National Bank. will leave tomorrow for
New York, where they will join a large
party Of New York and New England
bankers en- route for the annual con-
vention of the American Bankers Asso-
citation in New Orleans next week.
Mr.. Mearns is the accredited delegate
to the convention from the District
Bankers Association. District bankers
are looking forward with more than the
usual interest to the coming convention,
because they hope to obtain from II a
position on the executive council. The
executive council is made up Of delegates
from the various States, each 100 bank
ing institutions emitting the State to a
vote in the council The District has but
thirty banking institutions and SO, under
the constitution Of the association, Is not
entitled to representation on the council
An attempt will be made. however, to
amend the constitution so as to make
an exception in the case OF the District.
Mr.. Mearns believes the chances are
bright for success.
Mr. Mearns and Mr.. Flather will meet
some 400 bankers in New York tomorrow
and leave with them on a special train
which will run in four sections. The
route will be over the tracks of the New
York Central to Cincinnati, and from
there over the Louisville and Nashville
to New Orleans. which will be reached
Monday noon. 1t is expected that about
2,5o0 delegates will be assembled.
The bankers were here in 1905, and Il is
not believed they will decide to return
to Washington in 1912, though the local
chapter is more than willing to provide
entertainment for them IL they decide
to come.
Following a four-day session in New
Orleans, the big reature of the trip will
begin, a two weeks trip through the Pan
anna Canal on four new ships or the
United Fruit Company. recently built for
the South American trade, and Just re-
ceived from the shipyards at Belfast The
bankers will return to New York about
December 9.
