The Suffrage of the Saints was omitted as were the Dominical preces at Compline.

If one treats 3 September as the feast of St Pius X instead of as a feria, then 4 September would be the first feria of the month. In that case, presumably Fidelium would be included on 4 September? Also, if a Votive Mass is used, is the feria still commemorated and then Fidelium and then the final Oration?
Peter,
Yes, if a private Votive Mass was celebrated on the 4th, in the circumstances you describe, 2nd oration of the feria, 3rd Fidelium, 4th A cunctis.
