WASHINGTON. D. c.. September %
tspociall-The calling Of a convention
OF the Wise-Waddy faction in the Second
District was exclusively foreshadowed in
the Washington correspondence of the
Dispatch three weeks ago. The infor-
nation received then was from an I'M
doubted authority. Despite the repeated
denials Of the Bowden faction the con-
ventiop has been called, and it is de-
clared that its nominee will be recog-
nized by the Republican Congressional
Committee. The Dispatch correspondent
here has received a copy Of the call for
this convention, and it will be Of general
political interest. The call is as follows:
