Tonight, although the thermometer had sunk to degrees at about 10 o'clock from maximum of 15 in mid afternoon, the suffering was not so intense be- cause of a marked let-up in the furious gale which brought the cold wave with it.

 James T. Hunt, business manager of the mission, said he was overwhelmed with applications for help and could ds- slst only a small number, He asked the na stots of many of the leading churches to aid sufferers from the cold.

DENIS. PICKS BALTIMORE
MARYLAND CITY WINS RACE FOR
THE CONVENTION.
Committee Endorses "Permlssive' Prl.
mary Election In Choosing
Delegates.

Washington, ID. C.--The Demo.
cratic national committee completed
It's work with the selection of Balti.
more as the convention city. June 25
was fixed as the date of the national
gathering when candidates for presi'
dent and vice president will be select
ed. The Republican national conven.
ton is to be held in Chicago June Is.
The Democrats adopted a permits
sive" primary resolution in connection
with the call for delegates and such
states as have laws on the subject or
desire to do SO can select their repre-
s~entatives in the national convention
by direct vote. There are 1914 dele
gates to be chosen.
National Chairman Norman E. Mack
vas named to head the subcommittee
on arrangements for the convention.
Vice Chairman Hall of Nebraska and
Secretary Urey Woodson of Kentucky
will be ex-officio members of this sub
committee and there will be seven ad-
ditional members to be named later
by Mr.. Mack.
The primary resolution adopted was
a modification of one proposed by
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon. 1t
was framed by a subcommittee, head
ed by Clark Howell of Georgia, and
was as follows:
THAT in the choice of delegates and
a~lternates to the national Democratic
convention of 1912, the Democratic
state or territorial committees may, II
not otherwise directed by law of such
states or territories, provide for the
direct election of such delegates or
a~lternates il in the opinion of the re-
spective committees it is deemed de-
sirable and possible to do so with
proper and sufficient safeguards.
Where such provision is not made by
the respective committees for the
choice of delegates and alternates and
where the state laws do not provide
specifically the manner of such choice
then the delegates and alternates to
the said national convention shall be
chosen in the manner that governed
the choice of delegates from the re-
spective states and territories to the
last national Democratic convention.
) The Baltimore bid was accompanied
by a certified check for 500, 600. The
date of the convention, June 25, sug-
gested by F. b. Lynch of Minnesota,
was unanimous.
MISUNDERSTANDING an hour after
the announcement was made of the
selection Of Baltimore as the meeting
place for the next Democratic ma
tional convention, requests for reser-
walton of rooms at hotels began to
pour in by telegraph. Representa-
tives of Governor Woodrow Wilson of
New Jersey and Governor Judson c..
Harmon of Ohio engaged rooms late in
the afternoon.
Massachusetts and Vermont were
the first states to secure reservations
for their delegations. Before A O'Clock
a number of leading newspapers
throughout the country had engaged
rooms.
