BRYAN AND WILSON i TALK OVER CABINET j DISCUSS PERSONNEL AND POLICIES OF ADMINISTRATION. I Conference Falls to Add to Sum of Public Knowledge About Probable Selections. Princeton, N. J., Dec. 21.?After a day of lengthy conferences in Trenton the most important of which was i with W. J. Bryan, President-elect | Wbodrow Wilson returnfd tonight to I his home here, tired and ready for ! rest. So far as light on the gossip ' as to Mr. Bryan's future relations | with the administration, the conferi ence between the two today was productive of nothing more than s'pecu | lation. Mr. Wilson said very franki ly that while he had talked about men j for his cabinet with Mr. Bryan the name of the Nebraskan was not mentioned. As to further conferences with Mr. Bryan, none was talked of or arI ranged, Mr. Wilson said. Best to "Lay Low." Discussing tonight the subject of patronage, the president-elect made ; it evident that those who expect to | get political appointment from him | had better not try to manifest their j ambition in person or apply directly l to him in any way. j "I have a sort of general principle,"' he said, "that those who apply for ,?-;n hp the least likelv to get vrxu\^^o ?? * * x ^ ? ? ^ _ them." "Then a great number has been disqualified already," he was1 asked. "Yes," was the smiling reply. The question reminded the president-elect of a letter he had received from an office-seeker. "One man wrote me," related Mr. "Wilson, "saying he was thinking of applying and would like to know from me personally what was the best way j ; ; j. y LJJft .1 dtiln*rt<'iK1i a i.".:, i ? flfr'-~jc?SrSli A A Mei Chrisi To all of my and all the othe whom I wish wer?

He I added that he, of course, expected to take advice about patronage and would be. guided in a great many appointments by the recommendations of me-mbers of congress. . I The summoning of Mr. ?*ryan to j discuss legislative policies and the personnel (of the cabinet was, the* president-elect indicated, one of a series of steps' which he is taking to determine upon the fitness of individuals for the cabinet. 1 Mr. Wilson intends, moreover, to carry out literaliy his plan of being t the "best listener in the United States" i and expects to continue to "take comI mon counsel" for some time, perhaps j as late as March 1, before making final ! decision of announcements. - I i J In view of Mr. Bryan's connection ! j with the drafting of the Democratic I ! platform today's conference concern- j j ed largely plans for carrying out platj form pledges. The governor was asked if Mr. Bryan seemed to be in favor of any preI cedence in the order of legislation. Weut Over Platform. "We went over the platform in a ? general way," replied the governor, I "with no special emphasis 011 one plank more than another." Mr. Wilson was told tonight that Mr. Bryan had said just before h<s departure that he planned to attend I the inauguration, "if the weather la fine." > ' "I hope he'll attend the inauguration, and I hope the weather will be fine, too," said Mr. Wilson apprj>vingily' i Judge Robert S.
