CHICAGO. July i7-Out OF the

the many fused and confused ele-
ments that have appeared in the city
in The last five days, a new party has
been launched.
Utterly repudiating the action Of

is Allen McCurdy the keynoter OF the

eight with two secretaries, Miss Faye
Johnston, OF st. Louis. and Mrs. Cora
Jeners, OF Painesdale, Mich. Park
Longworth, Of Chicago, a distant
relative OF Nicholas LongwOrth, was
chosen temporary treasurer.
The call for the reassembling Of the
convention Is expected within the
next thirty days in this city and Che
tentative platform Is the st. Louis
platform adopted by the Forty-eight-
ers last year.
The convention refused 20 allow
into its deliberations any one who

went so far as to rule out Of the ses-
sion Lester Barlow, chairman OF the
World War Veterans, together with
newspaper men, who were allowed 10

As the result Of BarlOw's summary
