President elect Wilson and the Democratic mem bers of the New Jersey Legislature held a two-hour conference this after noon behind closed .loors on a pro gramme to be followed in the present session with respect to measures to which the Democrats are pledged In the platform adopted In the Demo cratic state convention last October. Only four subjects were discussed and not all of these were settled finally. A further conference Is to be held a week from today, when attention will be giv en to the matters not finally disposed of today. Aill-Trol Bill Considered. The conference discussed briefly Governor Wilson's seven anti-trust bills, further consideration of which was deferred until the meeting next WItkwas decided that a constitutional convention should be held, but the basis of representation was left to be decided later. The matter is apt to be fought out on the floor of the Senate and House, where the Republicans would have a voice. State Senator Davis, who had charge of the corporation bills, had a long talk with the Governor earlier In the day with regard to the question of having public hearings on these bills. Hearing Mast Be Prompt. "The Governor agreed with me." said Senator Davis, "that hearings should be held and opportunity given for full and free discussion, but he held that these hearings should take place Immediately ' so as not to delay action on the bills." Governor Wilson expressed satisfac tion with the result of the conference and said that he felt such meetings Invariably led to better understanding all around. The Governor left here at 4:26 o'clock to attend a banquet in Atlantic City. STATE SEXAT13 GIVES DIX'ER Members of Both Parties Attend I-'untitlon in Wilson's Honor. ATLANTIC CITT. N. J-. Jan. 28.

The Governor's speech, it was learned from some of the diners, was largely In reminiscence of his New Jersey ad ministration, though he took occasion o emphasize again his interest In the passage of the corporation bills. The Governor is reported to have said that New Jersey now had its opportunity to stand In the front rank of progres sive states in accomplishing a reform upon which the whole country had set its mind. In referring to the fight in other states for progressive legislation the Governor, according to persons present, lauded the efforts of Senator La Fol lette in that cause.

LOAN HAS BEEN ARRANGED Some or Balkan Diplomats Will Start for Home Soon Powers Continue to Advise Policy of Moderation. LONDON. Jan. 28. The evident re luctance of the Balkan allies to resort to a resumption of hostilities, it is thoueht. mav be due to their failure to arrange the difficulty with Roumanla. Dr. Daneff, head of the Bulgarian alle gation, who remains in London, will have another conference today with M. Mishit, the Roumanian Minister to Great Britain, on the subject of the Russian claims. A rumor is In circulation in Sofia that Roumania is willing to present an ultimatum to Bulgaria. The Rouma nian i-overnment has Just arranged for an advance of 110.000,000 from a Ger man syndicate on treasury notes, anu, arrord'inir to a Vienna report, the Rus sian Emperor has conferred the Order of the White Eagle on the Roumanian Premier, Titu MaJoresco. A 1 lira Pause at Prospeet. It scarcely can be doubted that ap prehension regarding the attitude of Roumanla and Russia in event of the resumption of the war is making thie allies pause. The Vienna Reichspost asserts that Bulgaria is willing to concede the Rou manian territorial claims, provided Roumania will take an active share in the military operations against Tur key. With the presentation of their note to the Turkish delegation, the dats for which, however, has not yet been fixed, some of the Balkan delegates consider that their mission in London will be ended. The Greek Premier, Eleuther lon Venlzelos, announced tonight that he would leave before tha end of the week and the others within the next few days. The financial advisers and military officers attached to the Bulga rian delegation will start for home to morrow. I Despite this, the diplomats have not given up hope and many still think the Balkan note is another attempt to exer cise pressure on Turkey and that the allies really intend to await the an swer of the new Turkish Cabinet to the Joint note of Europe, a course which the powers always have advised. Day Lost Or Gained. "Another' day lost," exclaimed those who believe that the only solution is to be found in the resumption of hos tilities when the meeting of the dele gates of the four allied nations ad journed this afternoon. "Another day gained," retorted those who believe that peace Is to be reached by postponing extreme measures. The meeting of the allies lasted five hours and the discussion was animated. The delegates reviewed the whole situ ation and debated both sides of the question the resumption of the war and the policy of delay, trusting to time to solve the difficulties. The head of each delegation reported the conver sation which he had with sir Edward Grey, the British Foreign Secretary, and reference was made again to the advice of the Ambassadors to observe prudence and moderation. Argument for Delay Strengthened. This greatly strengthened the argu ments of that section favoring pro crastination, their view being that after the powers' note to Turkey, which was In favor of the terms of the allies, if the latter continued to follow Eu rope's advice, Europe would continue to gi"e its support. The note was left with S. Stojan Nov akovitch. head of the Servian delega tion, the delegates Intrusting him to choose an opportune moment for Its presentation. Some think he will pre sent It tomorrow. Others are of the opinion that this particular form was adopted with the object of avoiding an Immediate rupture and giving Turkey time to reply to the powers. Porte Will Refuse Concessions. The Constantinople correspondent of the Chronicle learns that the Porte's reply to the powers will express regret that it is impossible to make 'further concessions. A well-informed correspondent at Tiflis says that Russia has mobilized a force of nearly 70,000 men on the Turkish-Armenian frontier. An Odessa dispatch to the Daily Mail reports that the Armenians of Bitlis. Van and Mush are in peril and are appealing: for Russian aid through the Russian Consuls. It is generally believed, according to the correspon dent, that Russian occupation of the Turkish-Armenian districts Is Inevita ble. Turkey's Reply Due Today. CONSTANTINOPLE. Jan. 28. Offi cials of the foreign office are engaged in drafting In French the text of Turkey's reply to the Joint note of the European powers. It Is expected that the reply will be ready tomorrow. NEW EVIDENCE INDICATED Judge Allows Latitude in New Trial of Dr. B. C. Hyde. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 28. Soon after the taking of testimony was be gun today in the trial of Dr. B. Clarke Hyde, charged with the murder of Colonel Thomas H. Swope, the illness of Carl D. Higgins, a Juror, caused ad journment. The only witness heard was O. W. Cogswell, a clerk in the Probate Court, who testified to the probating of Colo nel Swope's will. The rulings of the court today indicated that much new evidence would be Introduced at this trial.

National "Spies, Detectives, Decoys, Hatchers," Etc., Says Colonel, Now Number 46,000. CHICAGO, Jan. 28. Criticism of Gov ernment espionage over private prop erty and private interests was the bur den of an address here tonight by James .Hamilton Lewis, Democratic candidate for United States Senator from Illinois for the long term, before the Chicago Traffic Club. "The business of tomorrow," said Colonel Lewis, "is to correct the errors of the Government business of yester day. On? of these is Government regu lation. This Nation has forgotten the doctrine of sfate sovereignty in home affairs and in the fascination of the usurped National authority has plunged into regulating the citizen in his pri vate conduct and in the conduct of bis personal affairs until it has regulated business to the verge of confiscation and relegated the citizen to the plane of a dependent on governmental favor. "If tho reports of the different de partments of the Federal Government can be relied upon, there are now ex isting in this Nation, under the desig nation of 'agents,' 46,000 individuals who serve as spies, detectives, investi gators, watchers, decoys, betrayers', silent accusers and secret slanderers of everything which pertains to the citi zens in America. , "No man is engaged in any large undertaking but who now is presumed by the Government to be dishonest and his business to be a fraud. No small business man aspires to equality of competition except as the Government shall permit him to do. National regu lation has now become National stran gulation of many noble men and many worthy things. "What this country needs is more men over the government and less gov ernment over the men. More liberty to the state and the citizens in private and personal conduct and less of Na tional supervision, suspicion and con demnation of personal individuality and commercial lberty."
