The convention hall plans have been
adopted at last. George A. Bracket
and w. E. Steele returned from Chicago
yesterday. They left II. F. Brown i'll
Chicago, Thomas Lowry went on to
New York and K. B. LangdoE went to
Hot Springs. These men represented
Minneapolis at Tuesdays conference
with COnger and Payne, of the Repub-
lean national committee, on the plans
for the convention hall. George A.
Bracket says the conference was most
satisfactory one in all respects. 1t re-
suited in the adoption. practically, of
the plans drawn by Architect Hayes,
of Minneapolis. Mr. Bracket was
well pleased with the stand taken
by Architect Adler, of Chicago. Said
he yesterday:
Mr.. Adler made very manly state
ment at the meeting. He said that he
recognized the fact that the people of
Minneapolis might have some local
pride in the matter, and might think it
strange that he was called in to consult
III regard to the plans. He said that he
had no desire 10 interfere with any ar
engagements which we might care to
make: that he had high regard TO:
Mr. Hayes personally and profession
ally, and that he was perfectly willing
to withdraw entirely, and leave the
whole matter in Mr.. Hayes hands. We
decided, however, to have the two archi-
tectS work i'll conjunction with one an
other: Mr.. Adler will act for the ma
tlonal committee and Mr.. Hayes for us.
Mr.. Adler would have come Oh with me
last night, but his father. who is quite
an old man. is Ill, so Mr. Adler could
not leave. l am expecting a telegram
from him shortly, telling me when lie
can be here, and have no doubt but he
VIII reach Minneapolis within a few
days, then the two architects will get
together and decide what changes will
be necessary, the contract will be let,
and the work pushed to completion"
It's useless. however, to assert that
the plans will be either Mr.. Hayes or
Mr. Adler's. There will be such changes
made as will make the plans composite
affairs.
I'VE will use the best features in
each" says Mr.. Brackett. The main
floor will be used for the convention.
the seats will be TERED back, and. if
necessary, portion of the gallery will
be cut out. The hail when completed
will seat about twelve thousand. Fur
thur than that | cannot say, for it is un.
advisable to go into details until the
architects have looked over the plans
and decided what changes they will
make in the minor details. What we
want TO do, OF course, is to get the best
results for the least money. Mr.. Adler
said yesterday that when the changes
were made we would have the best con-
Ventlon hall III the country, and he is an
expert Ill those matters, as you know"
The executive committee is feeling
better than at any time since it began to
put Minneapolis into shape to care for
the convention. The members of the
committee are now able to see where
they stand. They have completed the
prelIminarieS in connection with the
convention hall, and they are getting
along well with the work of assigning
the delegations TO their rooms. The
hotel committee has already assigned
twenty-four state delegations to their
quarters. Twelve hundred out of the
1,S00 delegates and alternates have thus
been provided Tor. All of these dele
cations have been taken care of without
calling upon any of the st. Paul or Min
netonka hotels. In fact, all put two of
them are Quartered either at the West
or the Nicollet. This would seem to in
dictate that the city is going to be able
to hold all the people who may choose
to come. George a. Bracket saws the
members of the Illinois and Wisconsin
delegations have assured him that they
will be satisfied with whatever the COM
mittee is able TO do for them. They
know how it is themselves. The Hi
nois people, especially. have good deal
of experience III taking care of conven-
tons.
The committee will set the associate
architects to work OH the plans of the
building at once. and will endeavor to
have the alterations on the building
completed by the 1st of March. If the
hall be put i'll shape there will be so
much more time for decorating it,. The
plans call for seating capacity of
1925.
