NEW YORK, July 2O.-Insisting
that after general exchange OF views
they had found that conditions
throughout the country were far bet
ter than had been believed, and that
the outlook for Republican success at
the polls this fall was good. the sub
committee OF the Republican national
committee resumed its conference to-
day. The committee expected TO be
able to announce today the. members
OF the executive committee which will
run the campaign, and OF the advisory
committee which will help. Both OF
these committees 1t was stated by Ma
tional Chairman Hilles, will be made
up Of militant Republicans who know
bow to conduct winning fight
The committee was in conference
for eight hours yesterday. Chairman
Hilles carefully explained that the
reason for the unusual length OF the
session, and for its running over into
today was because each member had
submitted list of names OF men he
believed were eligible. Each man sug-
sested was taken up individually and
his qualifications discussed at length.
Chairman Hilles held a lengthy con-
ference over his private long-distance
telephone with President Taft In
Washington before the conference was
resumed today. He said that, while
the committee would likely be an
nounced today, he did not think the
name Of the new treasurer would be
made public until the first OF next
week. The treasurer will be New
York man but II was announced posi-
lively that It would be Otto T. Ban.
nard. the local banker. He has declin-
ed because he will not be in this coun.
try until September as he plans to sail
for Europe Tuesday and he believes
the treasurer should get on the
job" Immediately.
