Lawn Tennis Association, announced to-
day that the date for the annual meeting
of the association had been set for this

The official announcement also was
made that Robert D. Wrenn, president
of the association, had reconsidered his
determination to retire from office. He
has yielded to the pressure of the ex-
ecutive committee to accept another term
it was stated, because it was considered
his influence would be needed during the
coming year in the international compli-
cations. As there is no opposition to
Wrenn it is declared that his acceptance
of the nomination foreshadows his cleo
ton.
The faction opposed to Newport as the
place of holding the national champion
ship tournament expressed the opinion
that the nomination and election of
Wrenn, who is favorable to Newport,
would mean the continuance of the tour
nament at the Casino for another year
at least.
