CHICAGO COMMITTEES TO MEET HERE.
Az EFFORT LIKELY TO BE MADE TO SECURE
EASTERN COOPERATION FOR THE
WORLDS FAIR.

The Chicago Worlds Fair Committee Foreign
Affairs viii hold a meeting In Network tomorrow.
and the Committee Fine Arts will come together
here Thursday. AS yet no effort has been made by
the representatives Of the Chicago project to bring
about organized plan of assistance, but the work
of the committees here II is thought will be pre-
lminary such action. 1t is essential that the
labOrS VI the committees named should be largely
centred in New-York Il is upon the Consular repre-
sen:stives Of the foreign Governments that the Worlds
Fur projectors must depend 10 have the enterprise
properly placed before the possible exhibitors from
their respective II is here that such ar
r7lngements for transportation must be made will
convince exhibitors ON abroad that the convey dnce OF
their exhibits almost 1000 miles into the interior Is
trife do TO cost and and tear. Snch arrange
ments and the work of advertising the project abroad
Will confne the operations of the Foreign Affairs Com
mittee largely 70 NewYorS.
Although the New-York committees were unanimous
in favor of having the Fair held here. there vas a
general declaration in favor Of helping chicago IN
every way possible at the meetings Of the General Com
mttee. just prior TO It's dissolution. Chauncey W.
Depew and other leaders in the New York project
have openly announced their sympathy with Chicago
since the movement there took material FORM Mayor
Grant. who was Chairman Of the General Committee.
said Yesterday that the committee was no longer IN
existence he had official position which would war
Inn in asking cooperation with chicago from thosc
who formed the New-Yorx committees and he had as
yet received no official notice that such Cooperation
was desired by Chicago. He did not care TO discuss
III" shape any possible cooperation might assume
with ut studying the question or in the absence OF any
know edge that assistance would be required.
MANY of those who were member Of the New-I0rk
Finance Committee are Of wealth. who have eA-
te,ve Investments in railway lines in the West which

probable that much valuable assistance will be given
by them The Finance Committee here worked uerolcaly

that the meeting Of the Chicago committees In New
