returned undelivered.
Il is well known that Mr.. duBignon is
engaged at this time in the senatorial

is little doubt that a meeting of the COM

The Citizens Club members Of the eXecu-
tive committee were not inclined 10 eX-
press themselves yesterday as to what the
executive committee might or might not
do with reference to the request Of the
Liberal Club and its friends. They do not
appear to make any objections TO having
meeting and hearing what the committee
has TO say but they are rather doubtful
on the question as to whether the COM
mittee will under any circumstances re-
cede from its action A prominent member
Of the Citizens Club, who Is not. however
a member Of the committee said that body
could not recede from its position without
the members Of the committee stultifylng
themselves He did not think there would
be any material changes In the resolutions
under any circumstances.
