represented TO me that | ought to 20,

influential for Massachusetts at the

Women GiUe Aid
TO Republicans
Leaders Gather at Wash-
ington to Watch Con-
ference and TO AdUise
Ne,s York Tribune
Washin0tOn Bureau

WASHINGTON. Dec. 9.-Republican
women from all parts Of the country
arrived here to-day in response to an
invitation from the national executive
committee to watch the conference in
an advisory capacity and see what they
may do some day when they become
full fedged members Of the national
councils. Under the rules that no one
may vote on official questions save
those chosen by the states as their
representatives on the national COM
mittee the women will have no voice
in deciding tomorrow where the next
annual Republican convention is to be
held.
Many Of them were disappointed In
not being able to meet Mrs. John
Glover South, the new chairman of
the women's division, who succeeds
Mrs. Medill Mccormick as the national
leader of organized Republican women.
Mrs. South was unable to get here
from her Kentucky home. Her actv
tiles there in behalf Of the Republican
nominee for Governor, who incidentally
is her counsin, and his victory in q
normally Democratic state have done
much to make her famous in the Re-
publican ranks.
Women Ready for Work
Although here in the guise Of In
terested spectators, the women of the
party to-day began making hay while
the sun of numerical strength shone
upon them. Miss Mary Garrett Hay,
chairman of the executive committee
Of the women's division and New York
state leader of the Republican women
held informal conferences from early
this morning until the hour set for
the dinner she gave tonight at the
Willard Hotel. This was for the women
nd few of the important male men,
bers of the national committee.
The women have q suite of rooms
on the fourth floor of the Willard
Hotel as temporary headquarters, Miss
Hay having brought down Mrs. Farrar,
I secretary of the New York City
headquarters, and borrowed Mrs.
Amanda Miller from the Washington
headquarters to set up a regular office

ing their share of comforting with the
women, all with view to increasing
the woman vote for the Republicans
in the next election. It was officially
told about the headquarters TODAY
Chairman Will Hays was intent on
giving women as much place in the
sun as POSSIBLE at the big meeting
tomorrow
The women will get a chance to
gllmmer, it is believed, in the Thurs
