One of these Involved arranging for q speakers stand and decora- tions for the huge hall Built primarily for sports. the great hall has no permanent plat form and speakers stand. This is being constructed. With the deco. ratlons 1t will cost $t4,000. The democrats, who will use the same hall only few days later, had q provision written Into their contract protecting them against being required to pay for tho al. terations.
 When he learned of the addition al expense. Chairman Fess of the republican national committed went to the Chicago cltIzens' com mittee and asked If the democrats could not be made to share part of the cost. He pointed out that democrats undoubtedly would use the republican fixtures--substitut- Ing, of course. their own pictures and banners where necessary. Edward N. Hurley. chairman of the Chicago committee and fl staunch democrat. opIncd it couldn't be done and that he would have to pay tho $7.00O himself if an. attempt were made to split the expense.
 Finally it was decided to get out program. the advertising from which might bring in the needed Sf4,O0O. But here the committee had its difIicultics--and is still having them.
 Finally the citizens committed was given the task of Issuing the programs without national cons mittee backing.
