ton last night.
Ball Is Discussed.
The pages, too. gathered in little
lotteries outside the auditorium to
discuss the evento Of last nights
ball at Mrs. Larz Andersons home.
The various State delegation
meetings in the hall during the
afternoon furnished food for election
gossip today, and the opposing
lines were more definitely pro-
nounced than during the first two
days Of the congress.
The succession Of Mrs. Rhett
Goode, Of Alabama, to the office of
chaplain general, succeeding Mrs.
Thomas A. Edison, who resigned,
was regarded today as certainty.
1t was learned that Mrs. Goodies
name was first and prominently
mentioned at the pre-congress board
meeting when Mrs. Edison rendered
her resignation, to become effective
at the close ofsthe sessions. Mrs.
Goode was the only candidate an.
nounced at that meeting, and no
contenders Of Importance have come
TO the fore since. Mrs. Goode was
the only defeated candidate on the
president generals ticket in 1923.
Mrs. Denmead Popular.
OF all the candidates for vice
president general, eight of whom
are to be elected, none is more
strongly and universally supported
than Mrs. Adam Denmead, Of Bal
timore, State regent Of Maryland

among the delegations from the

The reception of Mrs. Anthony
Wayne Cook, president general, and
her staff, in the hall last night, was
attended by more than 5000 guests
and members of the D. A. r. The
receiving line, headed by Mrs.
Cook, extended across the platform,
the guests filing through the corri-
doris, the museum, and the library
to reach the stage.
A second line was stationed in the
museum. and an orchestra, located
just below the stage, furnished
music, selecting State melodies and
familiar American songs.
AS the guests passed down the
line, their files descended to the
body of the auditorium, where they
might remain to view the reception
from seats. Those seated gathered
into coteries Of varying size and ap-
plauded their faYorite candidates for
