Congressmen To Visit Wilson.

New York Times 100 years ago today, July 13, 1912:
Democratic Members of the House Will Go to Sea Girt in a Body. 
Special to The New York Times.
     WASHINGTON, July 12.— There will be no quorum in the House of Representatives next Friday or Saturday. Two hundred and thirty of its Democratic members, or as many of them as are in Washington, will start on a special train for Sea Girt to pay their respects to Gov. Woodrow Wilson, the new titular head of
the Democratic Party.
    The decision of the Democrats of the House, most of whom have never met Gov. Wilson, to pay this call upon him was reached at a caucus held late this afternoon by the majority members upon motion of Representative Thomas L.. Reilly of Connecticut. The motion was carried with a whoop, and then a special committee, composed of Messrs. Reilly of Connecticut, Alfred G. Allen Of Ohio and Martin D. Foster of Illinois, was appointed to arrange for the special train.
    Each Democrat making the trip will pay his share of the expense of the visit. The date has not been set for the journey, but it will be either Friday or Saturday of next week. The Democratic "whips " of the House will communicate at once with absent Democrats, urging them, to be here to participate in the excursion.
    Speaker Clark will leave Washington at 8 o'clock to-morrow morning for Sea Girt to keep his appointment for a conference with Gov. Wilson. The Speaker will return to Washington to-morrow night.
