Wilson wishes to follow il. Pres't
Hayes took il on March 8, Satur-
day. Immediately after the announce
ment Of the conclusion of the me-

was no announcement OF Pres't Will

ers at the capitol. il seemed to be
understood that unless Mr.. Wilson
changed his mind there would be
no special session of the senate.
Just what the president would do
about taking the oath was unknown
I TO White house officials.
Quite contrary TO what has be-
come a general opinion, no special
session of the senate is required by
the constitution for confirmation OF
cabinet appointments and in fact no
confirmation Of the cabinet is nee

appears now 10 be the plan.
If any new members should be
/ present they would be given recess
appointments and be presented for
confirmation later.

Where no farewell tears are shed.
