Washington, Nov. 22.-Represen- tauve Longworth of Ohio, the re- publican floor leader. came out to- day In favor of restricting the con- sideration heretofore given the in- surgent republicans in the house.
 Those insurgents who failed to support President Coolidge, Mir. IIongworth said. had no call for un- due consideration in the organiza- ton of the next house.
 Has Conference With Coolidge
 Mir. Longworth, who called upon President Coolidge, contended that inasmuch as the republicans will be held responsible for legislation, the party should take such steps in the organization of the next house as shall prevent hindrance from the in- surgent group. He did not outline any specific plan for talking care of the La Toilette supporters in the way of committee assignments.
 Longworth predicted that all necessary legislation could be accom- plished at this session without thd necessity of an extra session after March 4, but he has not outlined any definite legislative program.
 While opposing the publication of income tax returns, which he said was not the inent of the law, he said he doubted the wisdom of reopen ing this question at this session with the same membership that enacted the new law.
 Silent on Speakcrship.
 Although he said he had been ap- preached by his state delegation and by members of majority of the other delegations asking that he be a candidate for speaker in the next congress, to succeed Speaker Gillett Longworth has not formally an. nounced his candidacy.
