washington, Jan 13.--The fight for ths location Of the national democra tic con- Nehtlon IS under full headway. Ex-Goy Dave k. Francis of Missouri with four ot' LOUIS boomers. got in this morning ana, accompanied by Hugh H. Wallace or Tacoma, Chief Justice Fuller's son. ln-law and national committeeman for the state or Washington, began their campaign by paying their respects to Secretary Lamont and several other democrats in executive offices. The Mis- souri people will open fiag-bedscked headquarters at the Arlington tomor- row, when their number will be aug mented by the arrival of fifteen St. Louis business men, who are backing what they consider plain business proposition of furnishing the same facilities that are being prepared for the republican con- vention, and so dividing the expense be- tween the two political parties to the financial advantage of both. The citi- Zens committee of Chicago ten in num- Der, are expected tomorrow. Their sec- retary, B. J. Rosenthal. came yesterday and has already had parlor at the Ar lington draped with American flags and large wood cuts of Cleveland and Ste venson. MT. Rosenthal says $40 900 has already been raised by the committed
 
 dangerous competitor. but the New Workers who are coming in say that Chi cago will not be in 1t at all with any of the cities.
 Seven of the advance guard from New York arrived tonight, twenty-five more are due tomorrow afternoon and Tam many Halls big delegation of forty Is looked for tomorrow night. About that time the race between the rival cities will begin to give an indication of its finish. a,t, of TDdi iat rived this morning and has been mak- ing calls about the departments all day.
 Everybody who has come In so far seems impressed with the idea that the convention will not be held earlier than the middle of July, but that impression has no substantial basis so far as can be learned, and may be modified radically before the committee meets on Thursday.
 A subcommittee of the national demo- cratic committee will hold meeting at the Arlington hotel tomorrow night to consider resolution which will be offer ed by MT. Collins limiting the attend- ance of the committee to 1896 delegates and alternates, members of the national committee and newspaper men. The sub committee consists of Harrity of Penn sylvania, German of Maryland. Cable of Illinois, Smalley of Vermont and Wall of Wisconsin.
 The Collins resolution was inspired by the rowdyism In the galleries at Chicago when Senator Daniel of Virginia attempt ed to speak in favor of David Bennett Hill and against the nomination of MT. Cleveland It is not believed that the sub committee will act favorably upon the resolution, although the sentiment gener- ally expressed by members of the full committee now in the city Is that if a similar abuse by the galleries be attempt ed at the forthcoming convention 1t will result in closed conventions, on the line of the Collins resolution in the future.
 There are repeated evidences already that the attendance at the meeting of the full committee on Thursday of this week will not only be large, but in nearly every case those present will be members and not persons holding proxies,
