WASHlNGION, d - Otlober 10
Special -Acting Chairman Hull, of the
republican Congressional Campaign Com
nittee, has appointed Congressman
.oudenslager, Of New Jersey. as a re-
cree. 10 visit districts in the South in
which there are two Republican candi-
dates, and endeayor. either by caJoiery
or bulldozing. TO make effective certain
decisions heretofore rendered by the
aforesaid Hull. Among the districts IN
which he is expected 10 carry out Hun
impracticable DEGREES are the Third. In
Virginia. and the Second and Fourth.
Loudenslager is to persuade Candidate
Weisiger to withdraw in favor of Russell
who bolted the Hanover convention. he
is also to take Holland out Of the race
in the Second District, and bolster up the
candidacy OF Dick Wise, as the proper
thing 10 do. Hull having so decided; ana
he is 10 endeavor 10 get the colored can
didate. Jones. out Of Thorp's way In the
Fourth District. in short, to restore har-
mony. II possible, and bring together the
warning factions Of the g. o. Z. in the
three districts.
FUNDS FROM HANNA's BARL

a very limited manner, II, in MS discre-
ton, il should be found 1t will be neees-
sarv to accomplish the desired results.
In this respect his mission will be com
plete failure Ii Is hardly probable that
he will succeed in buying off Jones, in the
Fourth District, who is backed by
powerful following OF negroes opposed 10
the election of ThOrp, and II Is beyond
question that the diplomatic LoudenslagcE
will not attempt 10 use any nnan-
ciaI Establishments with either Weisiger.
I'm the Third. or Holland, in the Second
District. on the whole, IT is the opinion
here that Loudenslager Will rather
aggravate than lessen the existing
troubles.
