Republican National Committee; James
4. REYNOLDS. secretary. and Colonel
William T. stone. Of Washington. SER
gesnt-at arms, met yesterday at the
Waldorf TO discuss final plans for the
Republican National Convention. The
question Of how the delegates from
West Virginia could be represented at
the opening day of the convention,
when the primaries at which they are
elected are held on June Is. the day be-
fore convention opens. was considered.
David l.. Elkins, ex-J nited States
Senator from West Virginia, who IS at
tho Waldorf. said yesterday that an
attempt would be made 10 solve the
situation at the state convention on
Nav 4. when. If possible, only one
candidate would be selected from each
district. so that the delegates could 90
20 Chicago without waiting for the re-
turns from the primaries. as their cleo
ton would be assured. Nr. Elklns said
il was difficult to say who the West
Nirpinians favored for the Presidential
nomination. There is n sharp hgnt on
in the state for Governor and local
officers, he said, and the people seem to
have concentrated their attention on
local affairs.
West Virginia has sixteen delegates
10 the national convention. Chairman
Hilles said that II two sets OF candl-
dates were put up for the places the
national committee would probably ar
range TO have them all come 20 Chicago
IN time for the opening Of the conven-
tion and seat those who were success
ful IN the primaries.

note was despatched to Berlin eleven
days ago. 1t was apparent that some.
thing decisive was expected without
much more delay.
Ambassador Gerard's visit to EN-

early decision, since 1t was expected
that the ambassador would clear up
any obscurities OF the position Of the
United States. -is---l--- =:
Secretary Lansing indicated today
that the situation remained un-
changed in the absence Of informa-
