .es.


 WASHINGTON, Nov. 13-Presi- dent Wilson, back in the White House for the first time in two months, to- day, plunged into work. Taking it for granted he has been reelected, he asked no questions about electoral votes, but displayed anxiety over the political complexion of the next house of representatives. He got in touch with pressing foreign problems, in cluding submarine, Mexican and Brit ish blockade issues.
 State department officials make no secret of their belief that dangerous possibilities presented by the recent development of both Mexican and submarine issues are expected soon at the Mexican conference in Atlantic City. It is stated definitely by officials in the presidents conf dcnce that his reelection will mean no radical change in policies, although as soon as the war is over, Wilson will recommend q revision of the tar if Ii he feels justified by facts to be gathered by the tariff commission. It is reported the president contemplates no change in his cabinet but it is said those expected to resign at once are General Gregory and Secretaries Redheld, Baker, Daniels and McAdoo.
