s. Stewert presided IN the absence of Mr..
Studebaker. who is suffering from illness,
but expects to be present tomorrow. Mr..
Havens read an abstract of his report,
containing the names of Indiana exhib-
itors. The report was ordered printed to
the number of 10000.
The executive committee nearly precipi-
tated an explosion of q deep undercurrent
of feeling to the effect that its leading
members intended to cut off all further
participation by other members on the
work of the commission. but Messrs.
Hawkins and Stewart. the members most
complained of. took refuge in discretion
and withdrew opposition. Captain White.
of Fort Wayne. and Robert Mitchell were
spelling for the conflict. The report is
merely to show progress and Is to be made

with the purpose to turn out tnis commit

TO lead, was not present. and no effort was
made.

was authorized to proclaim an indiana

On motion of Judge Garvin o committee
consisting OF Matthews. Mitchell, Stewart
and Niblack was appointed TO invite Pres

first step in this direction that has been
taken. The truth is Hawkins and Stewart
desired Senator Voorhees, to have the glory
of this OCCASION. and when he could not be
secured they determined that General Har-
rison should not be invited. The ex-Preei-
