1t was alleged that no Congressional
committee existed in the Fourth District,
and the delegates from that district held a
meeting in the evening at the Baldwin
Hotel for the purpose of appointing Con-
greSsiOnal committee.
An executive meeting of the members of
the State Central Committee for the
Fourth Congressional District was held at
the Baldwin Hotel last night for the pur-
pose of naming the Congressional COM
mittee from the Fourth District. Only Su-
pervisor Hughes from the Forty-second
District was absent, ali the rest being pres
ent in person or by proxies.
Those present we're: w. S. Russell.
Twenty District; G. Mesing,
Twenty ninth District; 1. S. Cohen, Trir-
tieth District; William Smadeke, Thirty
first District; t. c. Duff, Thirty-second
District; c. F. Curry, representing II. c.
Somers, Thirty-third District J. II. Tyr
rell, Thirty,ninth District; ]. II. Mahoney,

fourth District, and John Martin, Forty
fifth District.
The meeting wasted no time in organiz-
ing. A. Ruet was made chairman and
Frank Worth secretary. Then the follow
ing Congressional committee was named
in accordance with the resolution adopted
at the afternoon session OF the conven-
ton:
General w. H. Dimond, n. J. Williams,
Jacob Levi Jr., DR.. A. 2. Kearney, A.
Barnhard, William T. Howe and James S.
Spears.
The naming of this committee precipi-
tated the debate Of the evening. County
Clerk Curry pointed out that in two in
stances there were two men from the same
district IN this committee, while the water
front and south of Market street had no
representation. He assured the commit
tee that he had nothing to say against any
OF the gentlemen proposed, as they were
all good Republicans and above reproach
in every way. But he thought that lit
tie more time should be taken in the selec-
tion in order that the representation
should be more equitable.
Senator Mahoney thought that there
was no use in delaying. He was satisfied
with the list as it was, he said, and he
found majority to agree with him. The
meeting then adjourned.
The Fifth District delegation will meet
at the Hotel Vendome in San Jose next
Tuesday. P. 3. Cornwall is chairman and
G.. c. Ross OF San Mateo is secretary.
J. r. Willoughby Of Ventura and G. II.
Reed of San Luis Obispo were the only
known members of the Sixth. The other
members are from Santa Cruz, Monterey.
Santa Barbara and Los Angeles.
The Seventh District Congressional COM
mittee was appointed at the last State Con-
vention. Thompson of San Diego and
Elliot of Kern are chairman and secretary
respectively.
