Hughes, conceding a Dem ocratic victory in the recent election, the President has withheld any an nouncement regarding his policies during the next four yearB. He in timated today, however, that he will issue a statement upon receiving Hughes' congratualtions. Mr. Wilson is also working on his opening message to Congress. There is continued doubt an tVUfc* compo sition of the House of Representa tives. it still being uncertain which party fill hold the balance of power.

International matters also demond the attention of the President. He must soon return to diplomatic In tercourse with Great Britain and the selxure of malls by tho Germans.
