that for that reason no convention was

The call, issued by Senators Wads.

terday, for a conference at Saratoga,
has resulted in forcing Mr.. Glynn to
change his mind again and to bring
about meeting of the state commit

convention. This result, while not due
to any effort on my part, is more than
satisfactory to me. There will be a
convention; there will be a platform,
and that platform may. or may not ap-

there is power greater than theirs.
They have been forced by public senti-

Society Unaffected
By Submarine Scare
Social Register Reveals Interest
ing Facts Regarding Sum
mer Plans

Many interesting facts regarding the
plans of society this summer are re-
vealed by the Summer Social Register" ;"
just issued. 1t shows that despite the
submarine scare of month ago the
war has had less effect on the seashore
resorts than was the case in the Span
lsh-American War. In that year sea-
shore cottages went begging in June,
but this year the Register" shows that
the coast resorts relatively have gained
on the inland places.
Ihere is falling off in the occu-
pancy OF country residences, doubtless
because many families are keeping
their city homes open during the sum
mer for Red Cross and canteen activi-
ties. There are 1896 families at the
seashore, compared with 1880 last
year, and 6,081 living inland. compared
with 7,177 last year. The Maine coast
resorts lead with 1.010. compared with
965 last year The popular inland re-
sorts are Lenox, the Adirondacks, Cam
ada, Bernardsville and the Morristown
section of New Jersey
More families are abroad this year,
1870, compared with 1865 last year The
arrivals and departures from Europe
and the names of yachts are not men
toned, Tor war reasons. The "Register'
indicates the rank of 949 in the ser
vice, of which approximately SAT are

Resolution Calls Upon All
Candidates to Support
National Amendment
Committee Is Formed
Miss Mary Garrett Hay De-
nounces Opponents as
"Mental Fossils"

The Woman Suffrage party will en-
ter the fall election campaign with the
following question to all candidates
for office:
Ill you support the government
to the utmost in its prosecution of
the war;"
Are you in favor of woman suf-
frage? Will you support in every
possible way the Federal suffrage
amcndment?"
The suhragists threw their toqucs
into the political arena yesterday at
their monthly committee meeting held
at the headquarters, at West Thirty
eighth Street. Miss Mary Garrett Hay,
Chairman of the party, has just re-
turned from Washington, furious over
the failure Of the Senate to pass the
woman suffrage amendment last
Thursday, and determined to inject
suffrage into the political campaign
In accordance with the policy of the
National Woman Suffrage Association
decided upon last winter, for use in
case the Federal amendment should not
have been passed before election
Political Committee Formed
The resolution adopted yesterday
follows:
"Resolved, that as an organization
the Woman Suffrage party of New
York City will in the fall elections
oppose all state and Federal candi-
dates who do not pledge themselves
q ho
ratification of the Federal suffrage
Amendment"
political committee has been
formed, with Mrs. David Clark Balch
as chairman, who will interview candi-
oates and spread the results of the
Investigation among the women voters.
Miss Hay declared any man not for
woman suffrage was mental fossil u
and not worthy to hold public office,
no matter how impressive his claims
to craftsmanship.
"To our minds" she said, "a man
who in this day and generation is not
convinced that woman suffrage is just
and fair is not abreast of the times.
He is mental fossil and should not
hold any office under our government.
Conditions Constantly Changing
The principles underlying woman
suffrage go to the very roots of
democracy. A nation that is fighting
tor democracy abroad must be true to
1t at home. Conditions under which
we live are constantly changing. 1t
is not enough that candidate be
honest and reliable. He also must be
patriotic and have the power of quick
adjustment to new needs A man
progressive and patriotic enough to be
suffragist is usually of this type.
We are therefore determined to sup
port the progressive kind of candidate
and to oppose as strongly as we can
the man who clings to obsolete ideas"
lnasmuch as the Federal amendment
has already passed the House of
representatives, and is now before the
Senate, the elections in New York can
have little direct influence upon the
vote in the Senate, but they can exert
great indirect influence by making
the Federal amendment talked about in
the campaign.

The Tribune Fresh Air Fund

Three hundred children were sent
to the country by The Tribune Fresh
Air Fund yesterday afternoon. Thcy
went out in four partics-thrce to
Central Connecticut and one to Vest
chester County.
t was raining AS the youngsters
gathered at the railroad stations, but
that didn't dampcn their spirits.
They were off for what one bow de-
scrlbed as "merry go round" Of a
ume' and the merry -go-round and the
barrel organ started in their hearts
as soon AS they left their homes.
The party for Westchester County
was the largest Of the four, compris-
ing one hundred and fifty girls. They
slept last night at Ashford Hill, the
fund's vacation place at Ardsley. N.
!. And there they arc to sleep by
"'ght and play by day for the next
TWO weeks. To-day one hundred and
Seventy-ilvc of their brothers are to
loin them in making the mcrry-go
round hum.
Three Go to Connecticut
The three parties for Connecticut
were the specially invited guests of
aoout one hundred and fifty families
hving IN or near Southington. Plain
vile and Willimantic. Each of the
chl!dren (they were both bows and
glr!s) is to be entertained in a private
home
Just what sort of a time is ahoad
Tor these guests may be Judged from
the attitude Of the persons doing the
entertaining. One of the hosts, who is
chairman OF the entertainment com
mlttee tor her locality, in sending in
her INST Of invitations wrote at the
close of her letter: "Thank Won for
letting the children come to visit this
beautiful part of Connecticut"
The Tribune Fund appealed to this
chairman and her neighbors to co.
operate with it by opening their
homes to the children, and the Of
ncers of the Fund naturally would
feel that if thanks were due. it
"ouid be from the Fund to the hosts
OF the children. But-think of it
the hosts look upon it as a privilege
10 be grateful that the Fund lets the
children "visit that beautiful part of
Connccticut."
Others Would Be Hosts
Another bit Of evidence as to the
kindness and generosity of the country
people toward these little "Fresh Airs"
reached the Office of the Fund yester-
day. 1t was an anonymous letter. To
1t was attached a clipping from Nor
wlch, Conn, newspaper, in which was
related the plans of a committee of that
New-York tribune., 1918-07-02

