CHAMBER TO PUSH
CAMPAIG TO AID
MONUMENTAL CITY
Washingtonians Favor Balti-
more as Place for Demo-
cratic Convention.

The work of helping Baltimore OBJ
tain the Democratic national conven.
ton for the Monumental City mex
year will be shifted from the special
committee Of the Chamber Of Com
merce appointed last February to the
conventions committee, and upon the
assurances of Granville NJ. Hunt
chairman of the latter, the campaign
will be started at once.
Capt. James F. Oyster. president OF
the Chamber, with the sanction OF
the board of directors, given at its
meeting yesterday afternoon. will
discharge the old committee and as
convention for Baltimore to the con-
Yentions committee.
This determination is the direct
result of an editorial paragraph in

the matter and suggested that no
further time be lost The suggestion
was acted upon at once.
Action on Playground.
The meeting was a special one,
called to consider the Chambers re-
cent action with reference to the bill
for the purchase of the Mt Pleasant
playground. After careful consider
alton the board decided to reaffirm
the Chambers action in going on
record as opposed to any attempt to
break down the principle of half
and-half appropriations by the Dis
trict and the United States for Dis
trict expenditures, but did not place
itself on record as to the merits of
the bill itself
The Chamber will defer declaring
its attitude toward the purchase of
the playground until the Commits
sioners have made their report to
the Senate District Committee upon
the bill
1t is understood, however, that the
Chamber members favor the pur-
chase Of the ground at the northwest
corner of Fourteenth street and CO.
lumbia road by paying half of its
cost from District revenues and half
from the Treasury OF the United
states. 1t was brought out by D. J.
Callahan that the framer of the bill
had made a mistake in the choice of
language and that as framed the bill
would take the whole purchase
price, $4,000. out of the Districts
pocket
