three rooms at the Mitchell hotel, be-

were suddenly changed and she wanted
the suite cut in two and the further
provision that they need not be kept

Little is known as to the makeup
of the lobby, as no reports of delegates

Mrs. Hutton and Mrs. Orene Baker
will be present from Spokane. From
Seattle, a delegation of five or six is
expected, among them Mrs. Emma Da
