At Mayor Thompson's Office 1t was
announced he had left no word about
the peace meeting and that he was
not expected to leave his Lake Forest
home today. 1t was said that he had
a golf engagement. -
What had been chaos was quickly
resolved into order with the arrival
of Lewis P. Iochner, executive secre-
tary of the council. Mr.. LOchner met
the eastern delegates Immediately and
without delay the delegates, who in
cluded the organizing committee
charged with the duty of perfecting
permanent organization and their
friends and supporters had gone to
the West Side Auditorium.
Big signs, printed in Hebrew. con-
veyed the information that the hall
was the meeting place of the various
Jewish lodges and other organiza-
tiOns.
The scene was in marked contrast
to the excitement caused in Hudson,
Wis, by Mr.. LOchner's visit there.
There were few persons on the streets
and these were going about their bus
mess. They did not know what in
some quarters had been termed sedi-
tious organization was about to be
formed.
The delegates seemed surprised at
the Indifference Of the public. The
meeting was originally designed to lay
plans for the future, but in the ao-
sence OF an opposition, it was decided
to go ahead with the meeting.
