COP. CONGRESSMEN
PACKING THEIR BAGS
Great Exodus for Chicago to Be-
gin Tomorrow Afternoon
After Navy Bill Vote. :

The Republicans OF Congress are
packing their suitcsses and travelling
bags today.
The great exodus from Washington
will begin tomorrow afternoon-within
an hour after the House votes on the
naval appropriation bill.
Chicago Is the objective point of the
-takers-Chicsgo where the Presi-
dental booms fiourifh and fade. where
politicians from the four corners of
the country are gathered for the quad
rennial political classic, and where can
didates. managers. delegates, dopesters,
curiosity seekers, drum majors. and
bandmasters will nave their habitat for
the next week.
II Is probable that a quorum of the
House may be assembled in Chicago by
Monday. The advai ce guard will leave
about o'clock tomorrow night, and a
PIX delegation OF Republicans, including
on Saturday.
Some Just Want Excitement.
Some of these members are going TO
the convention just for the excitement
OF the thing.
Others are more or less closely related
to the various booms in that city at
this time.
Still others. and theyy belong To the
testproof Old Guard, are said to be Chi
cago-bound to head OF a Roosevelt
One Of the interesting stories about
the Capitol today IL that many members
OF Congress have received instructions
from the Old Guard leaders TO do every
thing In their power TO prevent n
Roosevelt stampede.
II Is figured that n Republican mem

of influence with the delegates from
his own state.
Word has come to the Old Guard that
,ieorgn von L. Meyer and his associates
pehind the Roosevelt boom have been
flooding the country with kilograms
seeking to have the delegates see the
wisdom OF nominating tire Colonel.
There Is always a lurking fear In the
heart OF an Old Guardoruan that the
delegates might do that very thing.
Distress Signal Out.
Consequently, the report goes. the
distress signal has been passed along
TO the regular" Republicans in the
House. and they have been advised
to get out to Chicago. and see what
can be done to prevent anything that
looks like stampede to the Colonel.
As soon az these Republican legisla-
tors arrive they are expected to look
over the situation. get next to the ear
of delegate from tho respective leg
is!ator,s own state, and impress upon
that delegate the necessity OF stand
Ing hitched, no matter how the Roose-
welt storm may rage about him
Outside of the mission of some of the
Old Guard members of tine Senate and
House they were determined to 70 to
Chicago anyway. 1t appears ver, few
Republicans want to miss seeing the
Chicago scrap.
Not within twenty-five years has there
been quite SO much uncertainty as to
what a convention may do. The stntes-
men who will leave Washington tcmor-
row and next day go to Chicago with
Tho expectation Of receiving one thrill
per minute. They'll be disappointed
unless they get II.
Gentlemen's Agreement.
A gentleman's agreement not to call
up important legislation will be opera
tive both in the Senate and House while
the attendance in those cities Is lower

compromise with him. they must not
be expected to surrender.

Takes Novel Stand.

Colonel Roosevelt really Ia an ardent
pacifist. according to a leading editorial

On the basis OF the Colonei's Detroit
speech. the writer calls him a brother
pacifist. and SO addresses him. bidding
him welcome" The hope is expressed
that ere long the few points OF differ
ence that make him still seem antagon-
istic to the cause OF peace will be swept
away and that then he will learn to do
Justice to the rest of us pacifsts.'
The writer concludes: I'VE repeat,

Washington. when he reached Fai-
mouth on his way to Germany, have
been turned over to the American
embassy for transmission to the State
Department. They show that Capt
Won Papen made frequent payments TO
persons charged with the responsible
ity for blowing up munitions works
and bridges ia the United States.
One entry shows that Capt. Won Pa
pen gave $100 to Werner Horn, who
was arrested in connection with the
blowing I'D Of a Canadian Pacific rail-
way bridge at st. CrOiX, Me. The day
before this check was issued the Ger
man embassy paid $4,000 into Capt.
Won Papen's account.
Among the letters taken from Capt.
Won Papen there is little of interest,
with the exception of a letter from
the German consul at New Orleans
candoling with him on his recall from
Washington and criticising severely
the attitude OF the American govern
ment.
