POLITICS PLAYED
BY ILLINOIS SUFFS

Chicago. Nov 11.--Firty-two women,
who will represent Illinois at the Ma
tional American Suffrage association,
will leave tonight for Nashville, their
names known only to the members
of the board of directors, who secret
ly appointed them yesterday. Each
delegate has been notified but none
knows who will sit beside her in the
convention.
When the train reaches Nashville
Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout, president of
the Illinois association, will present
their names to the credentials com
mittee. SThere will be little time for
the opponents of Mrs. Trout, who
vigorously protested against her re-
CINE at the recent state convention,
ito prepare cases against the delegates
if they are not satisfactory.
The precautions are taken because
of the fight over delegates which took
place at the state meeting.
