CONVENTION EVERY DAY.
Chicago Counts on $50 to 400 National
Gatherings Next Year

Chicago, Dec. 26-=Chicago faces a
banner year as convention city. Pre-
/ sent indications are that all records
/ will be broken in 1912. Never before
has Chicago's convention prospects
/ been so bright. Bookings already Sc
cured by the Chicago Association of
/ Commerce exceed by far those obtain
ed at the same time in 1910.
/ With this city already selected as
/ the meeting place of the Republican
national convention and strenuous eff
! forts being made to bring the Demo-
/ cratic convention here also, Chicago
will be the center of political activity
from all parts of the country will
! come those interested in national al
fairs
! In addition to bringing the country's
politicians here an effort is being
made to gather to the city repreSen-
tatives of many nationalities- A con
gress of nations" is proposed for some
time in August. This affair, which
probably will last two weeks with a
different nationality represented in
bring enormous crowds. Another
aviation meet also may be held next
year.
George. M. SpangIer, jr.. manager of
the convention bureau committee Of
the Association of Commerce, an
nounces that 142 conventions have al
ready been booked for 1912.
Never before has the number

time" says Mr. Spangler- AT this
time usually not more than seventy
five conventions are booked. From
present indications 1912 will be
banner year for Chicago as a conven-
ton city. Our committee will bring
at least $50 conventions to the city
next year and hope to have 400"
This Year $40.
During 1911 Chicago has enter
tanned 80 conventions and seventy
two supplemental meetings not classed
as conventions. The number of dele
gates and visitors who attended these
conventions was 244.000. Those who
have made study of conventions and
the crowds that attend them figure
that each delegate spends 8 a day in
the city where the meeting is held.
On this basis it is figured that $4,000
600 was spent in Chicago during 1911
by those who attended conventions
here. OF course, some delegates spent
more than others and some kinds OF
conventions draw more liberal spend

hotels. restaurants and retail estab-
Iishments. estimate that So is an aver
age daily expenditure of convention
delegates.
The Republican national convention,
it is estimated, will bring $4,000 Wis
itOrs to Chicago. The Democratic con-
vention is figured as an even better
drawing card. 1t is estimated $4,000 |
persons will come to Chicago, if 1t is /
decided to hold the Dem ocratic con- |
VentiOn here.

1t was explained for the family
that the report concerning the neck
lace had probably come from Sa.
vannah, where there was jealousy
over the fact that the Hulls were for
tunate enough to enjoy foreign lux
uries and finery. AS to the under
valuation charge, Daniel Hull said:
my sister Eliza, was the only one
of the three who had previously been
abroad, SO yesterday my father sent
wireless warning mother and the
girls to be very cautious in making
their declarations. AS to the al
legged undervaluation, the total can
be no more than $3.50, and that was
due to the ignorance of my mother
and sisters, and was done with no
malicious intent.
'iMy sister, Eliza, had a diamond
necklace which she purchased five
years ago in Savannah. A customs
inspector there heard OF this and got
the mistaken impression that she
bought the trinket in Paris and was
bringing 1t with her on this trip. OF
course she had no such jewels"
