 If these committees were to be amalga- mated in one committee, then the mem bership should consist of seven members. | Senator Bailey said that there was a | possibility of carrying Colorado, Idaho, | Montana and Nevada, and he thought the executive committee ought to be en- | larged so as to include representatives, | of those states.
 | MT. Sheehan then modified his propo- sition so as to allow the chairman or | the national committee and the executive | committee time to have the selection or additional members who should have charge of the campaign in special locaii- ties or states.
 As modified. the proposition was adopt ed by the committee. MT. S.-eehan then moved that the selection of treasurer | for the committee be left to the executive committee. This was agreed to. It meant | that August Belmont had not been per suaded to accept the position.
 | Under resolution passed by the na- | tional convention, the executive commit. tee may be chosen from among members
 of the committee or outside Of 1t in the | discretion of he chairman.
 The committee adjourned after having taken only a little more than an hour
 to transact all it's business.
