in that case tho last organization in line
would not reach Washington Square before

mittee OF the Reception Committee was
present and delegation consisting OF Gen.
Zoe. Herman Ridder. st. Clair McKeiway Gen
Daniel f. Sicklcs and William Berr went i'm
mcdiately to the office OF Acting Chairman
MT the City Hall to win
him over to their belief that a change
must be made. Gen. Roo said that in the
opinion OF the comforting committees it would
at least be necessary to take the Clarcmont
breakfast out OF Saturdays programme.
Mr. Guggenhoimcr said that men OF oXperi-
parade would be over in good time Gen. Sick
les replied that his own experience convinced
him OF the contrary. Mr.. GugGenheimer said
the committee must not forget that the Adj
miral would have to cat something that dav
That's all right" said Mr.. Riddcr You
can have an informal luncheon for him on the
boat which takes him from tho foot of Warren
street to Grants Tomb and the formal break
fast can take place on Monday. Oct. ., II you
have the breakfast on Saturday it will be a
hurried affair. and We shall have to hurry tho
Admiral all that day"
Mr.. GuGgenheiner said the breakfast
couldn't be held on Monday. MS the Admiral
was going to Washington on Sunday. but st.
Clair Mckelway read letter from Gen Miles
which said that the committee from Washing
ton would take the Admiral away on Monday
afternoon. Mr.. GuSgenheimer So emed at last
to be convinced that change in the
programme was advisable. At any rate he an
nounced that he would inform the Committee
on Plan and Scope tomorrow OF tho wish Of
the conference and that he would instruct tho
Committee on the Naval Parade to provide a
boat to take the Admiral from tho City Hall ey-
srcises to Grants Tomb. The conference then
broke up and Gen. Roe said he was satisfied
with tho afternoons work.
An incomplete plan Of the order Of the land
parade has been made up. According to it tho

other guests OF tho city in carriages. Behind
them will be the sailors OF the white squadron
