nj. and Nj. Election Delayed.
Old Man Winter has made it hard
for the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association to choose their officers for
the coming year.
The annual election was scheduled
for last Thursday. Plans were made
in advance for the new members of
the Board of Directors to meet in The
Star Building and select the men who
next year are to guide the destinies
Of the organization.
Colds, grippe, and other similar all
ments stepped in. Week before last
Edward D. Shaw, executive secretary,
was too ill to attend the meeting. Last
week, Ford E. Young, vice president,
and other officers found themselves
, victims of the usual Winter ailments.
AS consequence, the M. and M. has
found it necessary to postpone the
regular election again-the second
time-until next Thursday. The meet
ing will be held in the Merchants and
Manufacturers Associations Offices IN
The Star Building.
Buildings Group to Meet.
Tomorrow afternoon the Board Of
Trades Committee on Public and Pri-
vate Buildings will meet in the Office
of the Board of Trade to consider the
possibilities of erecting municipal
auditorium.
The meeting was called by c. Melvin
Sharpe, chairman of the subcommit-
teen considering the auditorium.
Arthur B. Heaton is chairman.
Washington's convention needs have
necessitated the recent urgent con-
sideration Of erecting an auditorium
that will be large enough to house
bigger conventions and at the same
time be under an accessible manage
nent that will make them available
for groups that heretofore have been
barred from the National Capital.
The suggested plan of building an
auditorium in the same structure that
eventually will house the National
Guard is still on the list to be con-
sidered, but expert convention men
believe the plan for a massive struc-
ture at the foot of East Capitol street
will not be suitable because of its dis
tance from the heart of the city.

Philip P. Gott, manager of the trade
association department of the United
States Chamber of Commerce, was
guest of honor and principal speaker
at the meeting last week of the Wash
ington Restaurant Association, an af-

facturers' Association. Julius Lulley,
