day between President Wilson, Vance
c.. Mccormick chairman of the demo.
cratic national committee and Homer
s. Cummings, the committees vice
chairman. The two democratic lead.
ers took lunch with the president and
remained with him four hours, going
over minutely the campaign plans.
While no date was set for the nOtifica-

said tonight that il congress remained
in session after September 1st notiti-
cation might take place before adjourn

said, probably cannot take part in the
