According to those near est the president, the "guess" is that an extra session will not be called before May, provided the president is given substantial authority to do the things he as asked for, as far as armed neutrality goes The president is looking at the catl ing of an extra session . of congress with grave doubt. N The vote between the two great parties is so close that its a mty-hfty bet which side organ izes the house in the Sixty-fifth con gress. Representative Michael F. Conry of new lorn city, democratic member of congress for four 'terms, and re elected for fifth, died here today, a,fter a long illness. He was 47 years old. In spite of his failing health, he had been at the capitol quite regularly until last week, and as a member of the ways and means committee had worked hard in connection with the framing of the revenue bill and other legislation. 1 The death of one of the democratic members-elect may have an important effect upon the political complexion of the house in the Sixty-fifth con gress. The democrats and republicans elected i3 members each and there are five independents upon whom de pends which party shall organize the next house. . . t- .... . Lose One Member, If an extra session were called the democrats probably would go into the organization fight only 214 strong and the reDublicans would easily oreanize the house. Members of the New York delegation are confident that a suc cessor to Representative Conry will not be elected until November and even though a special election be called it could not be held for thirty days. An election would establish the even balance before the regular De cember session as Representative Conry, active in Tammany councils, was elected from a democratic dis trict, the Fifteenth. It seems reasonable, theretore. that the president will defer the convening of congress until the early summer, yet contingencies may arise so that he would like to have cc.gress in ses sion at once. . 1 Schortor Defeats Albion.
