STORY OF MEETING TOLD IN PAPER Alleged-Scheme on Foot to Prevent Indorsement of Bryan in Ken tucky. HEARS7 WOULD ACCEP1 NOMINA 110N f OR OFFICE Mexico City, Pec. 1.—William R, Hearst was Interviewed by^a mem ber of the staff of The Mexican Herald last night regarding his alleged statement that he would not be a candidate for public office again. Mr. Hearst said he had mo 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 woul(| never accept an other nomination, by saying that if circumstances made It Imperative he would once more be a candidate for office. He did not designate the office. * New Haven, Conn., Dec. 1.—There tras published last night in The Union, he paper of which Alexander Troup Is editor and proprietor, an article pur l»orting to-give the details of A secret meeting recently In New York city of a number of leading Democrats of the countiy 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 a western trip during which he spent a week at the home of Mr. Bryan In Dln- oln, Nehr., as Mr. Bryan's guest. Those at ths Meeting. The article reads: "John P. Hopkins, former mayor of Chicago; Roger C. Sullivan, Demo cratic national committeeman from Illinois; J. H. Kckles, the banker and former comptroller of the currency un it*r Grover Cleveland; Charles 8. Ham lin, assistant secretary of tho treasury under John G. Carlisle; ex-Henator .lames Smith, of New Jersey; H. C. Crick, of Pittsburg, and ex-Congress- inan Joseph J. Willett, of Alabama, have been in New York holding confer ences with the Parker-Belmont-Shee- hun people, at the Metropolitan club, better known ns the "Millionaires’ Club," with the view of having the next national Democratic convention nominate for the presidency Woodrow Wilson, of Princeton university. What Hopins Says. '"Bryart and Hearst are both out of the game,’ said ex-Mayor Hopkins. 'Mr. Wilson will be the Democratic nominee. The conservative forces of the Democratic party will set to work immediately to bring about his nomi nation. - The South will not touoh Bryan on account of his views regard ing government ownership of railroads. Wilson la strong In the South, and with . New York and New England working together he can lie nominated Just as Judge Parker was In spite of Mr. Bry an and his friends. New Jersey came near returning to the Democratic fold and It would he particularly appropri ate to take the Democratic candidate 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 be the first to meet next year,, from Indorsing Mr. Bryan. Aftor Mr. Bryan 1* not Indorsed, National Committee man Sullivan, of Illinois, and the Par- ker-Belmont-Sheehun coterie will an nounce that this Is a repudiation by the South of Bryan. The men who arc barking Professor Wilson seem to think thnt Senator Blackburn's politi cal enemies are against Bryan. It is well known that ever slnco tho na tional campaign of 1904 Mr. Belmont has 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." ATTEND CONFERENCE HELD AT WASHINGTON NEWS FORECAST OF COMING WEEK Washington. Dec. 1.—The large number and great Importance of the matters sluted for consideration and action will combine to attract far more than the ordinary amount of attention to the lost session of the fifty-ninth congress, which convenes.next Monday. It has been the usual custom In thb past for the short session to confine Its attention to the money budgets and to those matters left unfinished by the long ses sion. Hut It Is believed that a precedent in the opposite direction will be established by the coming session. There appears to be 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 the legislators will be more Industrious during the ensuing three months than they have ever been before, excepting In war time. Monday und Tuesday will be taken up with the president’s mes sage and the transaction of the usual preliminary business. By Wednes day nt the latest the law-makers will have their coats off and be 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 will not be longer than a few days, however, as It is evidently the desire of both the prosecution und the defense to have the famous case out of the 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 the American Public Health Association will be held In the City of Mexico, beginning Its sessions Monday, and will be attended by eminent medical men and health officials 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 assemble in Des Moines next Wednesday. Delegates will be In attendance from nearly all the states of tho Union. Another gathering of wide Interest will be the National Drainage conference, to be held in Oklahoma City the latter part of the week. This conference hus been organised by the governor of Oklahoma and the purpose Is to take up the subject of drainage, looking to better roads, Im proved reclamation services, etc. The National Rivers and Harbors Congress, organised here last Jan uary, will* ojien Its second convention next Thursday. Tho chief purpose • Is to demonstrate to congress that a sentiment has arisen In favor of In creased regular river and harbor appropriations. NA TION’S LA WMAKERS READY FOR SESSION TO BEGIN MON DA Y Members of Congress Are Flocking to Washington. Special to The Georgian. Macon, Go., Dec. 1.—President J. P. Hanson, of the Central of Georgia rail- road, and Vice President 8. K. Par rott, of the Georgia feoulhern und ITorldo, left yesterday afternoon at i: 50 o'clock over the Central for Wash ington to attend a conference of offl- i Inis of the various roads concem- ,ng the death of President Samuel S i - netr, of the Southern railway. Mr. Spencer woe a close personal friend of twill Major Hanaon and Mr. Parrott and they feel 111* death keenly. • Washington. Dec. 1.—Tho period of dullncea has ended nnd official Wash ington once more la awake and pre pared for 'The leason." Outward and visible algna are abundant that the Opening of congress Is at hand. The railway stations nro thronged, streets aro crowded, hotel proprietors ami boarding house mistresses of the "hash lielt" lire beaming. The nation's lawmakers are back In town once more, sume of them elated over their victory In the recent election, others cast down by defeat. At noon Monday the lawmakers will line up for tho last session of the llfty-nlnth congress. The life of the congress Is limited tu but three months more at the most. As there Is much Im portant business to be disposed of tho session undoubtedly will he tt busy one. Problems Await Solution, There ure many great problems awaiting solution at tho bands of the national legislators, but notwithstand ing this fact the brief spneg. covered by the coming session, which will ex pire by limitation Mnrch 4. precludes the probability of much being accom plished beyond the pussage of the regu lar money budgets, and the disposal of unfinished business Glut came over from the recent long session. Three months Is hardly time enough ... which to pass the appropriation bills, let alone disposal of legislation of gen eral Importance. The tariff will ho let alone for the time being, ami In all probability the president's program for rounding out his nMI-corporatlon leg islation also will be withheld until the sixtieth rungress. The Santo Domingo treaty, the Isle of Pines treaty and the Morocco treaty "await the attention of the senate. Immigration restriction. It’s Very Much The Same With a Woman as With a Man.

Intense Interest Is manifested In the piesldent'M message on account of the great Importance of tho many ques tions It will have to deal with. While, of course, tho usuul secrecy has been maintained with regard to tho message and the customary precautions tuken to prevent Its publication before the opening of congress, the president lias shown the message to so many of the Republican leaders und consulted wPh them In regard to It that the pripclpul points of the document have been pretty generally known. It is believed the most Important recommendations and subjects the president has made and discussed In Ills message are the following: A system of progressive taxation on great fortunes,, so us to prohibit the concentration of enormous wealth In a few hnnd.s. Soms Recommendations. National assistance to labor through laws making eight hours a legal day for all government work save on the Panama canal; also limiting the hours of lubor of railroad employees; author ising thorough Investigation of child und woman labor problems. Discussion of the negro problem and emphasizing the necessity of both races observing tolerance In their relations. Explanation of tho cattsei which compelled American intervention In Cuba and nn announcement of the unselfish policy the United States will pursue with regard to Cuba. National regulation and supervision of corporations engaged In Interstate commerce, either by act of congress or through a constitutional amendment. Increase of Navy.
