things, come to decision on the
most unusual suggestion yet made in
connection with the party'S activities.
1t is proposal that the Republicans
do the unprecedented thing Of holding
an off-year national convention just
before the congressional campaign
next year.
This idea first was heard of pub
licly from former President Hoover.
who suggested it in magazine article
a month or more ago, and in an in
terview q little earlier than that.
Hamilton Suggestion.
But, it developed last week, the sug-
gestion was made even earlier than
that by Chairman Hamilton himself.
At a meeting of the National Executive
Committee last March, he appointed
a committee to consider the posi-
bilities.
While the National Executive Com
mittee ran into some differences of
opinion on the advisability Of holding
the convention last week, Hamilton,
is all for 1t.
Plenty of political developments
occur every - months to make an
annual Summer party conference
worth while" he told newspaper men.
Il am in favor Of any such meeting
that would bring fair representation
of all thoughts and all groups within
the party with opportunity for full dis
cussion of all issues"
Whether held in Summer, Spring or
Fall, he added, it should take place
in sufficient time to let the country
know where the party stands In con-
nection with the next elections"

Of Grenville T. Emmet, United States
Minister to Austria, lay in a hotel
room where the 50-year -old diplomat
died suddenly yesterday OF double
pneumonia just two weeks after taking
charge Of his Legation.
Mrs Emmet, who was summoned to
Vienna from Paris where she had
preceded her husband on a planned
trip to the United States to attend
their sons wedding. was severely
shaken. Funeral arrangements we're
hold in allegiance until she was in
condition to arrange them. She was
under doctors care.

A heavy cold had turned SO quickly
into pneumonia that Emmet's ply
sicians feared to move him to a hos
pital. The Minister, who succeeded
George S. Messersmith last July s.,
was stricken last Thursday.
The former New York law partner
OF President Roosevelt, had rallied for
time, but heart complications set in
and he was unable to survive a re-
lapse despite injections, oxygen and
what his physicians said was extraor-
binary strength and willpower. En-
met mad prided himself on his good
health. He had not been i'll in 80
years.
Condolences for Emmet, who previ-
ously had been Minister to the Nether-
lands, poured in from Austrian gov
ernment and diplomatic officials.

to pay their respects.

to be married in Virginia. Two
daughters. Pauline Anne and Eliza
beth Virginia, were expected today
from Paris to join their mother.
Wife at Bedside.
At his bedside when the three-day
struggle for life ended were Mrs.
Emmett, John C. Wiley, new Legation
counsellor, and four physicians.
Most members of the American
colony had had no opportunity TO
meet the new Minister, who previously
was Minister to the Netherlands.
Soon after he presented his Gre
dentials to President Wilhelm Miklas
September IA, Emmet contracted the
cold, but apparently recovered. He
carried out his schedule of appoint
ments with government officials and
fellow diplomats until Thursday eve
ming, when physicians found him
suffering from high fever.
Emmett was a senior partner in the
law firm Of Emmett, Marvin g. Martin,
New York City. President Roosevelt
was a junior partner in the firm after
mis- defeat for the Vice Presidency
in 1920. At that time the firm name
was Enmet. Marvin e. Roosevelt.
Mr. Roosevelt retired from the firm
in 1923.

1877. Emmett was educated at st.
Paul's School, Concord. N. H., and
at Harvard. After a short period in
brokerage house he entered New
York Law School. He was admitted
to the bar after his graduation in
1901.
