Chicago, Aug, 22.--William ]. Bry-
an will make a determined effort to
place New York state in the demo-
cratic column. Plans to this end were
carefully laid today at a three hours
conference of Mr.. Bryan, National
Chairman Mack. heads of the various
bureaus of the national committee and
members of the executive committee
at democratic headquarters, shortly
after Mr. Bryan's arrival here from
Des Moines. Mr.. Bryan will speak In
New York city, Syracuse and Roches-
ter between September 16 and Goth.
and early in October will again speak
in New York city and in Buffalo. Re-
ports received by Chairman Mack gave
strong hope to Mr.. Bryan and mem
bers of the national committee that
the democrats could carry New York
If Mr.. Bryan will speak in the prin-
cipal centers of the state. 1t was fur
ther developed at the conference that
Mr.. Bryan would mark sharp fight
the vice presidential candidate, would
likely be called upon to make an ex-
tended tour of the Pacific coast states
After the conference had begun
shortly before noon, Chairman Mack
directed that the various committee
bureaus submit reports of their plans
and the progress made in their bu
reaus The national committeeman
present told of the situation In their
states and II was generally agreed that
the outlook for the democratic nation
al ticket was promising. Former Nat
ional Chairman Thomas Taggart de-
clared that Indiana would surely go
for Bryan and that the republicans
were using money to divide the labor
vote. Governor Haskell of Oklahoma,
treasurer of the national committee.
declared that Oklahoma would give
MIR. Bryan $4,000 plurality and that
the state would contribute $4,000 to
the campaign fund. of which $4,000
had already been raised.
Following the reports of the bureau
heads the situation was discussed with
reference to Mr.. Bryans own cam
paign. 1t was made known that there
was strong drift toward MIR. Bryan
in New York state and ethe reports
giving this information to Chairman
Mack indicated that the state could be
carried If Mr.. Bryan would make
swing through the state.
Political conditions In the middle
west were taken up and Senator Gull
berson. chairman OF the advisory COM
mittee, who has been spending the
summer in Maryland. informed Mr..
Bryan and the committeeman that
a Ia
all probability be found In the demo-
cratic ranks. 1t was the opinion of
those taking active part in the commit
tee deliberations that the most effec-
tive campaign for Mr.. Bryan would
be to make speeches In all the middle
west states, speaking oniy In the prin-
cipal centers and then to carry the
fight through West Virginia, Mary
land, Delaware, New Jersey and New
York state. Much of the time II was
suggested, Mr.. Bryan would spend on
these trips in conference with the nat
ional committeeman and state leaders
and In this way give valuable aid and
direction in the various state cam
paigns. After a consideration of these
tentative suggestions and an approval OF
the reports made by the heads of the
bureaus 1t was decided to call a meet
ing of the full committee with the var
ious subcommittee September at
10 o'clock in this city. Mr.. Bryan
told the committeeman that he was
delighted with the progress he had OBJ
served and that while he had only
few suggestions to make he felt that
the work could not have been carried
out more efficiently and thoroughly.
He expressed himself as pleased with
the prospect for democratic success In
November.
It was learned tonight that the vis-
Il of Mr.. Bryan to New York was arr
ranged for with not only the full ac-
auiescence OF those now IN the dlrec-
tIon of the democratic party In that
state, but to no small degree to their
desire to have Mr.. Bryan take an ac-
tive part In the New York state cam
paign. Chairman Mack said tonight;
1--WE talked today on var'n"~ --''-
jects and heard reports from the dill
ferent bureaus which were very favor
able. Mr.. Bryan said they could not
be better and approved the plans that
we have made for the campaign NO
definite dates for Bryan's speaking
trips were made. He will confine his
speaking to the principal centers IN
the middle west and doubtful states
within the next two weeks the dates
for Mr.. Bryan's speaking tour VIII
probably be fixed by the national com
mittee. A constant stream Of callers
swept into the headquarters today TO
greet Mr. Bryan and tonight several
local democratic clubs serenaded him
at his hotel.
Standing In carriage In the mid
die of Congress street between the
Auditorium and Auditorium Annex
hotels and before a crowd that COM
pletely choked the thoroughfares for
nearly half an hour tonight Mr. Bryan
outlined the uses 10 which democratic
clubs can be put In the present cam
palgn. He was repeatedly interrupted
hy applause and shouts of Good,
good" He spoke OF the work OF the
club bureau and said Il was the inten-
tion 10 organize in every precinct IN
the United States a democratic club.
Such clubs, he said, were destined to
do very effective work IN distributing
campaign literature and in collecting
campaign contributions the purpose
being "to spread before the country
the arguments and principles for
