STORY OF MEETING TOLD IN PAPER Alleged Scheme on Foot to Prevent Indorsement of Bryan in Ken tucky. New Haven, Conn., Dec. 1.—There Waa published tant. night in The Union, the paper of which Alexander Troup la editor and proprietor, an article pur porting to give the details of a secret meeting recently in New York city of a number of leading Democrats of the country called together for the pur pose of sidetracking any plans William J. Bryan and William R. Hearst may have for the presidency In 1908 and the putting In nomination for presi dent Woodrow Wilson, of Princeton. Mr. Troup has just returned from u western trip during which ho spent a week nt the home of Mr. Bryan In Lin coin, Nebr., as Mr. Bryan's guest. Those at the Meeting. The article reads: "John I*. Hopkins, former mayor of Chicago; Roger C. Sullivan, Demo cratic nutlonal committeeman from Illinois; J. H. Kckles, tho banker and former comptroller of tho currency un der Grover Cleveland; Charles S. Ham lin. assistant secretary' of the treasury under John G. Carlisle; ex-Henator .lames Smith, of New Jersey; H. C. Frick, of PJttsburg, and ex-Congress- mun Joseph J. Willett, of Alabama, have been lit New York holding confer ences with the Parker-Behnont-Hhee- han people, ut the Metropolitan club, better known as the "Millionaires’ Club,” with the view of having the next national Democratic convention nominate for tho presidency Woodrow Wilson, of Princeton university. What Hopins Says. " 'Bry an and Hearst are both out of the game,' said ex-Mayor Hopkins. 'Mr. Wilson will bo the Democratic nominee. Tho conservutlvo forces of the Democratic party' Will set to work Immediately to bring about his nomi nation. The Kouth Will not trtucU Bryan «n account of his views regard ing government ownership of railroads. Wilson hr strong In the South, and with New, .Xonk and New Hagland working together tie elm be nominated Just as Judge Parker was In spite of Mr. Bry an and his friends. New Jerkey came near returning to the Demooratic fold and It. would lie particularly appropi ate to take the Democratic ratididn from that state. Wilson and Folk would make a strong ticket.’ To Prevent Indorsement. "The first effort to be made, accord ing to this scheme. Is to prevent the Kentucky state convention, which will lie the nrst to meet next year,, from Indorsing Mr. Bryan. After Mr. Bryan Is not Indorsed, National Committee man Sullivan, of Illinois, and the Par ker-Belmont-Sheehan coterie will an nounce that this Is a repudiation by thd South of Bryan. The men who are hffbklng Professor Wilson seem to think that Senator Blackburn’s politi cal enemies are against Bryan. It is well known that ever since the na tional • campaign of 1904 Mr. Belmont luuf maintained a regular Inside confi dential organisation. A majority of the bureau employed by the national committee during the campaign of 1904 have been and now are on the pay roll of corporations controlled by Mr. Belmont.” HEARSI WOULD ACGEP1 NOMINATION FOR OFFICE Mexico City," Dec. I.—'William R. Hearst wa* Interviewed by a mem ber of the staff of The Mexican Herald last night regarding his alleged statement that he ivould not be a candidate for public office again. Mr. Hearst said he had no desire to run for office again, and would not seek or accept a congressional nomination. He modified the^utterance recently attributed to him, to the effect that he would never accept an other nomination, by saying that If circumstances made It Imperative ho would once more be a candidate for office. He did not designate the office. NEWS FORECAST OF COMING WEEK Washington. Dec. 1.—The large number and great importance of t he matters slated for consideration and action will combine to attract far more than the ordinary amount of attention to the last session of the fifty-ninth cpngress, which convenes next Monday. It has been the usual custom In the past for tho short session to confine Its attention to the money budgets and to those matters left unfinished*by the long ses sion. But It la believed that a precedent In the opposite direction will he established by the coming session. There appears to bfj a disposition among the members of both branches to dispose of some of the great pro-national problems demanding action. Spurred on by the president, It Is probable that tho legislators will be more Industrious during tho ensuing three months than they have over been before, excepting In war time. Monday and Tuesday will be taken up with the president's mes sage and tho transaction of the usual preliminary business. By Wednes day at the latest the law-makers will have their coats off and bo ready for the serious work before them. it looks now as If the Thaw trial In New’ York, tentatively set to begin next Monday, will be deferred until a later date. The delay w’lll not be longer than a few days, however, ns'lt Is evidently the desire of both tho prosecution and the defense to have the famous case out of tho way If possible by the first of the year. A number of Important cases are on the docket of the United States supreme court, which will reassemble Monday, after the Thanksgiving recess. The meeting of tho American Public Health Association will he held In the (Mty of Mexico, beginning Its sessions Monday, and will bo attended by eminent medical men and health ottlclals of the United States, Canada and Mexico. An Interstate convention for the discussion of the question of the pop ular election of United States senators will assemblo In Des Moines next Wednesday. Delegates will be In attendance from nearly all tho states of tho Union. Another gathering of wide Interest will ho tho National Drainage conference, to bo held In Oklahoma City tho latter part of the week. This conference has been organized by the governor of Oklahoma and the purpose Is to take up tho subject of drainage, looking to better roads, Im proved reclamation services, etc. 0 The National Rivers and Harbors Congress, organized here last Jan uary. w ill open its second convention next Thursday. The chief purpose Is to demonstrate to congress that a sentiment has arisen In favor of in creased regular river and hurbor appropriations. NA TION’S LA WMAKERS READY FOR SESSION TO BEGIN MON DA Y ATTEND CONFERENCE HELD AT WASHINGTON ISpecffll to The tleorglnn. Mucon, Ga- Dec. 1.—President J. F. Hanson, of tho Central of Georgia rail road, and Vice President S. F.

Three months Is hardly time enough ... which to pass the appropriation Dills, let alone dlsposnl of legislation of gen eral Importance. The tariff will be let alone for the time being, and In all probability the president’s program for rounding out his anti-corporation leg islation also will be withheld until the sixtieth congress.

Beyond 'he usual formalities attending the opening little will be accomplished on Monday, but by Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest the house will plunge Into Its work. Interest in the Message. Intense Interest Is manifested In the president’s message on account of the great importance of tho many ques tions It will have to deal with. While, of course, the usual secrecy has been maintained with regard to the message ami tho jaistomary precautions taken to prevent Its publication before the opening of congress, the president has shown tho message to so many of the Republican leaders and consulted \\l»h them In regard to It that the principal points of the document liuve been pretty generally known. \ It Is believed the most Important recommendations and subjects the president has made und discussed in his message nre the following: A system of progressive taxation on great fortunes, so as to prohibit the concentration of om.rmous weulth In u few hands.
