PACT IS CHARGED
IN D. A. R. POLITICS
Alleged That Mrs. Byran's Can
didacy Is Really in Interests
of Mrs. Story.

Friends of Mrs. John Miller Horton
today declared that the candidacy Of
Mrs. Charles B. Bryan, of Tennessee,
for president general of the D. A. r,
is really a move in behalf of Mrs
William Cumming Story, of New
York, and that Mrs. Story and Mrs.
Bryan have a secret understanding
whereby Mrs. Bryan is to throw her
votes to Mrs. story after the first
ballot
The statement was vigorously denied
both at the headquarters of Mrs.
Bryan and Mrs. Story. Mrs. Bryan
announced as before that she is in
the race to stay. Friends of Mrs.
Story characterized the statement as
Just another desperate effort on the
part Of a losing cause to bolster up
its followers. Mrs. Story has votes to
spare whether Mrs. Bryan stays in
the race or withdraws. 1t is all over
10. Inc shouting"
The statement from the friends OF
Mrs. Horton is given with consider
able detail and il includes a charge
that Mrs. Story has made a pact with
MIS-. Bryan relative to two years
hence. The idea is that Mrs. Story. IL
elected. will net seek reelection as
customary, but will use her influence
"Maliciously false is the reply Of
the Storyites to this.
Today saw a resumption of overlap
ping claims as to delegates, Mrs Hor-
tons friends gave out an official state
ment that she has safe atority in
New York" Mrs Storys headquarters
replied to this that Mrs. Story has
nine-tenths of the votes from New York,
and this is 50 well known that the other
statement is absurd"
From sources friendly to Mrs. Hor-
ton came the following statement rela-
tive to D. A. r. politics in Virginia and
Maryland:
Interesting developments in D. A. r.
politics have been going on in Virginia
Of late. The state regent, Mrs. Samuel
w. Jamison. of Roanoke, previously had
indorsed Mrs. Bryan, but when Mrs
Bryan deserted the administration and
allied herself with Mrs. Hory, Mrs.
Jamison. always a sturdy administra-
tion supporter, transferred her support
to Mrs. Horton. Mrs. Jamison sent
out letters to all chapter regents In
Virginia asking support for Mrs. Hor-
ton. Mrs. Horton recently was enter
tained at the luncheon of Common
wealth chapter of Richmond, and was
indorsed by Commonwealth chapter, and
the regents Of several other chapters
attending.

port OF two-thirds of the Maryland
