THE Democratic national conven-
ton of 1912 returns to the city
where the first national conven-
ton of that party assembled
eighty years ago. Up to and includ-
ing 1924 presidential nominations were
made by committees of congress. In
that year the system was attacked,
and between that and 1923 various
conventions were held in different parts
of the country, but no Democratic ma
tiOnal convention, properly speaking,
was assembled till 1882. That year
one gathered at Baltimore and nomi-
mated President Andrew Jackson for a
second term.
The convention which named Martin
Van Buren as JacksOn's successor also
met in Baltimore, but was a year
ahead of time, being held in 1888. The
four succeeding national conventions
of the party were likewise held in the
Maryland metropolis-that Of 1910 re-
nominating Van Buren, that of 1914
naming James X. Polk, that OF lS4S
selecting Lewis Cass and that Of lSo2
choosing Franklin Pierce. Thus far
Baltimore as a Democratic convention
city was lucky, four of the FIVE candl-
dates named there having been elected.
With 1852. however, the scepter ana
the luck departed from Baltimore
Four years later Buchanan was noml-
mated at Cincinnati. In 1860 the Dem
Ocratic convention first met at Charles
ton and split into fragments, two OF
these afterward reassembling in Baltl-
more and naming two tickets one
headed by Stephen A. Douglas and the
other by John c. Breckenridge. A
third fragment reconvened at Rlch-
mOnd and indorsed Breckinridge' Ihls

ONE SET OF FIGURES INDICATE NOMINATION OF WESTcoTT
 AND SAWYER.
Another Set, All Made From Memo randum, Indicate Nomination of
 John Tisdale.

The race for representative in the next legislature is in doubt, and vii be until the official figures are given out by the party organization this afternoon
 It was thought that Sawyer and Westcott, the candidates of the busi ness interests. had been nominated by scant majorities until yesterday when another set of figures came into light
 John Tisdale, one of the candidates who had strong country support kept some tabUlations for himself and according to his figures he had but one vote less than Westcott, with two country precincts to be heard from, which were reasonably certain to give him two to one over Westcott.
 None of the figures are nearly off clal because they were merely made from memorandums, many of them telephoned during rush hours of re- ceiving returns, and there may be a difference of 20 to 100 votes any where along the line.
 Iisdale made strong race in the outlying precincts, and neither l.. E. sawyer, who is prominent in legal circles, nor H. M Westcott who is an active business man, had oppor- tunity to make a campaign, therefore If one or the other is defeated 1t is not so much of a surprise. Their friends and the business interests of the city eampaigned in their behalf as much as could be done with other very important political matters also before them, and if either Of these bad made the campaign there is little loubt but they would have received large maiorties. since they had strong endorsements for votes in the work hat had been laid out for the next egisIative session.

Woman to Re Questioned at Length by Coroner Probing Burlington
 Train Wreck.

Chicago, July 1S.-Discovery today that Mrs. F. A. Wilcox, tower oDerat- or at Western Springs, near where a wreck occurred on the Chicago, Bur- lington and Quincy railroad last Sun day, costing the lives of 13 persons, once was confined in the Cunning asy- lum, caused Coroner Hoffman to sum- mon her for Interrogation tomorrow.
 Mrs. Wilcox will be questioned at length by the coroner, who has an nounced his intention of prolonging the inquiry until blame for the wreck is fixed. More than 50 other railroad employees have been summon ed.
 P. s. Eustis, passenger traffic man. ager of the road, in the day issued statement regarding the report sent to Coroner Hoffman about Mrs. Will COX in which he says:
 s'On May 20, 1911, letter was ad- dressed to the chief dispatcher at Au- rora, informing him that Mrs. Will COX had been in an insane hospital and it was thought she was not right at that time. A company physician made an investigation and reported that Mrs. Wilcox was in normal con- dition, both physically and mentally. He learned that while she was in the hospital at Cunning in 1909, she re- turned in few days, as there seemed to be no occasion for holding her there.''

Detectives Are Still
 Looking For Hennings
The Man Who Filed Suit Against Funk
 Has Disappeared.

Chicago, July 1S.-Failure of the Grand Jury to take action on alleged attack on the reputation of Clarence S. Funk by means of a fictitious dam age suit was explained today hy re- port that Mrs. Josephine Henning, whose affections Funk was accused of alternating, had positively denied mak- ing any damaging statements to Miss Eulalia Kearney, masseuse.
 Miss kearney had testified that Mrs. Henning at different times told her that she was receiving large sums of money for her share in an attack on the reputation of a big business man. The states attorney is also said to be seeking to reconcile other conflicting statements attributed to different wit nesses who have been examined by him and the grand jury.
 He declined to discuss the case, but declared that no grand jury action would be taken today.
 Detectives are still searching for John c. Hennings, who filed the suit for damages against Mr. Funk, and who disappeared just before the de- cree of not guilty was returned by the jury.

WOMEN WILL ASK
 RIGHT TO VOTE
MOVEMENT TO SEND COMMITTEE BEFORE THE LEGISLATURE STARTED AT HOT
 SPRINGS.
Political Equality League Adopts Constitution at Meeting Held in
 That City.

Hot Springs, July 19-When the legislature meets in it's next session it is more than probable that an ef- fort will be made to extend the Women's Suffrage movement in Ark ansas which had its start in Hot Springs.
 This announcement was made to- day by Mrs. James Spargo, president of the Women's s Political Equality League of Hot Springs.
 Mrs. Spargo said at that time the speakers of national fame who have "stumpsd" the country for the movement will be brought to Little Rock ard the addresses delivered by them VII be interesting and instruct i've Among these leaders may be Miss Kate M. Gordon, of New Or leans who is recognized as a splen- did speaker in the cause of Woman's s rights.
 Mrs. Spargo said at the busine ss meeting which was held Wednesday afternoon in the government park only routine business was transact ed. The const tution was adopted. Another meeting will be held the first Wednesday in August when ether matters of importance will be tran n5acted.
 While the league has not taken any definite stand in reference to statewide prohibition ;n Arkansas, Ms. Spargo said as individuals the members are as unit for this ques- ton and it more than likely is that the league may take a definite stand later in the fight
