But that buzzing was nothing to
the hum of voices at the Mayflower,
where the women's auxiliary has
taken up its stand. The Washington
also is playing host in big way to
the visitors. For purposes OF eff
cheney, the convention visitors have
been billeted in these three hotels as
far as possible. The overflow is
uuartered in other downtown hostel
ries and scores of private homes.
Although the convention will not
get under way until "Wednesday,

Washington Cathedral, meetings of
the Daughters of the King and the
Brotherhood of st. Andrew will con-
tinue through today and tomorrow.

tions, not part of the convention
proper, will set up registration
booths in various hotels today, as
