WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. - San
Francisco appears to be the choice
of most Republican national COM
lnitteemen as the 1928 convention
city 1t was disclosed by committee
men comforting informally here to-
day with William M. Butler, nation
al chairman.
San Francisco was far in the lead
of other cities until President chose
not to run again and the only OBJ
lection now being raised is whether
the selection of the California city
might not give Secretary of Com
MERGE Herbert Hoover, a Californian,
an advantage over other candidates.
Cordially of sentiment toward
San Francisco was the outstanding
development of the gathering.
While no definite selection has been
made there is now enough San
Francisco votes in sight, it was in
dicated, to give that city the inside
track. Formal designation of the
convention city will occur at the De-
cember meeting of the national COM
n1ittee.

Nancy agreed unhesitatingly. Not

stimulating.

The promptness of his response
comforted yet frightened her. A

was encouraging the Irritation.

not said where they were going. But
she told herself she was prepared
for anything up to a certain point
She wouldn't go any further than
that, of course!
AS a gay deceiver, however, Jerry
proved disappointing. His attitude
was as conventional as if they had
been formally introduced. He had
tickets foraa most circumspect mu-
steal comedy. Afterward they went
to the Aladdin and danced.
And he danced beautifully with
no emotional reactions. Holding her
in his arms did not seem to excite
him unduly. Nancy was surprised
and a little piqued, after all the
newspapers had said. Perhaps she
wasn't as fascinating as the other
girls he had known.
Slipping out of the mentcl arnor
she had worn against him, she de-
liberately tried to awaken his in

He was provokingly nonchalant I'M

Then he asked, quietly, 'Why did
you call me tonight?"

"And I don't believe you. You
called to see what I'd do, to find

as I'm supposed to be-"
A wave of recklessness swept her.
"Supposing I did?"
"You admit it?"
81 admit nothing" she asserted,
defiantly. "But why should men do
all the experimenting? have the
same right to be curious that you

But you called me instead.

Suddenly Nancy was ashamed
