LOOK TO WASHINGTON
American Economic Ass0cia-
tion May Convene Here.
INVITATION IS ANSWERED
Granville N. Hunt, Chairman of
Conventions Committee of Cham her
of Commerce, Receives Letter.
Progress OF WashinEton a. . Con-
vention City Shown.

| According to a letter received yesterday
| from r. NJ. Carver. secretary and treas
urer of Harvard University, Granville NJ.
Hunt, chairman of the conventions COM
mittee Of the Chamber Of Commerce, has
good reason to believe that the meeting
of the American Economic Association
will be held this year in Washington.
Mr.. Carver says that the association
is not pledged to any other city, and that
it is now highly probable that Washing
ton will be selected. The letter was in
answer to an invitation recently extended
through Mr.. Hunts committee. and the
consideration that the invitation has al
ready received is encouraging.
The active work that the conventions
committee is doing has evidently reached
the ears Of business organizations in 9TH
er cities. which are inclined to press
their claims for consideration as good
convention towns.
Result of Advertising.
Recently the Business Mems Associa-
ton. of Memphis, Tenn, sent to the
Chamber Of Commerce a long night tele-
gram challenging the business men OF
this city to measure the commercial and
industrial importance of Washington
with Memphis. No action was taken on
the question further than to advise the
senders that the entertainment of con-
ventions was just now SO heavy a duty
on Washington business men that fur
ther consideration of the challenge must
be deferred.
This challenge was followed up by a
second, addressed to the Commissioners
of the District, asking that the relative
social. educational, and intellectual ad-
vantases of the cities be compared. The
Commissioners yesterday referred this
challenge to the Chamber of Commerce
for such action as it may deem advisable
''All OF which, says Thomas +. Grant.
secretary Of the Chamber. goes to show
that the advertising that the business
men of Washington are doing is both far
reaching and effective"
