Lakewood, N. j., Dec. 16.-An-
nouncement of the engagement of
Miss Helen Miller Gould of New

remarked that there will be nothing
more except that this engagement is
most pleasing to Mrs. Gould and my
self'

Mr.. BRYAN HELD
LONG CONFERENCE
ALABAMA DEMOCRATS WENT TO
JACKSONVILLE TO SEE
HIM YESTERDAY.
STRONG UNDERWOOD MEN
Col. Horace Wood and Gen. Bibb
Graves of Montgomery, Went to
Urge Underwood for Cabinet-In-
fluence of Bryan Recognized

Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. IA poll
tical caucus that probably means
much TO Oscar Underwood in connec-
tion with a Wilson cabinet appointment
was held in this city yesterday and
attended by degree OF secrecy that
was intended to let nothing slip.
Col. w. J. Bryan and Hon. Edward
F. Goltra of st. Louis, arrived on
the morning train from Miami and
were met by appointment by Col.
Horace Wood and Gen. Bibb Graves,
Of Montgomery, Ala, both noted po-
litical leaders and advisers in their
state Colonel Hood beside being
the editor of the Montgomery Jour
nal is a well-knoWn politician.
Both warm adherents of Oscar I'm
coenition of their great Southern
leader for a portfolio in the new cab
>inet.
General Goltra, who is national ex-
ecutive committeeman for the state
of Missouri, has been in Miami sew
eral days in conference with Colonel
Bryan, and accompanied him to Jack
sonyille, enroute to ST. Louis.
Colonel Bryan left at 7.30 last night
for Winston Salem, n. c., and will go
via Washington to New York. where
he will be guest at the dinner to
Hon. William NJ. Sulzer, governor
elect of New York.
Coloenl Bryan would not admit pub
licly that he is to be in conference
with Governor Wilson in New York,
but it is evident that his arrival in
that city is timed to make connec-
ton with Mr.. Wilson, who will be jim
New York the first of this week.
Bryan's Influence Recognized.
II is a logical conclusion that Col
one Bryan, while not the least being
considered as making up a slate for
President Wilson, still will be con-
suited n the matter, and this is now
borne out by the fact that national
committeeman from all over the coun-
try have been, to Miami to see him
recently, and other men of political
note have seen him also by appoint
ment.
Colonel Bryan had intended max
ing but short stop in this city, and
mis- appointment to meet the Alabama
democrats was for short interview
only, but missing his connection here,
he was forced to lay over until even
ing, and they had the whole after
noon at their disposal to discuss top
les dear to their hearts in politics.
While here Colonel Bryan was the
guest of his cousins, Ex-Governor and
Mrs. W. S. Jennings, at their home
on Main street.
