Wilson Will Not Appear at Congress Tonight
Washington December 6 President Wilson will not address Congress in person tomorrow if plans hold. He will send a written message read to both houses, as was done last December, instead of appearing before a joint committee. Lodge Underwood Mondell and Fordney met him in the Blue Room. Wilson, using a cane, said he could not yet use his leg. The reception showed his long illness but he appeared in comparatively good condition and weight gain. The message contents were not disclosed though reports said it would cover the agricultural situation and other topics.
