WOMEN DEBATE CANDIDATES
Fortunes Of Wilson and Hughes Con-
cerned in the Convention Of the
Suffrage Association.

Atlantic City, n. j., Sept. 6.-The
fortunes of Hughes and Wilson in the
present campaign are intimately in
volved in the convention of the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage as
ISOLATION, which started here today
with fifteen hundred women in at
tendance.
This afternoon a three-cornered de-
bate began on the comparative merits
Of the plans to work only for suf-
frage amendment to the Constitution,
or only for state amendments, or for
both simultaneously.
This association has always been
politically nonpartisan. The formation
of the new Womans party and Hughes
Endorsement Of q federal amendment
for woman suffrage have complicated
matters. For this reason the conven-
ton, the forty-eighth annual meeting
Of the sort, Is being held two months
earlier in the year than usual
The Southern states are said to be
strong for the state method of obtain
ing votes for women, while several
Northern associations are in favor Of
abandoning all state work to cOncen-
trate effort on obtaining national
amendment.
