mittee, declared that the members of
the national committee who are men,
bers of Congress will be invited to
attend the meeting so that their aid
may be enlisted in the plan of bringing
the convention toWashington.
There are only two members of the
Republican national committee IN Con-

paign to bring the convention here.

and the tifty-odd members Of the Cham
ber of Commerce committee plan to get
an organization at work as soon as pos
sible. At the Saturday meeting the mat
ter will be gone into in detail, and plans
then will be considered for joint cam
paign by the Chamber of Commerce,
the Board of Trade, the Retail Mer-
chants Association and any other Or
ganizations whose aid can be enlisted.
Will Bring Visitors.
"a convention like this will bring
several hundred people to Washington"
said Chairman Dolph today. They
will be representative people from
every State in the Union, and Wash

make in these delegates, and the new
interest in the National Capital that
would be awakened by their visit here"
The Republican national committee at
its meeting here in December will prob
ably issue the call for the convention
and decide upon the apportionment Of
delegates. 1t is believed that there will
