President Indie a tes That Such Move Is Not Probable Tax Reform And Farm Re- lief Must Wait.
Indications Are That Re- publicans Will Have Working Majority in Both Upper and Lower Houses.

Washington, Nov. 7.-RepublicaS Senate leaders who conferred today with President Coolidge reached the conclusion that 1t was highly improb able that the president would call the new Congress into an extra ses- sion after next March 4.
 No Extra Session Likely.
 The president turned his attention today to the legislature program and discussed plans for the coming short session of Congress, with Senators Curtis of Kansas, republican whip. and Moses, republican. of New Hampshire. Both were of the opin- ion that tho nation did not want an extra session and only the necessity of emergency legislation would lead the president to call the new Con- gress before its regular meeting time, & year from this December.
 Legislation Can Wait.
 While MT. Coolidge had indicated he would press for tax reduction, many congressional leaders have ex- pressed the opinion that it would be difficult to get through tax legisla- tion in the short session with a Con- gress that has just fought out it's differences on tax reform.
 Senator Moses expressed the belief that farm legislation also could wait until the facts on agricultural con- ditions could be definitely determine ed by the commission proposed by President Coolidge. II is unlikely Senator Moses said, that this inves- tigauon can be completed and re- ports drawn until late next year.
 As final returns from doubtful states and districts trickled in today. 1t appeared that President Coolidge had carried North Dakota, and prob ably New Mexico, and that the political lineup in the new congress- would be as follows:
 Senate: Republicans, 54; demo- crats, 4O; farmer-labor i; vacancy, 1 (Conn.) '''
 House; Republicans, 246; Demo- crats, 1S4; farmer-labor, 8; social- ists, 2.
 At adjournment of congress in June, there were ln the senate 51 republicans, 43 democrats and far mer-labor and in the house, 225 re- publicans, POT democrats. 1 social st. l farmer-labor and 1 indepen- dent.
 In several senatorial contests, mo- tably the one in Iowa. and in half dozen congressional districts the races were so close that accounts might alter the results.
 Regardless of the outcome, how ever, the republican organization in both the house and senate seemed assured of g. working majority. with the La Toilette insurgents unable to get anywhere by forming a coali- tion with the democrats.
