MAY SOON ANNOUNCE
INAUGURAL CHAIRMAN
Vance, cCormick Expected to Make
Known Selection Not Later
Than Thursday.

1t is now expected the inaugural
| chairman will be named next Thursday.
Vance Mccormick. the democratic
national chairman. to whom the ap-
pointnent has been delegated by
| President Wilson, expects to be in
Washington Wednesday for a confer
ence at the White House. Close asso-
| ciates of Mr. Mccormick said last night,
both here and in New York, that they
thought the inaugural chairman would
be named following that conference.
Those who have been in closest as
sociation with Mr.. Mccormick through
out the campaign and since the close
of the campaign stated positively that
the name of Robert N. Harper, presi-
dent of the District National Bank, is
the inaugural honor.
Delay Is Explained.
Though Washington business men
have been eager to see the inaugural
chairman named so that plans could
go forward for the inaugural celebra-
ton, including the ball, If possible, 1t
was poipted out by administration
leaders and those who have been as
sociated with Mr.. Mccormick in the
campaign that other matters concern
ing the closing of national headquar-
tiers have caused the delay.
President Wilson had been too much
engrossed with important affairs of
state, it is explained. to pay any atten-
ton to plans for the festivities here in
March The campaign closed with a
deficit of 100000, which Mr. McCor-
mick has been mostly concerned in
ltquidating. In addition to this the
national chairman has for some months
been neglecting his personal affairs in
Harrisburg anu has been forced to give
some little attention to them during
the last two weeks.

Home at Berwyn Entered.

After a cessation of activities for
few weeks, robbers are again busy In
the upper section Of Prince Georges
county. One of the boldest robberies
that have ever been executed in this
vicinity occurred this morning be-
tween 10 and II o'clock. when the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick Weber,
on the -Washington-Baltim boule-
ward, at Berwyn, was entered through
a side window. According to the po-
lice. Mr.. and Mrs. Weber went into
Washington about 9 o'clock. They
took their colored hired man with
them as far as Riverdale, where they
left him to attend to some business.
The colored man returned to the house
shortly after II o'clock and found
things strewn all over the place. He
summoned the police. Investigation
revealed a small iron bank. containing
about $40. a searchlight and numerous
other articles missing. About 1928 in
bills and several hundred dollars
worth of jewelry in a sideboard In Mrs
Weber's bedroom were overlooked. The
authorities tonight are without single
clue that would lead to the identity of the
robber or robbers.
