PRESIDENT-ELECT VISITS NEW YORK

Woodrow Wilson Journeys to Gotham for Relaxation After Strenuous Work as Governor. President-elect Wilson went to New York Tuesday night after an exhaustive day’s work at the state house in Trenton for a period of relaxation. It had been understood that he was to attend the dinner given in New York by the New Jersey state senate to its presiding officer, Senator James Fielden, who will succeed Mr. Wilson as governor of New Jersey on March 1, but he did not go. Instead he went to the home of a close friend where he spent the evening and retired early. The day saw the accomplishment of the principal reform whleh Governor Wilson had urged upon the state—the regulation of trusts and corporations. The “seven sisters,” as Governor Wilson named his antimonopoly bills, passed the house of assembly without amendment just as they did the senate last week and Mr. Wilson will sign than today. The governor was delighted that the chief proposal of the party program was carried out so effectively. Earlier in the day he listened to the objections of state labor leaders who thought the bills might restrict the setivlties of labor unions, hut the delegation wait away quite convinced by Mr. Wilson that they need have no fear of such an application by the New Jersey courts.
