ing with the object of effecting mu-
tually satisfactory adjustment of the
conflict regarding the dates of the Pan

commercial excursion which will leave
for. Los Angeles Friday afternoon to
meet with San Diego representatives
and take such steps as might be deemed
proper to reach an, amicable agreement
regarding the settlement of the worlds
fair controversy.
The Los Angeles excursion was ar
ranged under the joint auspices of the
chamber of commerce and the Mer-
chants exchange for the particular pur-
pose of attending the international avi-
alton meet in the southern city. ma
jority of the members of the directing
committee of the exposition have an
nounced their intention of accompany
decided yesterday that no better op-
portunity could present itself for such
a conference as that planned.
EXPECT AMICABLE SETTLEMENT
Scott suggested that the committee
to confer with the San Diego delega
tion should be named by Chairman
Homer S. King of the directing COM
mittee, but l. w. Hellman Jr. proposed
an amendment giving authority to act
to all members of the directing COM
mittee taking part in the excursion.
This plan was acted upon, and Charles
c. Moore was designated as chairman
of the special conference committee.
The idea expressed at the meeting
was that the San Francisco and San
Diego committees should confer with
the Los Angeles chamber of commerce.
and telegram was sent last night to
Director General d. c. Collier of the
San Diego exposition company, inform
ing him of the action taken. 1t was
suggested that the meeting should be
held Saturday morning at o'clock at
the Hotel Alexandria in Los Angeles,
or at such other place as might meet
with the approval of the San Diego
committee.
The conference in Los Angeles is ex-
pected to have an important bearing
upon the future plans for the Panama
Pacific international exposition, for
those in charge of the worlds fair in
this city, as well as the heads of the
San Diego exposition, have expressed
the desire to reach amicable settle
ment of existing differences in such a
way that both San Diego and San
Francisco can work in harmony. The
local committee will rely largely upon
its showing that San Francisco's plan
for a worlds exposition was inaugu-
rated years ago in an effort to induce
~, fr arto to 81
porarily postpone their plans.
