CHICAGO. July 1s, 1Sss.-'Boy orator.
William J. Bryan reached the Clifton
House at $3.50 o'clock this morning from
the residence of Mrs. Lyman Trumbuil,
where he and Mrs. Bryan spent Saturday
night and Sunday. He looked fresher
and brighter. after his day Of uninterrupt-
ed rest, and wore the air of man who
has just experienced a bath and a
shave. In the lobby of the Clifton Mr..
Bryan met Senator White of California,
and the other members of the sub-conis
mittee on notification, who had come b},
appointment to have chat about the
arrangement for giving formal notice Of
Mr.. Bryan's selection by the Democratic
convention. Mr. Arthur Sewall, the
e-Presidential candidate, was also
present, and after Mr.. Bryan had finished
shaking hands with the score of people
who gathered about him in the lobby.
he and the others went to Room No. !,
where the Presidential candidate had his
headquarters during convention week.
The subcommittee spent an hour with
Mr. Bryan and Mr., Sewail, and the re-
suit of all their talk was determina-
ton to postpone the date of notification
until some time after July 2l, the date
first named. The members of the sub
committee said. after the meeting, that
the date would undoubtedly be during
the second week in August, and that
New York would be the place 1t was
Mr. Bryan's suggestion that the notiff-
cation should be in the Metropolis. and
everything indicates that no change will
be made. It was found that the sub
committee could not very well make any
definite arrangement for notification in
view of the absence of details Mr.
Bryan told the committee that he wanted
to change his plans and would like TO
go to his home in Lincoln as soon as
possible. Just after the meeting adjourn
ed he expressed his intentions on this
subject to United Press reporter
am going to Salem, Ill, my old
nome, this afternoon he said, "and
will remain there two days. From Salem
/ will go direct to Lincoln. probably by
the Missouri Pacific, and will stay there
and in Omaha until the ARRANGEMENTS
for my notification are made My plans
are uncertain as yet"
Mrs. Bryan will accompany her husband
to Salem and Lincoln.
We are all going home today to
straighten out our affairs said senater
White, speaking for himself and tha
other members OF the Notification Com
inittee. when the conference was over. n
leave for California tonight 1t has been
impossible for US to arrange the details
OF the notification at this time, so we have
deferred the matter a few days There is
q good deal to be done before we can
make our plans for giving Mr. Bryan for
NAL notice of his nomination, and things
must straighten themselves out to enable
us to set the date and place Those things
cannot be done in twenty-four hours
When we get the Details the date and ali
news concerning the notification will be
announced
Senator White was instructed to pre-
pare the letter of notification, and he will
do this at his home in California. Nothing
was said at the conference about the work
of the coming campaign, except that it
was best to begin it at once Senator
Jones. of Arkansas, the new chairman of
the National Committee, left for Wash
ington today, and will make his arrange
ments fer campaign work a once
DR.. Sewall will leave for Bath, Maine
tonight.
