WASHINGTON. July Is.-It has been
practically determined that the Democrats
will select the city OF Washington as their
principal headquarters for the direction OF
the campaign. and that a branch head
quarters will be established at Chicago.
Senator Jones returned from New York to-
day. but would not say definitely where the
headquarters would be located. sMr. Jones
also stated that the announcement that
the presidential candidate would meet the
notification committee at the Madison
square Garden on the 2lst was entirely
premature. In several other respects. Mr.
Jones indicated his unwillingness to make
any statements OF the future plans OF the
Democrats. Nevertheless. Washington will
be made headquarters. In the first place
Washington is the home of all government
publications. which will he sent out during
the campaign, and the Democratic Senators
believe that the congressional document
rooms at the Capitol are easier revived than
re-established in New York Then. too. the
city is practically nonpartisan and its in
habitants are disfranchised. and those gov
ernment employees who retain the right TO
vote make no offensive parade OF their po-
litical predictions. Furthermore. the rest
and quiet of Washington, when Congress Is
not in session. is better adapted 10 the
needs of venerable statesmen likes Messrs-
Harris. Turpie, Jones and other aged men
who are to run the Democratic campaign.
Incidentally, too. Senator German il in
Washington every day. and while Mr. Cor
man will probably not appear as a member
of the executive or the advisory or any
other committee. IL Is known that the DEM
ocratic managers will depend him al
most hourly for the benefit OF his exper-
ience and astuteness in the management
of political campaigns.

Democratic congressional campaign COM
mittee, who has begun work already on
behalf of the Democratic national commit-
tee and Democratic congressional NOM

as saying that he was i'm thorough SYM

Evening Star. The Senator said:
THE statement does not correctly define
my position and / feel unwilling to let IL
pass in silence. i believe the Chicago con-
vention was a legal and regularly const-
