MRS. HUNDLEY AND
 MRS. JACOBS ARE
 UNIQUE FIGURES
Musgrove Is Another Who Is Pointed Out With h. terest at the Chicago
 Convention
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Chicago, June s.-(Special )-With the exception of the members of the delega- ton, who in their power to aid in nam- ing the next President of the United states, are the most important Alabam- ians in Chicago, honors are divided between Lawrence B. Musgrove of Jas per. the multimilionare Mrs. Pattie Ruffner Jacobs and Mrs. oscar R. Hund- ley.
 Mrs. Jacobs is democrat in addition to being suffragette She is Alabama S Feminine adjunct to the national demo- cratic committee. Some of these days when women are given the power to vote she will be, from a national standpoint, the female democratic politician of Ala bama. It is entirely probable that she will become the right bower in Alabama of some future chairman of the national committee. It is reasonable to suppose that the men of the Ninth district will insist that she run for Congress.
 An outsider, of course, in this gathering of republicans, Mrs. Jacobs is simply ob- serving. She will be more formidable when the democrats gather at San Fran CISCO.
 Mrs. Hundley is republican. When the republican women of the United States held their reception in Chicago Saturday night, Mrs Hundey was there. She was asked to serve the republican party in Alabama just as Mrs. Jacobs is expected to serve the democratic. Be- cause women have no right to vote in Alabama at the present time, she saw the futility of tho undertaking, and tenta- lively declined But when tomorrow comes, Mrs. Hundley will very probably ''get on the job''
 Mir. Musgrove. while democrat, is at- tracting considerable attention In the lcbbies he is pointed out as the multi millionaire whom the Anti-Sa1oon League and Samuel Gompers attempted to put in the Senate. As ''the man who ran against Oscar Underwood" he is best known. Stories have grown, as stories will. and thus it happens that the gossips here say that in the senatorial campaign in Alabama, terminated May H. MT. Mus grove spent more money than Senator Newberry spent in Michigan, or General Wood running in twenty states as a can didate for the presidency.
 En route to Chicago, MT. Musgrove was presented to two Catholic priests, the one being the arch deacon of Missouri and the other the bishop of Florida. Though these men knew that in the sen- atorial campaign MT. Musgrove and his friends tried to secure the berth of Sem ator Underwood by arousing prejudice against the Catholics, they made no ref erence to that fact. There was consd- erable gentle humor without sting, but IL IS not KnOWn that NIT. MuSSTOVe per- ceived it, or perceiving it, politely let it pass over his head. He chatted with the priests pleasantly, and then permit ted his mind again to wander to William Jennings Bryan, that eminent newspaper man, with whom he had an engagement in Chicago.
 MT. Bryan and MT. Musgrove came to Chicago to include the intelligence of the republican party to the necessity of indorsing prohibition They had their meetings. and though MT. Musgrove con- tinued the practice he initiated in Ala bama of permitting others to speak for him, Mrs. Bryan had much to say on his own responsibility. Between innings MT Bryan in pursuit of the almighty dol lar, hastily wrote a piece for the news papers, thus killing two birds with a single stone, or serving God and Nam mon at the same time, just as one pre- fers.
 As previously reported in this corre- spondence, neither MT. Bryan nor MT Musgrove have startled the world by a public discussion of the recent Alabama campaign. They have not thought il of sufficient importance even to discuss a resolution which bends in Congress seeking to air the expenditure of money in Alabama between January l and May Il this year.
