 "T have just formed new partner ship for the practice of law which will become effective May 1. The change will Ipecessitate my devoting substantially all my time to my pro fession. My arrangement, however, will justify my proceeding through to the end of the convention at St. Louis.

 "The Democratic organization is loyal to your policies and purposes. We all feel assured of triumphant result for you and for the party nominees throughout the country in November
 The president replied. in part. as follows:
 q fully appreciate the necessity you feel yourself to be under to- re- sign after the convention shall have been held in June. I know that you would not have reached such deci- sion had not your new business lela- tions made it unavoidable.
 "I do not feel at liberty therefore to urge you to make the sacrifice that a retention of the charmanshlp Ill the circumstances would involve.'
 Mir. Lynch, suggested for the chair manship, is at present chairman of the executive committee of the na- tional committee. and is in active charge of preliminary work for MT. Wilson's renomination. Homer $. cummins of Connecticut, vice chair man of the national committee, and John P. Tumulty, secretary to the pres ident, have also been mentioned as possible successors to Mr. Mc- Combs.
