to have their recommendations for COM

tirely concluded the consideration OF

that this branch Of the work mas bf"h

a very general exchange OF Views upon
this Important point and much done
looking to the harmoniZntlon ana crEs-

Length Of Convention.
The length Of time the convention
shall sit will in all probability be de-
termlned largely by the plan OF pro-
cc.dlng which shah be determined 10y

committee should elect 10 reopen az IN ,

various questions which these disputes
cover. the proceedings would Ge u'uSii ~

The prrponderanCe OF opinion Is that

contests In detail. but that on the CON

There will be- strong pressure on thH
mart OF delegations whose claims nave
bccn adversely passed upon to have thc
controversies rolnvCsilgatcd The de-
feated delegates generally regard the
credentials committee In the light OF

they will insist upon hearing. ~
