WILSON CONFERS
WITH LEADERS ON
CONVENTION PLANS
James or Kern May Be Per
manent Chairman if Clark
Cannot Act.

WASHINGTON. May 31.-Plans for
the Democratic convention at St.
Louis and the ensuing campaign were
discussed by President Wilson to-day
with Representative Doremus Of
Michigan, Chairman OF the Demo-
cratic Congressional COMMITTEES; Nor
man Hapgood, an organizer OF the
Wilson Partisan League, and
Senator Taggart of Indiana. Between
now and convention time the Presi-
dknt Is expected to devote much at
tention TO politics.
Selection Of a permanent Conven-
tion Chairman was discussed. Speak
er Champ Clark was the first choice
Of the President. but 1t now seems
that MIR. Clark may not go to st.
Louis. Senator James of Kentucky
and Senator Kern Of Indiana are
among those suggested for the place
in case the Speaker finally declines.
While friends Of Vice President Mar
shall believe there is no doubt that
he will be renominated, they are not
urging the President to take stand
on the question, because there arc
other candidates. notably Gov. Major
Of Missouri.
The plan Of the Convention man
ayers is to have Alabama give way to
New Jersey, when the roll Is called
for the nomination OF Presidential
candidates. SO that John w. West
colt, who has been selected by Presi-
dent Wilson to nominate him. may
Immediately make his speech. A mo-
ton to close nominations then would
be in order.
