Meeting Next Week.

There has been no recent meeting of the
committee. but it is believed one will be
held here early next week. Those who a"e
most familiar with the opinions of the III
dividual members of this committee are it,
cIiued to a belief that the committee VIII
report i'm effect that Mr.. Norris has been a
member of the committee since June. 1870.
and that no action has been taken to us
place him from that position.
At the recent hearings on this case I'M
portance was placed by members of the
subcommittee the fact that while the
Norris delegation to the convention of 1900
was displaced in part so that three dele
gates were received from the Norris fac
ton and three from the Slater faction, and
while this action might be regarded as in
dicating that some one would have to be
chosen by the delegation in that form as
national committeeman, yet as a matter OF
fact no action taken of a definite
nature displacing Mr.. Norris a member
of the national committee.
1t was argued by members of the sub
committee that by inference il would be
supposed that some one else would have
been named who could receive the support
of the committee in the form in which 1t
represented the two factions, yet as a
matter of fact, no one else was named, ana
the convention adopted no resolution in
terms removing Mr.. Norris as a member
of the national committee. In that view
of the case, it is understood that general
sentiment exists in the committee, In eff
feet. that legally Mr. Norris is still
member of the committee.
The forthcoming report of the subcom-
mttee is awaited with interest by local
democrats.
MI. Slater's Views.
Mr.. Charles w. Slater was seen by a
Star reporter today and stated that he had
information from high authority that the
subcommittee had not decided il favor of
MIR. Norris claim to premiership On the
national committee. Mr.. Slater is far from
satisfied that such action will be an
uounced later. He also said that so far as
lie was concerned he had never been an ap-
pliCant for such an appointment at the
hands of the subcommittee. although he
had been enormously placed in that posi-
ton.
Mr.. Slater announced that he would be
satisfied if a committee to supervise pri-
mary elections i'll the District is named,
with instructions that will insure fair pri-
mirieS later in the spring.
He said that Messrs. VIM. L. Carr and j.
Frank O Meara would be entirely satisfac-
committee.
1t is learned that Mr.. Edwin Seton is
very likely to be named the fifth member
o. this committee, who is to act in a
neutral capacity between the two local fac
tons.
The members of the committee from the
Norris faction, it was reported, would in
clUde Mr. j. Fred Kelley, but il is learned
that that faction of the democracy is not
Yet satisfied as to the names that will be
put on the committee to represent it.
