.PARLEY CITY CHOICE
CREATES PROBLEM
Democratic Heads ReShape
Campaign Plans.

By UHttedPreSS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Demo-
cratic political leaders reshaped
campaign plans today to conform
with the national committees unex-
pected decision to hold next June's
nominating convention in the East
instead of the farm belt.
Philadelphia won the convention
auction with a certified check bid of
100000 plus $500 in cash prizes to
delegates and the offer of free use
of the municipal auditorium. The
Democrats meet June %. The Re-
publican national convention will
meet in Cleveland, June 9.
Farm belt New Dealers who had
expected to profit locally by having
the convention excitement close to
hometown voters must look now to
some other political stimulant, if
any is needed.
Decision to renominate President
Roosevelt and Vice President Gar
ner on the Atlantic Seaboard, in
stead of on the prairies, upset plans
of Chairman James A. Farley to put
on the quadrennial Democratic po-
litical carnival in the farm coun-
try.
Selection of Democratic conven-
ton city ended seven days of fast
political action centered in the capi-
tai.
Yesterdays national committee
meeting ended the New Deal drive
momentarily and as Democrats con-
solidate the gains of an active
week the opposition is maneuvering
to attack.

MORGAN DENIES
USE OF lever
Asserts Firm Didn't Jockey
Foreign Exchange to
Lift Loan Ban.
4y United Press

~ UntteG PfeSS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The Sem
ate Munitions Committee today
sought to learn from portly, 68-year-
old j. p. Morgan whether chief re-
sponsibilities for lifting of an Ameri-
can embargo on loans to the allies
should be placed on his firm or the
Wilson Administration.
Mr.. Morgan denied vigorously that
J. P. Morgan & Co. had manipu-
lated foreign exchange rates in 1915
as clever" to force the govern
ment to lift the ban. He sat glum-
ly silent, however, when committee
members placed in the record a
memorandum from Secretary of
State Robert Lansing to President
Woodrow Wilson.
The document was intended to
support committee contention
that the war time Administration
placed greater weight on mainte-
nance of an American war-boom in
exports than Oil continuing a policy
of neutrality.
Mr.. Morgan's partners, George
Whitney and Thomas w. Lamont,
wrangled with Senator Clark over
charges that the bankers brought
pressure to bear upon the Presi-
dent" to alter the neutrality policy.
The Morgan firm was shown to
have withdrawn from the Exchange
in August, 1915. When the pound
sterling slumped, the seriousness
of the situation was called to the
attention of then Secretary Of
Treasury William G.. McAdoo He
and Mr.. Lansing advised President
Wilson that the ban on extension
of credits abroad should be lifted.

Mystery

Statehouse employees were
mystified today by orders to fill
out new personnel question:
naires similar to ones original
ly given to Pleas E. Greenlee,
when he was patronage secre-
tary to Gov. McNutt.
Earl Crawford, Mr.. Green
lees successor, after a confer
ence with Statehouse depart
ment heads said he found no
personnel records when he took
Office.
According to Statehouse en-
ployes, two hand-trucks were
required to carry away Mr..
Greenlee's personal corre-
spondence following his dismis-
sal or retirement-he says one.
the Governor says the other.
Mr.. Greenlee, a leading cam
didate for the Democratic gu
bernatorial nomination, could
not be reached today to help
solve the mystery, if any.
