She Declares I\ew Order
Will Not Co-operate With
Regular Party Workers
The new national organisation of
Democratic women struck a good many
re?fs in its initial %oyage into the seas
0f politK-s yesterday afternoon. The
wintrv blasts which beat against the
windo-v- of -;"' Waldorf-Astoria were
' r?o more chilly than the shafts and
inquisition? hurled against the "Women
Democrat- of America" by various and
sundry women Democrats of America
arid Tammy 1!;'!'. who saw in the new
organization a rival to others already
happily sailing under the star of
Democracy.
Mr?. George Bass, chairman of the
Women's bureau of the national
Democratic committee, was the storm
?pr.ter. She was surrounded by a
group of N'< ' Voris Democratic com?
mittee women, including Mrs. Jean
Morris, wo uin loader c1: the Tenth
Assenjbb District; Miss Sarah Steven
f son. Miss Virginia Mollenhauer, Miss
Elizabeth Marbury and Miss Laura
] Canblc.
Mrs. George II. < hilds, chairman of
(},e Women's Democratic League, pre?
sided, but stated after the meeting
5ne did so 01 ly out of courtesy and
had no official connection with tho
project. Mrs John Sherwin Crosbly.
chairma ol thi Women's Democratic
Club, sat quietl; a corner, but at
the end of th?. meeting ordered her
name ?='" - from the list of mem?
ber?. Miss Marbury left in the mid?
dle of the meeting, with a wink, which
she later iht< rpreted, with:
"Don't a ?'- me v hat it's all about. I
den'-, km -
Accord rig 1 ' ?" certificate of incor?
poration, the objects of the organiza
tion will bi to organize the Democratic
women of America, to encourage them
to labor for i ? bettrment of their
party a' : to hi Ip upbuild the nation.
Aims Arouse Suspicions
The ch i f trouble seemed to be that
the aims ? :' the new organization, as
interpreted by Miss Margaret Vale,
arou: ons on the part of Mrs.
Bas the "'her- that it was an
organ i ? wh ch would not work in
harm? i ? n stablished parry groups.
"I v. . bout the organization
by Miss Val? three weeks ago,-' said
Mrs. Bass at one tfoint in the proceed?
ing.-, "ai . :ause I understood that it
was ' organization which would
help the Democratic party and be an
... ? to the national organization
j I promised to help it. Now it'seems
that you propose to form an organiza?
tion ? arate from the men,' and that
part of ; our purpose is to promote can
1 cannot consent to any such
undertaking. Within the Democratic
part} ' have a national committee
with .. woman from every state, dis
cussing men and measures with the
men ? m nittee members'. We soon
, worm il foi every man on
the nai ial executive committee, and
? ave many women delegates
to thi national convention. If you say
yen want to organize separately from
? n, I part with you ris:ht there."
Temporary Officers Flexed
Miss Vail explained she felt many
? took nu active interest in party
organization, whereas they would be
glad to join an organization of women
whic? ??? uld meet to study political
problems. Many of the audience ap
plaudi ' ..? sentiment strongly.
Th :??? eting lasted three hours, anc
at the ? I thi se who were left electee

ficers:
President, Mrs. Henry Keith; vice

"All these women said they were in?
terested in *h<^ organization and woulc
like ? ? \ r\p it. [f they resign now
we'll elect Homebody else," Miss Vale
amid after the meeting.
What Mrs. Bass said after the meet?
ing was not nearly so clear and direct
as what she bad said during it. Her
official statement was:
"I have no objection to this organiza?

Backers of King
Issue Deft to Gen.
Wood's Managers
Connecticut Prepared for
Invasion of General,
Friends of Coniinilteeman
Tell Headquarters Here
The reaction to the announcement
by the Wood managers that they ex?
pected at an early date to carry the
campaign for General Wood into the
state of Connecticut, with the idea of
beating John T. King, the member of
the " national committee from Con?
necticut, was a defiance from the
Bridgeport friends of Mr. King, who
sent word to the Wood headquarters
yesterday that Mr. King is ready for
anything that may happen.
Representative Norman J. Gould,
Eastern manager of the Wood cam?
paign, is back from Chicago to-d?y
with campaign plans agreed upon at
the Chicago headquarters, where he
consulted with Colonel Procter, chair?
man of the Wood national committee;
Messrs Stanley and McGraw, of the
Western headquarters, and with Gen?
eral Wood himself. The decision to
wage an aggressive campaign in the
New England and Middle states was
reached in Chicago, and the friends of
General Wood in Connecticut and
Massachusetts assure his managers
there is everything to gain and noth?
ing to lose by driving hard for dele?
gates all over New England.
"It will not solve the nation's prob?
lems if the people elect a so-called
'business man,' be he ever so able,"
said Colonel Thomas W. Miller, as?
sistant Eastern manager, yesterday at
the Hotel Imperial. "It would not do
to put h man in the White House who
represents any one of th econtending
interests. We must unite upon a dis?
interested man in whom all the people
will have confidence."
The Wood managers said yesterday
they were receiving gratifying replies
to their enrollment cards sent to
Kings, now the largest Republican
county in the state.
