FLINT SENDS A PROXY.
Plan of Regulars to Secure a Quorum
of BaIlinger Committee.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 13.-The meeting
of the Republican members of the
Ballinger-Pinchot investigating COM
mittee which was set for today by
Chairman Knute Nelson. was delayed
by the failure of Mr.. Nelson to arrive
at the appointed hour. 10 o'clock 1t
was said the train on which the SEN
ator was expected to arrive was late,
but he would be here to call the meet
ing to order
AS was expected. the Democrat
members and Mr.. Madison of Kansas,
the insurgent Republican, who on Fri
day made public the findings which
condemned the official acts of Secre-
tary Ballinger failed to attend. All
the Republican members. with the ex-
ception of Senators Nelson and Flint,
were present for the meeting. Sena-
tor Flint is not expected to return
from trip abroad for some time.
His absence will result in no quorum
being maintained.
However, it was reported that SEN
ator Nelson had letter from Senator
Flint authorizing Senator Nelson to
cast Mr.. Flint's vote with the major
ity of the Republicans. If this is done,
action on the question as to whether
the Republican findings in the con-
troversy shall be made public now may
be expected. The Republican mem
berS were noncommittal regarding this
phase of the dispute
