ATLAsTRS DELEGATES TO MEMPHIS
Said to Be in a Movement for Another Meet ing-They Wanted State Bank
 Tax Repealed.

Atlanta. Ga, May 25.-The Atlanta delegation to the Memphis sound money convention returned home this after noon. and with their arrival the an- nouncement is made that another con- vention will be called in the fall which will permit a discussion of the financial question. The delegates were support CTS of the financial policy of the admin istration and the announcement of dis satisfaction at the Memphis convention was received with surprise here It seems that the delegates complain that the entire affair was cut. and dried and nobody had any showing to advance any argument that conflicted with the pre- arranged programme.
 Among the prominent members of the Atlanta delegation were Messrs. W. T. Neil, R. D. Maddox and c. A. Collier, bankers, and A. H. Cox and H. T. h. man. The Georgia delegation in caucus before the convention decided to offer a resolution suggesting the uncondition- al repeal of the 10 per cent tax on state banks It seems that they were cut off by the resolution adopted immediately upon assembling that all resolutions should be referred to the committee on platform without debate. Such resolu- tions as were presented by the Georgia delegates were never heard from again
 The dissatisfaction of the Georgia del- egation is expressed in the movement begun on the return trip to Atlanta to call another convention which would permit a full discussion of the financial question, and which would be domi- mated by business men instead of poiti- clans. It is claimed by members of the Atlanta delegation that not business man was permitted to open his mouth at the Memphis convention, the only speeches made being those of Congress men Josiah Patterson of Tennessee, Richard Clark of Alabama and Catch ings of Mississippi.
 Nothing has yet been done towards the calling of the new convention fur ther than the announcement of the de- termination that 1t Is to be held, and that 1t will be a business convention. Members of the Atlanta delegation, in interviews on the subject, admit that the movement is under way, and that the call for another convention has been decided upon. This step was agreed upon in conference with delegates from other states, who discussed the matter on the return trip.
 MT. Romore, vice-president of the At lanta National bank, in an interview to- day expressed great surprise at the &C., tion of the convention in declaring for the abolition of national banks. MT. Romore was one of those who took a prominent part In sending a delegation from here to the Memphis convention. He had no idea that any attack on the national banks was contemplated, and in today's Interview says that fortunately the Memphis convention cannot repeal the national bank act, but that that must be done by congress, and that con gress will not do it.
