. Much interest centers in the meeting Of
/ the Citizens Club to be held tomorrow
/ night an announcement Of which has al
I ready been given in the Morning News.
A prominent member Of the club said
/ yesterday that he thought the date for
the nomination by the club Of a candidate
/ for mayor would be changed from Dec.
3. for which it was set at a meeting some
/ time ago. and in his opinion, he said
/ the date for the nomination would
probably be later than that time
/ unless Mai Schvarz and his fol-
/ lowing get control of the meeting and
/ NIX II for an earlier date. This. he be-
/ hcved, Maj. Schwarzs friends would at
/ tempt 10 do, in order to put him through
/ if such can be done He said, however
. that there could be no nomination at
I Monday nights meeting, as there is
rule of the club which provides that when
meetings are called for the purpose Of
making nominations this fact must be an
/ nounced in the call
1t is said, however, that the majors
friends are figuring to get around this by
a motion to reconsider the action of the
! former meeting. followe ed by a motion TO
make the nomination Monday night on
which the meeting is to be held If that
VIII not work it is said the appointment
or a committee to provide for a club pri-
mary is contemplated, with proviso that
only qualified registered voters within the
club can vote at the primary and IL is
claimed that Mai Schwarz has among his
/ following a majority of this class Of the
clubs members. The first movement men
toned as contemplated by the Schwarz
faction would be a test of it's strength in
the meeting Monday night, but then there
are powers which sometime repress for the
time being that of the majority.
1t has been talked among Mai. Schwarzs
/ friends that as aresult of their meeting
last Friday night the conclusion was
reached that he must be nominated and
nominated at once. The suspense must be
done away with. One of them said if the
nomination was not made at Monday
nights meeting, Maj Schwarz would an
| nounce himself at once as an independent
candidate, and that he would have a strong
| backing. This it is thought would Sc
rously complicate the situation for there
Is large element in the club which will
oppose any such movement and which will
do all in its power to keep the entire club
! together.
There is no doubt that the meeting is
considered an important one, as it has
been so announced in the circulars which
have been sent to all the members urging
them 70 attend as the mayoralty question
viii be considered, and every member who
has the welfare of his club and the cftv at
heart should make every sacrifice to be
present Monday night"
Maj Schwarz was seen yesterday by

u he expected the nomination to be made
by the club tomorrow night. The major
was non-cammittal, as usual, and repeated
his old assertion that he is in the hands of
his friends. He evidently had not heard
Of any rules, however, which would pre-
vent a nomination being made
a strong supporter of Mai Schwarz de-
clared that the rule preventing a nomi-
nation which had not been previously an
nouuced was 81 new one on him. You can
Just wager he said, that if Mr. Myers
friends are in the majority Monday night
he Will be nominated then and there" lie
would not say whether the SchwarZ men
would attempt to make the nomination.
but he intimated very strongly that such
would be the case. The meeting at the
/ longshoremen's hall Friday night was
said TO be composed of the leaders of the
Schwarz following in the four CITY dis
trlcts, together with committees which
/ had been appointed in his interest. What
]
{ action was taken by the meeting was not
/ announced, but as stated I'm yesterdays
/ Morning News, the meeting was held TO
make preparations for tomorrow nights
/ meeting Of the Citizens Club. The deter

/ the majors interests, whatever action was
/ taken.
+ The statement yesterday that the First
/ district club, which met at Turner hall
/ Friday night was in the interest of
/ Schwarz, was an error. Mai Schwarz'
/ friends have claimed all along that the
/ First district club would support their
/ candidate, but this does not appear to
/ be the case. The reports as to the number
present at the meeting vary all the way

number present did not exceed so, and
that the sentiment of the meeting was
/ very evenly divided, and that it required
