or l7.9 per cent over 1910, the CEN
sus bureau announced tonight The
rate Of growth was smaller than ever
before in the city's history except the
decade ending in 1870, while the i'm
crease numerically was smaller in
either Of the two decades preceding
1910.
The latest estimate Of the popula-
tion of the city and county Of Lon
don, made in 1917, was 4,O26,9O1, u
decrease from the official census of
1911, which showed population of
I,52 $50. Comparison Of the popu-
lation of New York City with that of
London is declared by census bureau
officials to be difficult because of the
areas covered by the designators Of
the cities.
The small increase in the growth Of

'eade is attributed by census officials
70 the almost complete stoppage dur
ing the war Of the influx Of immi-

WILL CUT VOTE
OF SOUTH COP.
Further Reduction in Repre-
sentation to be Urged on
National Committee.
By The Associntcd Prcssl


CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 5.-Repre-
scntatlon of the southern states in
future republican national conven-
tions would further be reduced under
plans to be urged on the national
committee.
Many Of the northern committee
men feel convinced that the last re-
duction did not reach the mark at
which the committee was aiming and
they cite the crop Of delegates con
tests brought to the national com
mittee from the southern states with
accompanying cooked up evidence. :"
packed or secret conventions and
stacks Of affidavits which some dele
gates before the committee charged
had been obtained at So throw.
In practically every contest before
the committee. speakers have declar-
Cd that the republican party would
meet little success in the southern
states unless il took steps 10 check
the alleged practices. As the first
step the committee by unanimous
resolution. warned that no local or
district conventions for the next ma
tional convention must be held in
places not accessible to all. regardless
.of color. The same committeeman
who proposed that resolution have
now, after further study of the sub
jcct. prepared to submit plans to
slash the delegate representation Of
the southern states to minimum i'm
harmony with the number Of republi-
can votes they bring out at the polls.
The plan is TO give the states rep
resentation by Il limited number OF
delegates at large and to put the re-
quired number Of republican votes in
the congressional districts al a mark
which will reduce the district delegate
representation. The South Carolina
case centered the attention Of COM
mitteemen on that feature. as il pre-
sented an instance Of a state casting
l,500 republican votes. being repre-
scented in the national convention
with II delegates.
The understanding now is that the
committeeman framing the plan will
present II 70 the present committee
before it goes out of existence and
use the proceedings Of the contest
hearings to argue the reasons for the
change they demand

from the military, Governor Gil re-
fcrred the matter 10 General Gomez,
at Tampico, acting commander Of the

The situation came TO a head at a
meeting AT the Matamoros city hall
