Baker, OF the local directory, made speech tnat
seemingly eomplicatcs the relations between the
state board and the national commissioners ana
may lead 10 lively times In the convention. MT
De Young introduced resolution, which was
adopted. providing for reports from each state
on the work accomplished and information de-
sired At this point Baker was called on TO
speak and In the course of his remarks said:
The object of this convention is to secure the
cooperation of state boards in dealing with the
exhibitors. To do this efieetually the state or
CARNATIONS must secure authority from the
board of control. IL Is difficult TO deal with ex-
hibitors from the states through the depart
ments OF the fair. There must be discrimina-
ton in the selection OF exhibits, and depart
ment chiefs cannot judge of the display
in a distant state or discriminate between ex-
hibitors because they have no means OF iudg-
ing. remedy for this would lie in the regula-
lions directing all applications for space from
the states 10 como through the state board and
vesting state authorities with power OF uls-
elimination as 10 exhibits
The national commission and the board OF
control have heretofore had control OF applca-
tons for space and the installation of exhibits.
Bakers speech apparently conveyed TO the dele
gates the impression that they would not 90
given power in their respective jurisdictions to
say who should exhibit and who not.
Delegate Graves, OF Wisconsin, at once offered
a resolution in that vein. IL was laid over till
tomorrow and from indications 1t will cause
lively discussion.
Ex-Congressman Frank, of Missouri, offered
resolution providing for the organization OF all
state delegations present into one body. Some
OF the members of the board OF control thought
they saw in this a move TO demand permission
TO install the exhibits in the state buildings,
and the resolution was postponed until tomor-
row.
The convention then adjourned. At a subse-
quent meeting or the board OF control the mat
ter was considered and one OF the members said
afterward that while they wanted the eo-opera-
ton OF state organizations and were inclined TO
confer some power on them. they would not
consent to any such broad division OF control
