DE-docRATIC PRESS BUREAU.
REORGANIZATION Likely to Follow 1t
Removal TO Washington.

The announcement that the Democratic
Press Bureau will be removed from Chica-
go to this city, and that there will be a Sc
lection of new director for that concern to
succeed Director Devlin, who it it is said,
has not given satisfaction, is verified here
by leading local Democrats.
James X. Jones, jr. private secretary to
Senator Jones, the chairman Of the National
Democratic Executive Committee, is ex-
pected to arrive in Washington tomorrow
from Scotland, where he has been sojourn-
ing with his father. 1t is believed that
Mr.. Jones has instructions TO arrange in
conjunction with Acting Chairman Stone
for the transfer and reorganization Of the
press bureau. Among the men well known
In Washington who are named to succeed
Deylin are: James Kerr and Judge w. B.
Fleming. These gentlemen last year were
secretary and assistant secretary, respec-
lively of the Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee, whose headquarters
were on Thirteenth Street, near New York
Avenue. That campaign, ii is said, was
ably conducted by Mr.. Kerr and Judge
Fleming. While Senator White, the chair
fornia attending 10 his personal canvas
throughout the entire campaign, Kerr and
Fleming are said TO have directed the cam
paign from Washington, raising all the
money, attending TO the correspondence,
and sending out all the literature. Mr..
Kerr is a Pennsylvania and was formerly
clerk in the House of Representatives.
Judge Fleming is q Kentuckian, but prac-
tices law in this city. The former is the
friend of Representatire-elect Sibley. Flem-
ing is the friend of former Senator Joe
Blackburn, the Kentucky Democratic idol,
who has similar aspirations.
Now that it has been determined to bring
The press bureau to Washington, it is be-
iieved that this city will also be made ma
tional headquarters of the Democratic
Executive Committee. This move will be
made in order TO have the meeting place
convenient to a majority of the members
of the committee, who are Senators and
Representatives, and who will be concen-
frated here from the first Monday in De-
cember until the Presidential and Con-
gressional campaigns are in full swing.
