garded as tbe moot important matter
which will be presented for discussion,
and this opinion take* note of tbe tact
that the program for the conference
presents many matters of high Import.
It seems probable that the message
of Becretary Hughes will be brought to
the studious consideration of the con-
ference under the provisions of para-
graph sixteen of the conference pro-
gram, which reads as follows;
“Consideration of the questions aris-
ing out of an encroachment by a non-
American power on tbe rights of an
American nation."
Th* secretary of state promised to
attend the conference, the promise be-
ing made subject to the possibility
that his official duties ndght keep him
in Washington. Hie European situa-
tion is believed to be wholly Responsi-
ble for the final decision of the secre-
tary that he must abandon all thought
of the Journey to Santiago.
The delegates to the conference in
behalf of the United States are Henry

dor to Belgium, former ambassador to
Chile and one-time undersecretary of
state; former United States Senator

given consideration at the conference
are improvement of ocean trans)a>rta-

Washington.—Preliminary discus-
sion relative to the 1924 convention
city of the Republican party, togeth-
er with the making of plans to wipe
out the remainder of the deficit in-
curred by the Republicans in the
1920 campaign and a survey of the
general political situation constitute
the outstanding developments of a
series ot conferences with Republi-
can leaders concluded here by Fred
W. Upham, treasurer ot the Repub-
lican National Committee.
Participants in the conferences
with Mr. Upham included John T.
Adams, chairman of the Republican
committee, who returned to Wash-
ington after a trip abroad; Secre-
taries Weeks and Davis, Rush L.
Holland. Assistant Attorney Gener-
al, and others prominent in the
councils of the party. Mr. Upham,
during his two-day stay in the cap-
ital, also has had two conferences
with President Harding.
From some of those who saw the
Republican treasurer have develop-
ed:
That consideration now is being
given to six cities, Chicago, Kansas
City, San Francisco. Cleveland.
Washington and Buffalo as the site
tor the 1924 convention.
That the deficit of approximately
$1,700,000 resulting from the 1920
campaign Las been reduced to about
$200,000, ami that steps have been
which it is hoped by party
leaders will wipe It out completely
by June 1.
That party leaders expect that the
fortunes of the Republican party in
1924 may turn largely on the gen
eral business conditions obtaining
during tbe next nineteen months.

New Orleans, La.—The contest for
the honor of entertaining the 1924
Confederate Veterans’ reunion seems
to have narrowed down to Dallas
and Memphis, and a battle ot wits
is in progress between the support-
ers of the two cities for votes from
tbe various State delegations.
Another delegation from Memphis
has arrived, armed with a letter
from Governor Peay, inviting the re-
union to that city, and they brought
with them a promise from the Gov-
ernor that he would drop all official
business and come to New Orleans
to assist in the fight it they deemed
it necessary.
While the Tennesseeans were lob-
bying the Texans were not idle.
Texas has 208 votes in the conven-.
tion out of a total of 1.137, and the
supporters declared they

block of such preparations to start
The Texans are here by the
thousands and every individual is
doing all in his or her power to gain

The Tennesseeans claimed they
had the promise of the full support
of Virginia. North Carolina and
Georgia, and large blocks of votes
from other States, and that they
were confident they would have 100
per cent of the vote of the States
east of the Mississippi River and
that of Arkansas before the contest
had gone very far on the conven-
tion floor.
Preliminary business preparatory
to getting down to real work waa

of the thirty-third annual reunion,
