IN THE LYCEUM.
The members of the executive COM
mittee have decided to hold the busl-
ness session of the convention in the
Lyceum theatre on Wednesday morn
ing instead of in the armory as orig
inally planned. The convention itself
will be attended only by the delegates
and 1t was decided that less than a
thousand persons would be practically
lost in building as large as the ar
mory. In the Lyceum the delegates
be easier 10 conduct the business of
the convention, it Is thought.
The convention will be called to order
at 10 o'clock and after the delega tes
have been welcomed by Recorder W.
l.. Connell, the election of officers and
the transaction of general business
will be taken up. Following this there
will be brief addresses by Senator
Penrose. Major Everett Warren and
others. On Wednesday afternoon at
2 o'clock a reception will be rendered

city hall by Recorder Connell
