the republican party, choice of which
Will be made here tomorrow by the ma
donal committee, boosters for st. Louis
still were making determined cam
paign and were asserting that they had
a fighting chance to win.
Meantime, discussion as to the date
Of the convention, which also will be
fixed by the committee tomorrow,
centeerd about Tuesday, June 8. The
custom OF convening the convention on
Wednesday, it was predicted by the
leaders, would be changed in order TO
provide longer week.
Selection of time and place for the
convention will conclude the formal
business of the committee meeting, but
most of the hundreds of the party
leaders are expected to stay for the
session Of state chairmen which con-
venes Thursday. Some of them will re-
main until the end of the week, contin-
uing the discussion OF political candi-
dates and policies.
Dozen Candidates in Sight :
With the arrival today of the last
OF those who are to attend the meeting
conferences over presidential possibili-
ties greatly multiplied until the claims
Of upward OF dozen potential candi-
dates were being presented.
Particularly conspicuous were the
friends Of Major General Leonard
Wood and Governor Frank o. Lowden
of Illinois, who brought to Washington
working organizations to further their
respective candidates. Boosters for
Senators Thomas E. Watson of Indiana
and Warren G. Harding Of Ohio also
got actively into the arena
| A novelty of the meeting tomorrow
will be an open session at which the
claims of the cities trying for the con
vention will be presented and speeches
made by several prominent republicans
from scattered parts Of the country
The decision will be made, however, In
executive session. The committee alse
| is expected to formally endorse the
plan of Will H. Hays, the national
chairman, for Limitation of individual
campaign contributions to $1,000.
| Many editors of republican newspa-
pers were here and five Of the six for
mer chairmen of the national commit
| tee had come in response to an invita-
| tion of Chairman Hays to lend theil
counsels In the formulation of 1925
plans. Tonight the committeeman ant
state chairmen were guests at dinner
given by the executive committee o.
the woman's division.
