REASsURlkG NEWS OF STRIKE
SITUATION.
Secretary Tumulty appeared at 10
o'clock with kilograms from Wash
ington that rcassured the President
about the crucial strike situation be-
fore Congress. They told him that
the Senate would pass the eight
hour bill before nigntfal and that
Speaker Clark and tho House were
sticking on the Job. ready to concur
In any small amendments that mignt
be inserted.
These emergency conditions pre-
vented Speaker Clark from leaving
the Capitol to participate o-day In
the ceremonies. Likewise many Sen
ators and Congressman were obliged
to cancel their arrangements, and
there were numerous vacant places
at the luncheon which the President
set for his political supporters.
1t was a strictly political gathering
on the verandas at 1 O'Clock for this
little feast OF nearly two hundred
guests. There were members II the
National Committee. headed by Chair
man Vance Mccormick; members Of
the campaign committees, members
Of the Notification Committee and not
able Democrats OF New York and New
Jersey.
STRONG vEeR OF REPUBLICANS
TO DEMOCRACY.
Many Of the committee men told
the President that there was a distinct
drift of popular sentiment In his
favor. and States that had been al
most conceded to the Republicans
were now swinging into the Demo-
cratic column. Even New Jersey,
which had been considered Republi-
can, now gives strong Democratic
hopes.
Some OF the notables greeted by the
President at the luncheon were:
Martin II. Glynn. former Governor
of New York. and Mrs. Glynn: Sem
ator James II. Reed OF Missouri. Soc
rotary OF state Robert Lansing and
Mrs. Lansing, Henry Morganthau,
former Ambasador 10 Turkey, and
Gov. FIELDER Of New Jersey.
The luncheon was not finished
when outside the barred gates OF
Shadow Lawn groups assembled. On
tho terrace In front OF tho house
thousands OF camp chairs had been
placed for the specially invited
guests. There was room on the vel
vety lawn for twenty thousand
people within sound Of the Presi-
dents voice.
