Annual L. A. w. Meeting.
The annual meeting Of the League Of
American Wheelmen is scheduled to be
held within the next six weeks. although
the date and location Of the assembly
has not yet been announced. a condi-
tion Of unusual apathy exists this year
among the wheelmen. and the various
elective Offices win so a-begging from
present indications. The same conditions
exist ir the various State divisions with
the possible exception OF this State. To
date no candidate for the Office of presi-
dent Of the league has come forward, and
the same can be said Of the places Of
vice president. treasurer and secretary.
The present incumbent Of the office Of
president is understood to be unwilling
TO accept a denomination. Vice Presi-
dent NJ. NJ Belding appears to be the
logical candidate for the premier place
and will in all probability be nominated
and elected Mr.. Belding is assured Of
e the votes OF the New York delegation and
d also those OF Pennsylvania. Massachu-
% setts is in the doubtful column. but
= could probably be induced 10 cast her
votes for the present vice president
The place Of secretary treasurer is
anybody's at the present time. and Penn
sylvania is understood TO have several
candidates for it. New York may also put
forward a man, and there appears to be
more chance for a contest over this
place than any other. Connecticut has
no candidate for any league office at
u the present time. and the same is true
c Of the other State divisions in the
J. league.
