Gen. Wilson Visits Chairmen and Re-
ports Harmonious Progressively
Committee Announced.

General Wilson. chairman of the inaug-
nral committee. called OF several of the
chairinen of minor committees today, to
pay his respects and ascertain the prog
ress that is being made. He reported an
encouraging outlook Tut said to repre-
sentative Of The Star that the condition
which pleased him n ost was the apparent
harmony between all committees and all
committeeman. Judging from conditions
existing an undertaking such as the lay
ing OF plans for the Inauguration of a
President and Vice President presents
many opportunities for disagreement and
CONNECT Some chairmen or prominent
members or committees ha'e ideas of their
own, and it is difficult to persuade them
that this particular idea cannot be carried
out, along the lines laid down by them be-
cause OF conflict with the plans of other
committees. The argument is made that
this thing or that thing was done four
years ago" but this is not convincing In
stead General Wilson tells his caller a
funny story or an anecdote, and the inter-
view ends with the very best of humor
prevailing and the methods of the inaug-
ural administration intact
1t is conceded, by the way. that General
Wilson Is the right man in the right place

In all his work. He calculates ahead and

is a fund of stories of the plains and
prairies, of the Indians and of war times
He can always find something effective to
say which serves as oil upon troubled
waters-or ruffied feelings, as the case may
be. He believes that when a thing is under
taken 1t should be put through with dis
patch, without sacrificing accuracy or COM
pleteness. This. coupled with the motto,
Economy without parsimony." forms the
platform upon which the inaugural commit
tee is proceeding.
