 He anticipates a larger attendance at the convention here this week than at any ever held before by the organiza- ton. He was pleased at the prepdra- tions made by the citizens of Birming- ham to entertain the convention. But few delegates have arrived so fnt Many are said to be on their way now .
 The city today placod number of cots in the oity hall to provide lodging quarters for such delegates and visi- tors who could not find accommoda- tions at the hotels and boarding houses.

 The Executive Committee of the Cot ton Association will hold their first meeting tomorrow, prior to the big con vention.
 In speaking about the fight being made to secure a fraud order against thet New York Cotton ENchange, Pres ident Harvie Jordan of 4he Southern Cotton Association this afternoon said;
 Tt is being carried on as rapidly as possible and will no doubt result in forcing the New York Cotton Exchange to do "a legitimate business, or else ad- init to ithe world that they are engaged in a game of pure speculation"
 When asked if the New York Cotton Exchange would bring any means to oppose his re- election, Mir. Jordan said: Undoubtedly they would be glad to see me defeated.
