SOON UNDER WAY
Appointment of National
Chairman Wilcox Signal
for the Opening.
EACH OF PARTIES TO HAVE
NEW YORK HEADQUARTERS
Progressives to Aid the Regular Re
publicans in Framing UP and
Conducting Campaign.

With the selection yesterday OF VIII
liam R. Wilcox of New York as chair
man Of the republican national commit
tee, following the previous naming by
the democrats of Vance Mccormick OF
Pennsylvania as their national chair
man. the presidential campaign VIII
soon be under way. Both chafrmen
will have headquarters in New York
city, and there will be branch head
quarters In Chicago.
The selection Of Mr.. Wilcox was not
a surprise. He has long been a close
friend of Candidate Hughes and ac-
companied Mr.. Hughes when the latter
left Washington to take up his resi-
dence in New York. Mr.. Wilcox was
the first chairman Of the public service
commission Of New York under ap-
pintment of Gov. Hughes. President
Roosevelt appointed him postmaster OF
New York city. and he served from
1905 to 1907. He is a friend of Col
Roosevelt, and his neighbor at Oyster
Bay. It is assumed by republicans here
that his appointment as national chair
man will be satisfactory to the pro-
gressive republicans. Mr.. Wilcox is a
lawyer. f1fty-three years of age. and is
well known to politicians in New York
state.

that in the determination of important
questions arising in the campaign the
progressives will be consulted as freely
as the men hitherto affiliated with

In republican circles emphasis is laid
upon the statement that no occasion
will be offered for the suggestion that
the direction of the affairs of the re-
publican party In the coming cam
pafgn is monopolized by any faction
or group of men. Attention is called
to the letter of Candidate Hughes to
Col. Roosevelt thanking him for his
support, in which he strongly urged
the colonel to give him all the support
and advice possible.
