SELECT TREASURER
In WILSON CAMPAIGN
SUBJECT TO WOODROW WILSON'S
APPROVAL, NEW YORK REAL
ESTATE MAN LIKELY.

NEW YORK, Special-The selec-
ton of a treasurer of the Democratic
national campaign committee has
been put squarely up to Chairman
William +. McCombs, who will name
the man, subject TO the approval OF
the party's standard-bearer, Woodrow
Wilson.l
This Ntatement was made at the
committees headquarters this after
noon by Committeeman Josephus
Daniels. of North Carolina
Mr.. Daniels said Chairman Nc
Combs had not passed upon any man
for the place yet, but he understood
that Henry Morgenthau, a wealthy
real estate dealer of this city, was
being faVorably considered.
The campaign committee today is

civil appropriation bill and lasted until
such a late hour that the naval bill
was allowed to go over. 1t is likely
that Representative Lemuel p Pad
House Naval Committee. will call that
measure up today and officially report
the fact that the House ana Senate
conferees have been unable to agree
on the battleship question.
The House will then probably send
the conferees back with instructions
to make another formal stand against
the two -battleship amendment of the
Senate.
The understanding will be that the
Democratic caucus viii be held before
the conferees make another report
and that the Senate will not yield in
the meantime.
Caucus TO Release Pledges.
The scheme to hold another caucus
ana settle the matter there either by
a complete victory for the two-bat-
tleship men or by n compromise on
one battleship will prevent a lot of
trouble. for the thirty Democrats who
have pledged themselves to vote for
two battleships under any circum-
stances. No man likes to be called a
"bolter," and these men, through their
patriotism and belief in an ADEQUATE
navy, would lay themselves open to
that charge unless the caucus releases
them.
Among the hundreds Of letters re-
ceiveo by Representative Sulzer, COM
mending the campaign for two bat
tleships, there came one yesterday
from Mrs. Lillian Pike Roome, of 14I9
Clifton Street. this city, a daughter of
the late General Albert Pike. Mrs.
Roome said that her father was a
firm believer in the Monroe doctrine
and in the necessity for an efficient
army and a powerful navy.
1t seems to be the opinion that this
is matter of deep concern only to
those living near the exposed places
on the coasts" said Mrs. Roome in her

Danger to the Nation.
Can anyone doubt that the destruc-
ton of New York city would be an al
most irretrievable disaster TO every
other section of the country, so far
reaching would be its effects? So many
and varied are the interests, financial,
political and social, which would be
affected by any fluctuations of this
great banking center that there is no
spot, however insignificant or remote,
that would not have some share in the
injury. And there would be "A similar
disturbance, though in a lesser degree,
notably the Capital CITY. am

would undoubtedly make an effort, and
very likely a successful one, in case OF
war, to loot our treasury and carry
