NEW COMPLICATIONS IN
the AUTO SITUATION.

New York, Sept. 16. became
known Tuesday that the Savannah Au-
to mobile Club has issued call FIR a
convention of representatives of all the
automobile clubs in this country to be
held at Savannah, Ga, on Nov. Is and
2G to discuss the formation of a new
national organization of motoring
clubs. The dates mentioned are those
upon which the light car race and the
grand prize event of the Automobile
Club of America are to be run on the
Savannah circuit, The call asks each
club to send one delegate at large and
an additional repre- sentative for each
l0C members, and have these delegates
form the proposed new governing body
and elect officers and formulate the
policy to be followed
1t is expected that this move of the
Savannah Automobile Club may have
tendency to further complicate mat
tiers in the controversy that has been
waglng between the Automobile Club of
America and the American Automobile
Association. Peace negotiations be-
tween the two organizations have
reached an advanced stage, and it had
been expected that some announce
ment of plan of compromise would
be announced after meeting Of sew
eral A. A. A. officials in this city on
Monday. but none OF those present
would talk for publication.

some charges against the party

As to the salary proposition it is
