MAY "FIRE" MAJOR HANDY.
Worlds Fair Directors Think the Press De.
partment Too Expensivs-That Big Loan.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14-The congregational
loan of S5.OOO.OOO to the worlds fair, Major
Handy and his department of publicity and
promotion, and Director-general Davis's
report were considered by the board of con-
troll of the national commission, which
went into session for its October meeting
to-day. At the same time the Chicago d.
Iectors were holding session of their ex-
ecutive committee. and struggling with
practically the same subjects. Each body
met behind closed doors. and to say that
both meetings were lively would be TO put
it mildly. Another conflict between the
commission and directory appears to be on.
Some time during the session of the direct
Ors q request was sent to the board of con-
troll for special joint conference of the
board Of reference and control, to be held
Friday. The conference ia called. it is said,
TO consider the advisability of abOlishing
the entire department of publicity and pro-
motion. of which Major Handy is chief.
The significance of this move Ia explained
on the basis that Major Handy draws s., 500
q Year from the directory and has q large
staff OF assistants. President Baker. Di-
rector Walker and others seemingly have
an idea that the worlds fair does not need
a press department any longer. and that
the department chiefs can furnish all need
full information to exhibitors and the news
papers.
The board of control, after discussing the
loan question, concluded that their COM
mittee on legislation had exclusive jurig-
diction in the matter. Commissioners
Massey, who is on that committee, said the
draft OF tho loan bill to DO presented to
Congress would probably originate in the
Chicago directory, and then come before
the committee on legislation. When this
stage is reached the members of the ma
tional commission will be prepared to say
whether they VIII support the bill as
framed The local directory are under
stood to favor Secretary Butter worth as
the right man TO conduct the negotiations
for the loan before Congress. The mem-
bers of the board of control are said to be
against bis selection. Opposition to Secre-
tary ButterwOrth is represented as hinging
TO some extent on the fact that he, instead
of one Of the national commissioners, was
made chairman of the recent special COM
mission TO Europe.

this arrangement, the agents here state,
the fugitive craft will be handed over by
