Murray Crane and It was then decided that Mr. Ulcott is to take down his copy of the Congressional directory and to send ln nations to all Repre sentatives nnd I'nlted Stntes Senators who appear In that volume under the designation " Republican." It Is a question how many Republi can Congressmen and t'nlted States Senators who differed with President Taft's Killcles and yet did not go oer to Roosevelt in the recent campaign will attend. Senator Cummins of Town believes the Republican National Committee should bo called together and a Republican na tional convention held, nt which new policies should bo enunciated Hnd new- blood Infused Into the party organiza tlon. Senator Horah. Oov. Hadley and men of that type are also to hold aloof at the present time, preferring to await further developments. It has been decided that President Taft will be the only spet'ker at the banquet. Tentative plans include the organlza tlon of constitutional clubs In all the States whose chief admontlon to Re mibllean voters shall bo to stand by the Constitution of the United States and to dlsnute every step of tho way which would amend the national Constitution in favor of the Inlallve, referendum and recall.

EXCHANGE HEADS READY FDR FIGHT dorsed by Hughes Com mission in 1909. SECRET UNTIL NOW Report Opposes Incorpora tion; Is for Voluntary Association. KM'DKS TRUST QUESTION s,.,,.,....:.;..,. nf Cp-.-Htipfl ftlirl .'l MSIOI1 OT fteCUritlPS ailfl Inspection Of HOOKS AfC Strongly Opposed. James H. Mubon, president of the New York Stock Exchange: George W. Ely, the secretary, and those members of the governing committee who have been subpoenaed to appear before the Pujo. committee In Washington next week, decided yestctdny lo present to thf committee "the same explanation and defence of Stock Kxchange organlza-1 "'' methods and practices which wa. mi" herore the committee appointed oy Gov. Hughes three years ago. Tne, statements made to the Hughes colli n,.,n ,..0 ..r e..iua 1.. uiintlli..onlH iiairiri u'-w uiuirvn ,i iiojuii y .in directed, but In the main the defence of the Stock Exchange will be the sam as that made before the Hughes com mission. The Hughes commission, tliougn Its Investigation. of Slock F.xchange prac tices was most exhaustive, conducted" Its hearings behind closed doors and gave out none of the testimony. Its report exonerated the Stock Kxchanse of nil the serious charges preferred ngalnst it, but the data and argument.' of the Stock Kxehango have rcmnlntA a closed book until their publication In Tun Si n herewith, Muestliiii .if lHcorHrntfnii. The Hughes commission, like the Pujo committee,' Inquired into the organisation of the Stock F.xchange. The tlrst question of the Hughes com-' mission related to the desirability of the incorporation nf the exc'hangn under the laws of the Slate, as dis tinguished from Its continued existence as a membership association or club not amenable to those laws which govern other Incorporated bodies. That ques tion, which Is the most Important thtt has been raised by the Pujo commit tee and In regard to wnlch members of the Pujo committee have intimated a thirst for further knowledge, was dis cussed at greatest length In the reply of the Stock F.xchange to the Inquiries of the Hughes commission. Substantially the same answer that was made lo the Hughes commission, It was learned yesterday, will be glxen to the Pujo committee next week. In the beginning this answer says: "The Slock F.xchange is a voluntary organization of a body of men, subject to rules which wro rarely broken nnd which are scrupulously enforced at all times, with the necessary penalty for any violation. The Stock Exchange has practically no property but Its realty, It does not exercise fiduciary trusts nor tnke charge of the properly of others: therefore a charter would not confer upon It any benefit nor Is It necessary In the transaction of Its business, which Is based upon an agreement U'lween one ' member nnd another. It hns'no inter- est either n the purchase or sale of any security. It Is simply a place provided where the buyer shall meet, the seller nnd obtain at all times n market for securities." Cite l.nniliiu Kxperlencr. The brief of the Stock Exchange goes on to recite the experience of the Lon don Stock Exchange, which was alfo subjected to criticism because ll was a voluntary association, nnd shows that exhaustive argument of the question be fore n Parliamentary commission re sulted 'In leaving the London exchange In Its previous form. It then brings out the argument which Is considered most Important by the Stock Exchange au thoritiesthat is, that a voluntary asso ciation has plenary powers of discipline over its members which could not be exercised by nn Incorporated associa tion. In n voluntary association If fraud or wrongdoing 'Is even suspected the suspected member mny be expelled and the wrongdoing either prevented or Im mediately punished, whereas in an In corporated association the disciplined member might appeal to the courts and tie up the business of the exchange without any advantage whatever to tht customers or members he sought to defraud. "Tho disciplinary power of the grov eiTilng committee of the Stock Ex change over its members," the brief nays, "Is essentia! to ILa well being and vital to the maintenance among Iti members of high standard of honor In business dealings. As It Is at presen organized the members are bound by a contract which the courts will enforce, and those who are thoroughly conver sant with the history of tho Exchan;t would bo unanimous in testifying to th" efficiency and fairness with which tljt governing committee's power of num mary discipline haa been exercised. "Tho distinction between the expul sion of a member of such a voluntarily unincorporated association or removal of a member of a corporation Is very Important. Tho moment the body re ceives a charter a different set of prin ciples comes Into piny ns regulating the relations between the member nnd the body." Cniirl OrcUlon Unoteil.
