After conference with the leading
hotel men and with the general con-
vention committee of Kansas City,
Chairman Jones handed the Associated
Press the following signed statement:
THE three or four leading hotels
have already contracted practically for
their full capacity. On account of the
increased expense in preparing for the
convention, the managers Of the larger
hotels felt themselves compelled to re-
auire contract for a minimum time OF
four days, the time to begin at the OPP
tIon Of the delegation making the con-
tract, but they did not increase their
regular rate.
"In the other hotels, nearly forty in
number, and the eight or ten thousand
outside rooms listed by the local COM
mlttee on public comfort, accommoda-
tlons can be had at reasonable rates,
and payment is only required for the
length of time the rooms are occupied,
Good Care for Reasonable Rates.
"The local committee on public COM
fort has so systemized It's work that IT
appears to me that It is possible for
any man to be taken care of better md
ut more reasonable rates than hus been
the case at any former convention,
"The general work Of the bureau of
information and committee on public
comfort is in charge of A. D. L. HamH-
ton, New York Life building, Kansas

desired, reserve rooms and make con
tracts for oil persons wishing to at
tend the convention. Comfortable rooms
may he secured by correspondence with

reau win be established at all railroad
stations in the city, ana members Of the
committee on public comfort. wearing
badges, will meet nil Incoming trains
and viii nlso be stationed at all hotels
to assist visitors in securing the kind
of quarters desired.

Equal Representation for Counties.

Equal Representation for Counties.
PHILADELPHIA. Pa, June 15.-The
Republican national committee to-day
decided the contest from the Nineteenth
district Of Pennsylvania during the af-
ternoon. This case arose over the fol-
lowing controversy between the coun-
ties of York and Cumberland on the
question of relative representation in
the conference for the selection of del
egates. Originally the three counties
comprising the district had equal repre-
sentatIOn, but In late years there has
been departure from this rule in some
cases, and York has boen given an In
creased vote because Of larger popula-
tion. In the last conference demand
was made for this increase, and denied
by the other counties. The result was
q contest between John L. Hill, jr., Of
Cumberland, and James A. Dale, Of
York. Mr.. Quay esPouBed the cause
OF Mr.. Hill, who stood for equal repre-
sentation on the part Of the counties,
and Senator Penrose made an appeal
for him. The result was favorable to

part of the contest is that the High School

can be accounted for through the fact that
the Marylanders' errors were not costly
and that they made their hits when men
were on bases. and as result scored runs.
