WILCOX CHEERFUL
AT CUSTER THREAT
Chairman Of G. q. p. National
Committee Disrcgards
Talk Of Fight.

81 am more interested to-day In trim
ming a christmas tree for NV kldd.es
than IN ANYTHING else
Tha, was the cheerful comment ycster-
day OF William X. Wilcox when asked
over tho Telephone concerning the report
from Washington that Representative
I'm of Cp1necti'u ut intended 20 lead a
fight - oust Mr.. Willcox a. chairman NJ
the Republican National Committee. lie
was too happy over that Christmas tree
and the fun the youngsters were getting
OUT OF It to care n rap what the polti-
clans were planning 20 do 10 f',m
Some Of Mr.. WlllcoN's friends made
light of the move against tho chairman.
Several others took III. matter seriously
and intimat,d that they really expected
that a determined effort will be made to
g.t Mr WILCOX out OF the Craftsmanship.
II Is not believed by these men. however.
that John r King. memhcr 81 the Ma
tIonal Committc. from Connecticut, will
be the man put up agairs' Mr. Wilcox.
Mr. k!ug and Mr.. wilcox are warm
friends and Il Is thought Mr. King would
not consent 10 such a step.
MIR Willcox's friends asserted again
Yesterday that Mr.. Wilcox was not 20
blame for the loss ~ california IN the
last Presidential fight. They pointed out
that the detection oi tho rrogrcss.v.s
from Mr.. Hughes was due solely TO In
ira State politics. and nothing that Mr.
Wilcox could have done would have
helped the situation.
