INDIANAPOLIS, July 1S-General Har-
rison put in a full days work today. not
withstanding his recent illness and the re-
turn OF summer weather. The Republican
state committee evidently does not pro-
pose that he shall be worn out by visiting
delegations calling at his residence at any
hour during the day, for the Chairman
Huston this evening requested the repre.
sentatives of the Associated Press to an
hounce that the state committee would
henceforth have. charge of the matter Of
fixing time, place and dates when visiting
clubs will be received by General Har-
rison. Delegates and clubs intending 10
visit the general are therefore requested TO
first communicate with the Republican
state committee, Hon. j. y. Huston, chair
man.
Speaking of the causes leading TO this
ev order of business, Chairman Huston
did not attribute it TO the generals late
sick spell, but stated that there had been
evidenced such admiration on the part o.
the people TO call upon General Harrison
that there was danger of crowding him to
such extent that he would be unable to
give the needed attention TO other matters
of great Importance and TO avoid confus-
ion and enable the general to utilize his
time to the best advantage. the matter OF
receiving visiting delegations had been
turned over to the committee.
A small delegation from Frankfort, Ind.

afternoon and Were received by Mrs. Har-
rison. the general having retired for
