PHILADELPHIA, PA, Aug A-Demo-
cratic State Chairman James Marshall
Wright devoted a good portion of to-day
to deciding upon headquarters for the
Democratic State Central Committee and
finally found a suite of five rooms on the
third floor of the Mckinley building, 1882
South Peen square, that filled the bill to
the letter. Secretary Ben Mead and Major
John d. Norman assisted in the chase, and
lease on .he place was taken out before the
afternoon was over.
With new headquarters that are well
lighted and airy, they will be ready for
Chairman Wright's staff September l. Mr.
Wright said he was in the city for the
. campaign ''Not that no work has been
DONE" explained the Chairman. "Organi-
zation, along with very much routine duty,
has gone on since the State Convention, as
our headquarters at Allentown amply show,
but matters will now be directed from this
city, and made as effective as possible"
Chairman Reeder called at the Girard
House early this evening to meet Chairman
Wright, according to an appointment agreed
upon last Monday, but Mr.. Wright failed
to appear, and the General left after wait
