CHICAGO WON'T GET
COP.
THE REPUBLICANS WILL SELECT
CLEVELAND AS NEXT CON-
vENnoN CITY.

Washington, ID .C.-The 1924 re-
publican convention is going to Cleve-
land.
Chicago, heretofore regarded as far
in the lead among the various cities
inviting the convention, Lost out
when it became known that the adj
ministration wished the big g. o. p.
meeting to go to Cleveland.
This became known after a delega-
ton Of ~Chicagoans, headed by Fred
w. Upham, treasurer of the republican
national committee, had visited the
White House and conferred with Pres
ident Coolidge.
Following the conference, Mr.. Up
ham issued the following statement:
Greatly to my surprise | have been
today advised by the responsible
leaders OF the administration that it
is their belief hat the convention
should 90 to Cleveland. While | am
deeply disappointed, especially in view
OF the fact that | secured the assur-
ances Of a sufficient number Of the
members OF the republican national
committee to insure the selection Of
Chicago as the convention city, as a
staunch party man and friend Of the
administration, | shall yield TO this re-
quest, withdraw the invitation Of
Chicago and ask that the selection Of
Cleveland be made unanimous"
In view of this unexpected develop
ment, there is a strong probability
that the democratic convention will
now go to Chicago. The democrats
have been looking over the list Of in
vitations and have cast friendly
glances on that OF Chicago. but there
has been a strong aversion among
leaders towards going to the same
city as the republicans.
Within the last day or two several
responsible democratic leaders have
expressed a wish to have the conven
ton held in Chicago and now that the
republicans have decided to go to
Cleveland this sentiment will undoubt-
edly increase. especially in view Of
the fact that no other city appears
40 nave been strongly favored.
Mr.. Upham announced that he would
put forth every effort to get the demo-
cratic convention for Chicago and
endeavor to make available for this
purpose the fund which was raised
for the entertainment of the republi.
can convention.
