Built on the Lake Front.
CHICAGO, April l5.-There is a posi-
bility that the wigwam for the demo.
cratic convention may not, after all,
DO constructed on the lake front.
The committee of arrangements has
been SO annoyed by the petty and friv-
olous objections raised by a few pro p
erty owner on Michigan boulevard 10
the location of the wigwam on the
lake front that the committee has
about concluded to look for a suitabl
site in some other section of the city.
The annoyance which the committee
has experienced has been oc-
casioned by agents Of Bar
NUNS circus, who. failing to make
arrangements for the occupancy of the
wigwam after the adjournment of the
convention, have aroused some of the
property wners to offer opposition to
the location Of the structure by intim-
ating that the building is not TO be
removed when the convention adj
jours, but Is to be maintained perma-
nently as q place in which dog shows,
horse shows, circuses and agricultural
exhibits can be held. Notwithstand-
ing the solemn protests of L. ii. Win
ston, Potter Palmer, Washington Hes
ing, Joseph Donrersburger and John
L. Hopkins that they have not the re-
hottest idea of establishing n home for
dog shows, the property owners have
insisted on guarantees that the wig
wan shall be demolished Immediately
after the convention.
