OSBORN ISSUES HIS CALL.
Democratic state Committee will
Meet ON January 81.

William Church Osborn. State Chair
man. sent out a call yesterday for a
meeting OF the Democratic State Com
mittee at the Hotel Ten Eyck in Albany
at noon on January -. II will be de-
cded at this meeting whether to hold
an unofficial State convention for the
nomination of delegates at large and
alternates to the national convention or
to have them designated by the commit
tee itself for the voters at the primaries
of April I.
Mr. Osborn and others are of the
opinion that much expense and incon-
yenience could be saved by having the
designations made by the committee
There Is no contest in prospect and II
is assumed that any delegate at large
viii be first and last for the renomina-
ton of President Wilson. Mr. Osborn
rather expects to be one OF the big
four" himself.
Should the committee decide to desig-
nate the delegates a resolution indors-
ing the President will be passed a, the
same time. II IL Is decided to hold IA
convention that matter will be left to the
convention. Mr.. Osborn also will lay
.cfore the committee a proposal to ask
the State LEGISLATURE to SO amend the
election law as to make II possible to
elect the national committeeman of both
parties at the April primary. This Is
now done in siN of the States where
there are direct primaries, Under the
arrangement in other States national
committeeman of both parties are Sc
lected by the State delegations to the ma
tional conventions with the approval OF
the convention Itself.
