Washington, April 10.-Thc Chicago
Conkey and j. NJ. Glenn, had final in
terview with Admiral Dewey. No men
ton was made of politics, the admiral's
only allusiQn to the matter being that
since he had accepted the invitation to
visit Chicago last October, conditions had
so changed that he was accepting no fur
thcr invitations.
He assured the committee that he was
glad to accept the hospitality of the city
of Chicago. He told the committee he
had received invitations from various or
CARNATIONS there to become their guest.
but had not accepted them. He had
placed himself solely in the hands of the
city of Chicago.
He requested that there be no separate
entertainments for himself and Mrs.
Dewey. He wished matters to bY so ar
ranged that she could attend all the func-
tions at which he would be present.
The admiral, who received the com
mittee in a most cordial manner, was as
sured that his wishes in this respect
would be carried out and also was in
formed that arrangements had been made
to have his son, who is now Il resident of
Chicago, participate in the various en-
tertainments.
The admral's party, consisting Of him
self and Mrs. Dewey, Lieutenant Cald-
well, Mr.. Maddy of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, Chinese servant and
Mrs. Dewey's maid, will leave this city
in special train over the Baltimore and
Ohio OH April 20 in time to reach Chca
go and rest before the ball at the Audi
torium, on the night of the Both, the eve
Of the second anniversary of Manila Bay.
Will Travel In Splendid Train.
The train will be one of the handsom
est ever run over the Baltimore and Ohio
tracks. Admiral and Mrs. Dewey will
occupy President Cowan's private car.
No stops will be made between Washing
ton and Chicago, as the admiral does not
wish the trip to have the appearance of
stumping tour.
After leaving Chicago, however, the
party will take II days tour through
the Mississippi valley. So far as outlin-
ed this will include stop of one day at
Jacksonville, Ills, two days in st. Louis,
two in Memphis, two in Louisville, two
in Nashville and one in Frankfort.
Admiral Dewey was asked concerning
a story in circulation that Mrs. Dewey
had left the Catholic church and was to
become communicate of st. Johns
Episcopal church here. He replied it
was matter he did not wish to discuss;
that he did not see it was n question of
national interest whether Mrs. Dewey
was a Catholic, Methodist or an Epis-
copalian. 1t was matter entirely per-
sonal to Mrs. Dewey, and he added
"Mrs. Dewey is not being interviewed
now on any subject"
No date has been fixed for the publica-
ton of Admiral Dewey's proposed polit-
ical statement.

Committee

Rutland, April 10.--Reliablc in
formation has been received from the
leading men in the democratic party
that indicates beyond question that
Admiral Dewey will not have a single
delegate from this state to the
National Democratic convention at
Kansas City,. The organization is
completely in the hands of the free
silver men, and gold democrats like
Brad Smalley, who might support
Dewey, have no standing or influence
in the party today.
The delegates will probably be
Maloney, McGettrick, Childs and
Sibley at large, with Bullard and
Harris from the first district and
Robinson and Fitzpatrick from the
second district. These men are all
for Bryan, first, last and all the time.
John Senter of Montpelier is prom
inently spoken of as the democratic
candidate for governor and Herbert +.
