 Will Send Message
 ToCongress Today
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

send a message III written form. IL will be read to the house and senate sitting in separate session, as was done with the presidents message last December and as was the custom un- til MT. Wilson began the habit of ad- congress personally.
 The president did not make known his intention to a joint committee of the house and senate which called to- day at the White House to formally notify him that congress was in ses sion, but members of the delegation left him with the impression that he would not appear before congress iE person. The presidents statement to the committee was that he would communicate with congress tomorrow.
 MT. Wilson received his congression- al visitors in the blue room. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the Repub- lican leader in the senate, was the spokesman and he and the president thus met face to face for the first time since the league of nations cove nant and the peace treaty were de- Lodges leadership.
 President Uses Cane
 The president did not shake hands win his visitors. They were ushered into the blue room by White House attendants and then MT. Wilson ap- peared from an adjoining room, lie wore blue sack suit and used a cane. On entering the door he smiled and, pointing to his cane, said:
 You see, gentlemen. cannot yet dispense with my third leg"
 The committee was at the White House only few minutes and the president remained standing at the door of the room during the interview. Some of the visitors said that in walk ing his left leg evidenced his affliction and that he kept his left hand up across his chest.
 Besides MT. Lodge, the White House callers were Senator Under wood of Alabama, the Democratic sen- ate leader, and Representative Mon dell. the Republican house leader, Chairman Fordney of the house ways and means committee and former Speaker Champ Clark. Some of them said the president still gave visible evidence of his long illness but that considering the character and the du- ration of his sickness he appeared in unusually good condition. He was de- scribed as having put on much weight. There was a difference of opinion as to the presidents voice. One of the callers described it as hollow and low" and said that it was with diff culty he heard what the president had to say, while others said that while not as robust as before his illness, MT. Wilson's voice was good and that the executive spoke clearly with only a slight difficulty in enunciation.
 Washington has been alive for tine last two weeks with positive" infor- mation that the president would prob- ably show himself before congress to- morrow, taking the opportunity to appear in public for the first time since he returned "a very sick man from his league of nations speaking i trip in September 1919.
 Presidents Condition In Doubt One set of reports had it that the president would appear in an invalid chair, while another was to the effect that he would walk to the speakers dais as usual and demonstrate the re- peated statement of his friends that his health had been sufficiently re- gained to enable him to get about without an assistant.
 ' Some of the presidents friends were strongly of the view that he would dc well to take the opportunity to make his last annual communication tC congress for a dramatic appearance ir person, revealing his actual physica and mental condition to congress ant tllc COuHLISs alter 14 HlOultlS Ol par tial seclusion during which he has been seen by few.
 President Wilson. it is said. wa' somewhat inclined to take the oppor tunity to appear in preson but othel counsel prevailed. It was urged or the president that no real occasion existed for making a personal journel to the capitol and that he ought no to possibly endanger his progress to ward health by the fatigue and straiI that such record breaking appear ance would entail.
 There is nothing to prevent tn, president from changing his mind be fore noon tomorrow, but the possi
 bilities are he will not go. His mes sage has been completed and is read. for transmission by messenger. Ther
 has been no intimation as to it's con
 tents, but there have been various re
 ports that in 1t the president discuss
 es taxation the agricultural situation and many other subjects.