existing a rollcall should be had" said
Senator Robinson. 81 feel that this is
due to the Republicans of the state and
to the Senators who were in the confer
ence yesterday. Senators Wadsworth
and Calder early saw that a meeting
such as they had called could not be
held if it was decided that the dele
gates were to be chosen by the county
committees, where all that the dele
gates not appointed by the county com
mittees could do would be to talk, and
not vote. Also, l think, from reading
the morning papers, that there was
tation to Colonel Roosevelt and Mr..
Taft. My understanding is that the
state committee has slightly over
stepped the bounds of propriety in in
viting the four leaders,
Colonel Gleason here broke in with ::
"Mr. Chairman, desire to inform SEN
ator Robinson that Senator'S Wads-
worth and Calder were asked by me
if they would urge the four leaders
mentioned, and they assented to the
plan to have the state committee in
vite them"
Representative Smell. of Potsdam, one
of the conference committee, waxed in
dignant at the charge by Senator Rob
derstanding whatever, and read the
memorandum of agreement published
in The Tribune yesterday and sub
scribed to by all the conferrees.
Senator Robinson was taken to task
in turn by County Chairman Koenig of
New York and County Chairman Vass
of Kings, both saying that there was
no Misunderstanding on the part of the
Senator's, and that the agreement about
tofn nd hn oil mo
off of the assembly was absolutely
clear.
Bolt Out of Clear Sky
"The proposition to call of the pro
posed assembly came like bolt out Of
clear sky, and was absolutely on the
initiative Of the Senator's" said Rep
resentative Snell to which there was
general nodding of heads by the con
| ferrees.
"The turning point in the whole mat
ter" saidA'Mr. Greiner, Of Erie, was
the realization that there could be but
one convention under the rules of the
organization, and any one who states
the case differently either states a
| falsehood or he is mistaken"
Things were getting hotter for SEN
ator Robinson all the time, but he was
cool and courteous through it all, and
made the best showing possible with a
losing cause. He said that he based
his remarks on what senator Wads-
worth told him and on the reports in
the morning papers.
Senator Sage, q Barnes lieutenant,
here took up the battle.
1.-THE state committee" said he, "had
every chance to call a convention, and
did not do so. The two United States
Senators, feeling it necessary to do
something if there was to be a conven-
ton, called the assembly because the
state committee had not acted"
"The state committee had to call a
convention under the rules" inter
rupted Mr.. Greiner.
Not Too Late to Elect Delegates
"Now, of course, it is too late to
elect delegates to the state conven-
tion," continued Senator Sage.
''It is not too late to elect dele
gates under the rules of the state con-
vention of 1914, and the rules were

ENGL 18Th MAY Be
LANGUAGE USED
At PEACE TABLE
French, Long Recognized As
Medium Of Diplomacy, May
Be Replaced by Tongue of
America and England
tsv MORNING. .ovss.. SPECIAL LEASED w.sl

Paris, Nov. 81 Chy The Associated
Press. THE question of conducting
the proceedings of the peace congress
in English is being discussed, with
some prospect that this innovation
will be brought about. If it is, it will
be the first great international con-
gress with English as the Official
language, as French has long been
recognized as the medium of diplo-
macy.
For practical reasons, it is said, the
use Of the English language would be
more convenient to n larger number of
delegates than French, for during the
sessions of the inter-allied conference
all hut two of the delegates spoke
English, whereas a considerable NUM-
Der did not speak French and were
unable to understand the proceedings
when French was used.
The printed record of the daily pro-
ceedings will be in both French and
English for the convenience of all, and,
in addition, several of the governments
probably will have their own pubiCa-
tons, dealing with the Developments.
Economic questions are coming
prominently TO the front in connection
with the presence here of Herbert c.
Hoover, the American food adminlStra-
tor, who was joined today by Edward
N. Hurley, chairman of the shipping
board. They conferred lengthily this
afternoon at Colonel Houses residence
on food distribution and tonnage.

of tonnage for the rehabilitation of her

and through enforced inactivity of her

Austin. Tex, Nov. 27.-NotWlth-
standing that the court of criminal APP
