 ALREADY MANIFEST.

Story, a candidate for the president eneralship, to Mrs Matthew T. Scott, retiring head of the society, urging that steps be taken to insure an election fair to all candidates and a quick denunciation of this action by Mrs. Scott.
 In a statement issued tonight Mrs. Scott said:
 ''I was amazed and shocked beyond words when I was confronted today by two attorneys sent by Mrs Story to demand that l observe the most ele- mentary rules of common honesty and fairness in conducting the forthcoming election
 She added that the implication of this demand was 'gratuitously offen- sive and insulting and that she did not feel it was incum bent upon her to enter into a detailed discussion of the matter.
 Interest was intense tonight in the three-cornered race for the office Of president general of the society," Dele gates gathered from all parts of the country were discussing the latest de- velOp1nent in the already bitter cam paign-the letter sent today by the executive committee to Mrs ScOJL-
 This letter declared that the mem bership of the society was restive un- der fear that the high ideals upon which the society was founded were being to some extent set aside Tor the lesser considerations of political ad- vantage" and urged that steps be talk en to insure fair treatment to each candidate for president-general-
 Forces of the opposing candidates are preparing for final contest, and claims and counter-clairn of instruct ed deaegations are made in each of the headquarters. Mrs. Horton and Mrs Story are making the most active campaigns, but the supporters of Mrs. Charles B Bryan of Memphis are do- ing a god deal of quiet election eering.
 Runaors have been current that Mrs. Bryan intended to withdraw and use her influence with her delegates to bring about the election of one of the other candidates She today set this at rest with the declaration that she twas in the fight to the bitter end"
