has summoned a meeting Of the exec.
utise committee 70 meet at Washing.
ton ON May I. This OF course has
opened the way TO a good deal Of
speculation. What is the meeting
torf'' Is askei by everybody, yet no

himself declines 70 make any explana.
ton and none Of his friends put for.
ward ans theories The general be.
lief u that Quay has called meeting
