JUDGE N1LLEH
said that he nss opposed 70 anJ hasty adoption
Of the report. The principles and past policy OF
the gentlemen named aght to be carefully con-
sidered, 30 that tronbIe and confusion might be
hereafter avoided He for one, would not be
in favor Of accepting the Committee named until
he Wa entirely convinced that they were the
best men who could have been selected. In
conclusion, he moved that the report be sub
mitted to Committee Of Eleven, who would
e1arnine into the whole matter,
Mr. J. Z. DooIitsla, Jr., thought that the Com
mittee had done their duty conscienttous}y. He
held that it would be sheer waste OF time to
refer the matter to another boiy. The bcat
thing TO do would be to accept and approve the
report a. 1t stood before the Club
Mr. Mattox, at old Democrat. objected to
some Of the names On the lias OF the Commitses
and also to some OF the oficors. Hs thought
they we're not oyer-faithful to this Democratic
party.
This called out some 1ncoheront remarks from
several excited gentlemen.
Gen Frank T. shernsn opposed tho nam" Of
FRANCIS l. R0FFH4S. 5R..
who was he sail, rampant Communist, and
consequently highly opprobious.
Gen. Lieb said shat Hoffman had been very
much NE e
very gooo young haa ano one e~pAo'o ~ so11a
political work.
Mr, 4, C. Hesine admitted that hoffman had
been indisereet, but his oneuse went 10 further.
