Chairman Harrity Wants Convenient
 City Selected.
 Washington, Dec. 15.-Chairman liar rity when questioned about the story that he favored New York for the next democratic convention said:
 T have no personal or political choice as to the convention city other than that I should like to see a city select ed that would be reasonably convenient of access to the delegates and others who will attend, and which by reason of it's hotel accommodation would be able to provide for the comfort of those present"
 As to the time: Tt seems to me inn practicable to hold the convention later than the latter part of June or the be- ginning of July, although some may contend for the latter date. If the nom- nations were made in the first week of July it would make a campaign of four months The first month would be necessarily devoted to preliminary work in which the public would take no interest,"
 MT. Harrity declined to express an opinion as to the Collins resolution lim- iting the number of persons in the con- vention hall to delegates, alternates, commit tteemen and the press. It is un- derstood, however, that he personally favors making accommodations for reasonable number of visitors and is convinced there is no reason to deviate from the plan pursued heretofore.
