DEMOCRATS TO HOLD
 STATE CONVENTION
New Workers Are Certain to IndOrse
 President Woodrow Wilson

Albany, N. Y.. February 2o.-Legisla- tive activities will be suspended tenn porarily next week when the demo- crats of the state hold their conven- tion at Syracuse to name the organiza- tion's candidates for delegates at large to the St. Louis convention. Demo- cratic leaders of the legislature pre- dict a harmonious convention. The programme calls for the selection of former Governor Martin H. Glynn both as temporary and permanent chair man, the nomination of the "big four for the national convention and as much of an indorsement of the Wilson administration as the Presidents sup porters desire. Outspoken sentiment on the part of Tammany Hall leaders to withhold unqualified indorsement of President Wilson pending the an nouncement of the name of the next postmaster of New York has virtually vanished and it is freely prophesied at the capitol that the conventions ap- proval of MT. Wilson will be un- bounded
 Those most prominently mentioned for delegates at large include United States Senator OGorman, Edgar M. Cullen, former chief judge of the court of appeals; William Church Osborne, chairman of the state committee i; George J. Meyer of Buffalo, promi- nent German American supporter of President Wilson; Charles B. Fireman of Ithaca, former superintendent of public works; Seymour Van Santvoord of Troy, chairman of the upstate pub lie service commission, and Samuel Un- termyer of New York
 New York, February 20.-William Church Osborne, chairman of the demo- cratic state committee, announced to- night that former Governor Glynn will act as temporary and permanent chair man of the state conference to be held at Syracuse March 1. Secretary of State Lansing was, asked, Mir Osborne said. to serve as permanent chairman, but de- clined on the ground that his present duties require him to remain aloof from politics.

Just now being somewhat out of the

ease and the marble-corridored apart

from Parks tavern.
The elevator left him at the sixth
floor and slid downward out of sight
The quiet was broken by football
and a maid in blue and white striped
dress appeared. Here at least was a
human being. Jim took off his hat
and bowed. Can you tell me which

So Jim followed the girl with her
busters and armful of clean linen and
knocked at the door where she
stopped. 1t was opened by a good
looking man with palette on his arm
And as the girl disappeared into the
room beyond he turned to Jim. Good
morning" said he pleasantly.
"Are-are you Mr.. Covington?"
yes. Won't you come in and sit
down? Do you smoker" He took some
cigars out Of humidor and held them
out. Jim selected one with a hand
that shook, but made no effort to light
it. He looked nervously around at the
luxurious sitting room, slid the cigar
into his pocket and broke out, I'm
