Hitchcock Interview.

In an interview given to the press today
Frank Hitchcock said
The concerted attack the managers
and publicity agents of certain candidates
are making on those of us who favor the
nomination of Justice Hughes only serves
to show how formidable they consider
the movement in his behalf Against this
attack We make no complaint. because
messages we are receiving from ali parts
of the country indicate that it is helping
rather than hurting the cause in which
we are interested"
Asked if he had declared that Hughes
would accept the nomination if rendered
Mr. Hitchcock insisted that he had made
no such statement

Situation in Ohio.

Burton headquarters gives out an in
terview with Arthur l. Vorys, the
former Taft manager:
ohio has just emerged from eight
years of democratic control We can
not afford to take chance this year
of slipping backward. Burton can
carry Ohio against any man in the
United States His nomination would
absolutely insure the electoral vote
of the Buck eye state. 1t would insure
the carrying of New York. Indiana, IL

republican party take A chance this
year with a nominee who cannot be
sure of winning the states we must
have? I do not believe it will, for
am confident that Senator Burton will
be named as its standard bearer"

Complains "Slickest Thing in
Trousers 1nveigles Farmers

The slickest thing in trousers" was
ofhcIally described by Mrs. Christine
Frederick. an expert in household eff
cheney, before the House committee on
interstate and foreign commerce today,
this paragon of male persuasiveness
being the city salesman who visits the
rural districts with a patent washing
machine According to Mrs Frederick,
the slickest thing in trousers wears a
derby hat and a bow tie. and inveigles
$40 of egg money from the farmers
wife in return for worthless con-
traption said to be able to do a weeks
wash in eight minutes. In reality it is
a piece of junk, not worth cents.
This vivid description was used by
Mrs. Frederick as a part of her argu-
ment in favor of the Stephens bill to
present price cutting on trade marked
goods. Her argument was entirely in
favor of branded. standard. guaranteed
goods, behind which the manufacturer
stands and which can he bought with
out fear of being cheated. She gave a
fearful black eye to the private brands
of canned goods which have no manu-
facturers address or guarantee, and
declared in effect that the pure food
laws have not been able to cover all
the evils which result in the practice
of certain dealers in selling private
brands of commodities in place of
standard brands.

PRESIDENT SEES DOREMUS.
HAPGOOD AND TAGGART
Mr.. Wilson to Devote Much Time to
Politics From Now Until
Democrats Meet.

Plans for the democratic convention
at St Louis were discussed with Presi
dent Wilson today by Representative
Doremus of Michigan, chairman of the
democratic congressional committee
Norman Hapgood. an organizer of the
Wilson Non partisan League, and Sem
ator Tassart of Indiana. Between now
and the ST, Louis convention the Pres
ident expects to devote much of his
time to politics.
Selection of the permanent chairman
of the convention was one of the sub
jects discussed at the White House to-
day. Speaker Champ Clark was the
first choice of the President. but it
seems certain now that Mr. Clark will
not go to st. Louis. Senator James of
Kentucky and Senator Kern of In
diana are among the men who have
been suggested for the post in case

Urges Report on Measure.

Prof. Paul Nystrom, an economist
formerly connected with the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin and latterly engaged
IN private research work, was the
principal witness yesterday for the score
or more of business organizations as
sembled to urge the report of the meas
ure. Prof. Nystrom declared that price
cutting on standard articles of trade
is one of the greatest influences toward
the creation of trade friction, and that
the price cutter invariably is his own
worst enemy. His views met with OPP
position from a number of members
of the committee, but he seemed to be
strongly upheld by Representative
Nlnslow of Massa chusetts and Repre-
sentative Esch of Wisconsin,

Marshall's Friends Confident.

While friends of Vice President Mar
shall believe there is no doubt that he
will be renomnated. they are not urg-
ing the President to take a stand on
the question. because of possible en-
Sarrassments due to the fact that there
,are other candidates, notably Gov.
Mai or of Missouri.
The plan at the convention is for
Alabama to give way TO New Jersey
when the roll is called for the nomina-
.tion of presidential candidates, In order
that Jhon w. Wescott. who has been
selected by Mr.. Wilson to nominate
him. may make his speech.
The politicians in the administration
say that no choices have been made
vet of the chairmen of the important
committees of the convention, and
that no final selections will be made
until the delegates get to st. Louis.
Particular care will be made in choos-
ing the chairman of the platform COM
mittee, although the principal planks
will be written before the convention
meets.
Mr.. Doremus said today that the
congressional committee would not be-
gin an active campaign for the cleo
ton of a democratic Congress In No
vember until after the convention. At
present it is only sending out litera-
ture, he said.

and magnificence the costumes and
decors for this ballet have never
been CQuallcd. and it is considered the
masterpiece of Leon Bakst, the great
painter. The story relates in vivid
pantomime what happens when the
Schah Heman quits his harem. The

action ends rather unhappily for the

second in the list of sensations is the
famous "L'Apres Midi dun Faune",
which, altho it was given few per-
formances last year, has never been
seen with Waslav Niiinsky in the
leading role. II was the great premier

Debussys wild music, and he was
incensed last year when it was pro-

of the part spiritual and mental, and
necessarily since he conceived the
dance, no one can portray the part

capitals, and its presentation In New
York last year was signalized by the
drastic attention of the police. OF
the episode there Is practically no
story. II Is rather an animated deco

figure. The unearthly haunting
strains of Debussy guide the action of
