IS KEPT BUSY AT HEADQUARTERS

Chicago, August 13.-Wllham Jennings Bryan has promised to address the denIs onstration of the United Irish socieities Wednesday at Sunnyside Park. The afE nouncement was received with great efA thusiasm at the headquarters of the Unfted Irish societies, and committees were inf> mediately appointed to make additional preparations for the event.
 The invitation was extended to Colonel Bryan by Patrick Sherry O'Ryan, secTetary of the Irish-American Association, and ba- fore MT. O'Ryan left National Democratie headquarters he had MT. Bryans consenf More than 100000 cards of invitation will be distributed throughout the city today, and officials of the United Irish societies say that they will secure for the ant-ips perialist champion audience which will rival the crowds which aroused O'Conneu and Parnell in Ireland.
 Other addresses will be delivered by Adlai Stevenson, Charles A. Towpe, Sam Alschuer, Michael J. Ryan, of Philadels phia; Colonel John F. Finerty and John l, Feeley. Two meetings are announced for Wednesday in connection with the Irish demonstration. One will be held in the afternoon and one in the evening. Colonel Bryan will speak at the afternoon rQest- ing, over which Rev. Father F. L. Rey- holds, of St. Annes parish will prestige. Congressman Foster will offioiate at the night meeting, and M V. Cannon will read an address and resolutions which wuJ voice the sentiment of the United Irish societies anent the political situation.
 B,yan's Escort
 Colonel Bryan and other distinguished guests will be escorted to the park by thS Clan ma Gael Guards, the provisional regt- ment maintained by the United Irish so- cieties The parade will leave the Audi- torium at 9 o'clock, and the line of march will be north on Michigan avenue to Jack. son boulevard. west to Clark street and north on Clark to Sunnyside.
 The announcement made by Colonel Finerty that he will support the Demo- cratic ticket has infused new life ip the United Irish societies and it was reported yesterday that every Blaine Republican, the name of which the Irish Republican prefers to be known, would follow the lead of President Finerty. With Patrick Egan, Patricq Ford and Colonel Finerty supporting Bryan the Republicans lose the last three of the Irish-American leaders upon whom they have depended for a large section of the Irish vote in this city.
 Information also was received at Demo. cratic headquarters that MT. Bryan would speak in Cleveland, O., on Labor Day, September 8, but the leader denies that he has made definite arrangements. Colun- bus is also after the Bryan Labor Day speech; likewise Chicago. It is under- stood, however, that MT. Bryan will speak here on account of the G. A. F. encamp- ment the latter part of this month, and there are said to be special reasons for not speaking in Chicago at so early date thereafter 4
 Has Much In Hand
 MT. Bryan has two notification acceptance speeches to make in the near future and his formal letter of acceptance for the Democratic National Committee to prepare. The Populist notification meeting will take place at Topeka, Kan, August B. Tho silver Republican date has not been set.
 Regarding my campaign speeches. wish to say that no schedule will be an- nounced," said Colonel Bryan. T shall speak here and there as occasion seems to require, but I do not propose to run on Scneuie tlme My appOlntments VIII D6 announced on short notices"
 Colonel Bryan spent the day at national headquarters, and received scores of vis- itors. Nearly all callers managed to see the candidate and no particular effort wa4 made by the headquarters managers to prds vent his free intercourse with all cofnerA MT. Bryan discarded his waistcoat and all the red tape dignities which would ordi. narily be conceived to be long to his posiS tion as leader of great party. He advised freely with members of the headquartefA staff and no one seemed to hesitate to ab, proach him on any subject relating to tha work of the campaign. e
 While MT. Bryan was boring over hta morning mail William J. Bryan, Jr, sek cured parental permission, and equipped with bathing suit and car fare hurried down to the foot of Diversey street, where he enjoyed swim in the lake. The youngeH Bryan is an active lad of ten or twelva years and greatly resembles his mother.
 Mir Bryan closeted himself with phonos graph today and delivered oyer again paft4 of the speech of acceptance ho made at ff& dianaolis last week. These sections iu which the candidate promised to call an ex6 tra. session of Congress to deal with tb1 Philippine problem, and the closing perofa& ton were the principal parts of the speech that went Into the photograph. It it e1S pected that the Bryan speech as ground out by the phonograph will play an importan1 part in the campaign .A
