time AID place OF holding the national con-
vention will be selected. Mr.. Huston is no1
ready TO express his preference, but II is gen.
orally understood that he prefers Chicago.
There Is constantly growing feeling that
Chicago will be selected after two or three
ballots. The San Francisco committee OF
citizens is working hard TO win votes, but
IL Is not winning votes that will stick. II f.
quite likely that San Francisco will lead
all competitors on the first ballot, but IL at
any time there appears danger of San Fran
ciscos success combination will be formed
BY all the other competitors In favor OF
Chicago. AS a matter OF fact a number
OF committeeman who will vote for San
Francisco on the first ballo. are really
partial TO Chicago and their votes will be
cast for the Windy City when needed.
