WASHINGTON, June 27.-Peace, for

Nsw York State Republicans to discuss
? ;.sues. seems likely to follow from the

Whitman faction at q conference here
to-day.
Chairman Glynn OF the Republican
State Committee and Secretary Glea-
son came TO Washington to-day and

that there would be q convention.
When Messrs. Glynn and Gleason

saturday, to indorse the idea of hav-
ine the assembly" and the convention
merged into one, leaving the details

tons.

State Chairman George A Glynn on
his return from Washington last night
at late hour said:
"Mr. Gleason and I had neighborly
talk with the Senators, who seemed

Music
Charming Programme by the
Duncans and Copeland
at Carnegie
By Haywood Broun

The Isadora Duncan Dancers and
George Copeland gave a thrilling per-
formance at Carnegie Hall last night
before large audience. The per-
formance moved swiftly to climax,
ending with an exciting rally in
Schubert's "Marche Militaire.'
Of the Copeland numbers Debussy's
"Faun" and Chabrier's "Espana" stood
out, perhaps. Mr.. Copeland kept the
shadows billowing up through the De-
bussy's piece like silk scarf in Dun
can dance. The Spanish number was a
line, siashing show piece, overflowing
in volume and melody. The piano
seemed to. suggest music coming from
all sides of great square, with bands
here and guitars there and singing
serenader or two. Yet despite the
difference in the mood of the two
pieces the underlying cause OF their
brllllancy was perhaps the same. In
each the marvellous pedalling Of MI.
Copeland was the secret of the mys-
teries.
Of the ensemble dance numbers the
most successful was the third waltz in
the Florent Schmitt suite. The Marche
Militaire, as usual, drew the most ap-
plause, but the Duncan girls have
danced it better. Anna's Interpretation
of Chopn's "Valse No. II" seemed to
US the most distinctive of the solo
dances. Since competition is not inim-
lcal to art, it may do no harm to hazard
the opinion that Anna is just a little
better than any of her companions
Lisa and, perhaps, Irma are also. this
tledown. but Anna is bit of down
with just enough self-will to skip even
up against the wind now and again
She OF all the pupils most closely mir
rors Isadora. OF course, not one of
them approaches Isadora in dramatic
sense. Not one is able to build up to
climax as she does, but their youth
and beauty and rare skill combine to
effect ravishing phases of sheer move
ment.
The programme Of dances last night
was alb Chopin with the exception
! Of the Schmitt suite and the Marehe
Militaire. 1t has been reported on
credible authority that before Isadora
went away she left definite instruc-
tions that her pupils should Leave
Chopin alone. She felt that they were
lstill immature for such numbers and
according to the story, threatened to
spank each and every pupil who dared
Chopin in public. But Isadora is fal
away in France and spankings sus-
pended for the duration of the wa,
carry little terror. In fact, the girls
have SO grown apace that it might be
impossible now. The audience was in
no spanking mood last night. Palms
were raised now and again but they
came down against palms. The girls
seemed to sense nothing ominous ir
the sound.
Among the best of the scio dances, ir
addition to the one already mentioned
was "Etude No. 1872 of Chopin, danced
| by Lisa, Therese was good in "Mazurks
No. 49," but occasionally she was toe
conscious OF the rhythm. There was
