pudiated by Jones' Forces


pudiated by Jones Forces.
New York. Aug. 10-The national
committee elected by the delegates to
the Chicago convention will meet in
! parlor DIR of the Fifth Avenue hotel at
II o'clock tomorrow, and will prob
ably be in session until late hour in
the day. A few members of the com
mittee are already in the city, and the
Others are expected tonight,
Chairman James K. Jones will pre-
side and a full attendance of mem
| bers is expected, because the meeting
will be an important one.
Many, important questions must be
| decided by the committee at this meet
| ing. First Of all 1t will have to select
| a location for national headquarters.
Then the plan of campaign must be
decided upon, and Chairman Jones, at
| ter consulting with party leaders from
all party Of the country, win announce
the executiveship of the committee. If
| he can induce men to serve he may also
appoint an advisory committee and a
finance committee.
| 1t may be that the national commit
tee will officially repudiate the wind

| person connected with it, 1t is known
that Chairman Jones Us much displeas-
ed with the work, or rather the talk
ing, done at the wind shop. He de-
MED all responsibility for the place
when he was here last week.
| The national headquarters will no
| doubt be located in Washington, but
there will be branch in this city. In
the location of the latter there will oc-
| cur another embarrassing situation.
Treasurer st. John is paying for the
Bartholdi headquarters. He has paid
for everything SO far, because the treas
ury of the national committee is empty.
| Under these circumstances the commit
| teemen cannot well turn him down, yet
| 1t is doubtful if any member will be
willing to accept the men he has APP
| pointed to places under him. 1t is free
| ly predicted that the national commit
| tee will make clean sweep and start
| the campaign with a new deal all
around
| Arthur Sewall, the candidate for vice
president will be here in time to at
tend the meeting of the committee if he
has any suggestions to offer about the
conduct of the campaign.
ST. John, it seems, Is paying the
| freight for the national committee as
well as for his own wind shop in the
| Bartholdl. At the Fifth Avenue hotel
| to-day it was said that Treasurer st.
John and not Chairman Jones engaged
| parlor DIR for the meeting of the COM
| mittee tomorrow. So long as he con-
| tinues to pay the freight the former
| bank president is probably secure in
his present job even If his windmill is
| broken up.
| Chairman Jones did not reach this
city this morning and 1t was said that
| he would not arrive until tonight,
