BIG EXCURSION TO
SAN JOSE CARNIVAL

The doubts surrounding the success
of the mission of the California delega
tion to Washington have been elimi-
mated almost entirely by the enthusi-
asm with which it was received in the
country's capital, both Speaker Cannon
and Senator Jones of Washington, the
chairman of the exposition committee
of the senate, having indorsed San
F'rancisco's claims in public speeches
at the Metropolitan club Wednesday
night. according to dispatches from
Charles 5. Aiken, director of publicity,
who is travelling with the delegation.
SUCCESS ASSURED
One of his kilograms reads:

sition was indorsed enthusia stically
