Hunted by a delegation OF seventy-hve
woman suffragists from New Jersey, many
Senator and Representative performed
strange feats of disappearing yesterday,
but these feats were In vain. One by
one they were run to cover. One oy one
they succun1bed to the, superior cunning
and endurance of their hunters. The New

a coup de main: saw PRESIDENT wilson
without appointment. and chased vener-
ableS statesmen all day all over the city
in taxicabs.
The suffrayists wanted to ask President
Wilson TO advocate in his next message
to Congress the immediate passage Of q
Constitutional amendment enfranchising
women. They met early at woman suf-
frage headquarters Here they were mar
tiaIed by Mrs. 4. F. Feichert. president
Of the New Jersey Suffrage Association,
and Mrs. Minor Van winckle, president
of the woman's Politica, Union Of New
Jersey.
No Word from Mccoy.
Representative Mccoy, Of New Jersey.
had been requested on Saturday to make
ARRANGEMENTS for the audience. He had
gone 10 the White House early, seeking
the appointment through Secretary
Tumulty, Time passed without a word
from Mr.. Mccoy, and then Mrs Van
Winckle and Mrs. Feichert started on
their march for the White House, the
seventy-five would-be voters trailing be-
hind.
Word was finally received that the
President was considering the matter and
would make his decision In few hours.
