the MEMBERS OF the board feel is known

The second day Of the executive
boards deHD-ratlOn was notable Tor
many rUmors in circulation and for the
CONSPICUOUS dearth Of results. The alb
seuce OF three of the principal men,
hers of the board from the sessions to-
day gave rise to the story that the
members were divided in their ideas Of
che peace proposals, and that in order
10 satisfy all, Secretary Williams had
been sent 10 New York 70 seek mOdth-
cations at the hands of Messrs. Nor
gan and SchWab. while Assistant Sec
TeLary Tighe and Trustee Morgan had
received commission to visit senator
hanna TO secure his aid IN bringing
about an AMIGA bic arrangement. Moth
ing tangible could be learned concern
ing these supposed trips, however, ana
al talk in relation TO them must re
main merely conjecture until the return
Of these members and their lips are IN
sealed.
