McCombs Kept Busy.
Chairman William F. McCombs of the
democratic national committee and
Secretary Joseph Davies were busy
today at the temporary headquarters
Of the committee getting things Into
shape to inaugurate the campaign
here. Permanent headquarters prob
ably will be opened next Tuesday at
33d street and Broadway.
BY a peculiar coincidence the build
ing which may house the Wilson COM
mittee is known as the Wilson build
ing" 1t is related that Secretary Rey-
nolds Of the republican national COM
mittee had made all arrangements to
take this same place for republican
headquarters. and then having learned
the name of the building he changed
his mind.
Secretary Davies left today for
Madison, Wis. his home. and will re-
turn Tuesday. Chairman McCombs
will also be away from the city over
Sunday, and will return Monday to
meet the campaign committee at the
Hotel Knickerbocker. Z.
that Walker Whiting Wick OF Ruther-
ford. N j., would be appointed assist
ant secretary of the democratic ma
tiona1 committee.
One Democratic Handbook.
Instead of the two democratic cam
paign handbooks which 1t has been
customary to issue for the benefit Of
speakers in national campaigns, there
will be but one this fall, and that will
be issued at an early date, 1t was
learned tonight Heretofore the demo-
cratic congressional committee and the
democratic national committee have
each issued a book, but in this cam
paign 1T is proposed to combine the
two.
James p. Lloyd. chairman Of the
democratic congressional committee,
came here from Washington tonight
for a conference regarding the issu-
ance of this book with Josephus
Daniels, democratic national commit
teeman from North Carolina. 1t was
decided that it would be better to turn
the efforts of the two toward making
one compact book, which could be
gotten out in good season.
Mr.. Lloyd returned to Washington
tonight and Mr.. Daniels went TO his
home in Raleigh, N. C. The latter will
return Monday to take up the matter
