Every District in City Represented at Meeting of Insurgents Last Night -Ex-Senator Attacks Administration.

 In the aim to revise party rules. the rule regarding the town chairman was changed to make his office held from convention to convention. Win ming delegations in the primaries chairmen and not the town chairman as at present.
 The town chairman shall have no vote at executive meetings or a board that shall consist of 12 members. He shall vote only in case of a tie. Un- der this revision the party carrying the primaries shall have control of the town committee and chairman.
 No City Jobs.
 The proposed amendment provid- ing that committee men and the town chairman shall drop from the town committee on acceptance of a politi- cal position met with some opposition but passed. A committee of five will elect a district committee man when an executive board member accepts a city position.
 A proposition providing 36 mem- bers of the executive board met with some favor but did not pass. This it was said would prevent c1iques from any district holding control.
 Primary enrolment was discussed and the association voted to provide primary enrolment blanks to each district. Town Chairman Cornell in brief comment said that the entire movement was egged on by John T. King, Republican boss, for the pur- pose of weakening the Democratic party He said he thought that there would be 400 or 500 present, accord ing to the talk of the insurgents.

ARTISTS WILL SEEK PLACES
 IN FILM COLONIES
By CLARA MOLD International News Service Stan
 COrreSnOndonr

Rome, July ii. - The troubles of Will Hays only began when he start ed throwing out films from the nov ies in America. for, say artists of Europe eagerly, if Hays is throwing out bad films he will surely help to put in good ones. And artists of Flu rope began packing tne1r bags for migration to Am erica.
 If Hays thinks he is going to have noble fight all alone in the up1ift of the movie he is mistaken. America, which once eniticed Europe as a land where one might earn unheard-of riches now presents itself alike to old and wearied artists and to young, unrestrained ones as the country where are will flourish m the next few decades. Futurists. symbolists, suprema tists-an will bo sailing sev- orally to New York, if one may De- lieve their own enthusiastic state ments.
 Happily there will be some of the most serious and creative artists among these. William Walcot, for instance, who can easily be called one of the few great English etchers of today and a man whose work is well known to the architects in America, has announced his intention of leaving in September for America.
 'I am greatly interested,-- says WaIcot, ''in the possibilities that the films offer, more especially now that there seems to be some wish for bet ter films in America. Nothing would be more interesting to eXperim ent with than a fine production of the ancient Roman period of Italian his tory, with the old color and costume and detail of architecture revlvified, as one never gets it in the ruins. The ina gination ndfis no limits in the field of films. and it will be in Amer ica, I am sure. if anywhere. that g. really beautiful film production will be given a chance to create good films in America. We already know that they are welcomed in all other work"
 MT. Walcot. who is Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects, is also one of the well known water colorists of England. He goes to New York with a commission to make etchings of five buildings, which he will choose when he gets there. His previous work will be exhibited in New York, Washington, Boston. Phil adelphia and Chicago. For the last year he has been working in Rome, where the Gruppo Romano 1ncisori Artist recently exhibited his etchings, which included a series of ancient temples, re-creating the original spir- it and detail of their architecture. The exhibit created more comment prob ably than any other held in Rome this year.
