sentiment on the question of party re

in conferences beginning tomorrow.
The forces opposed to an extraord

against the proposes reduction In
southern representation. Some com
mitteemen regarded it as probable that
before actual work of the committee
begins tomorrow, there will be three
divisions of opinion. In the first will
be found the national committeemen
who favor the calling of a convention
immediately; in the second will be

The first and third groups
pected to join against the second and
the odds are said to be in favor of a
convention. According to predictions
of Chairman Hilles, the convention
probably will thresh out its differ
ences in open session and the advo
cates of all proposals will have an op
portunity to give their arguments.
In addition to the members of the
committee, who expect to speak, Orms
by f.lcHarg has asked for a hearing.
Mr. McHarg is understood to have
prepared a brief against the right .of
the national committee to call ex
traordinary convention- Chairman
Hilles said today tnat he was not at
" tempting to use the power of Mb posi
ti.jn for either contention and holds to
the view that it is a question to be
settled by a majority of the commit
tee. Informal conferences between
committeemen marked the day, but
the real work will begin tonight when
the entire committee will be guests at
a dinner of Chairman Hilles. All fac
tions are expected to have a clearer
understanding of the situation when it
is over.
Aside from purely legal arguments,

Garrison and Daniels reprimands for

Secretaries Daniels and Garrison
conferred today and called for a state
ment of explanation from Rear Ad
miral Howard and Quartermaster
General Aleshire, the highest rank
ing officers at the dinner.
Secretary Daniels at the same time
suggested to Admiral Howard that he
decline the presidency of the order, to
which he was elected last Thursday
and informed him that the song,
"Damn, Damn, Damn the Insurrectos.''
which was sung at the banquet, would
never be sung again under the pres

navy present.

chinery provided in several states for
the election of delegates. Many state
laws provide that elections for dele
gates to nominating conventions shall
be held every four years. Those who
favor an early convention contend
that recognition of the principle of the
primaries by the national committee
would be a sufficient guarantee to the
good faith of the party.
If the committee decides tomorrow
to call a convention, it is highly prob
able that there will be some discus
sion of how best to reduce southern
representation in future conventions.
The Republican congressional com
mittee has drawn up several tentative
plans for presentation to the national
committee. The plan which has met
with greatest favor in the congres
sional committee proposes four dele
ted to cross into Mexico today because
of the closing in of the rebel forces
and the prospect of an attack on Gen
eral Salvador Mercado's 4,000 federal
troops garrisoned here. Whether the
advance of the rebels will result in an
immediate battle or a prolonged siege
is impossible to tell.
Ojinaga, in the opinion of military
men, is virtually Impregnable. The
town where the federals have built
strong fortifications, is on top of a
plateau which rises abruptly fifty feet
from surrounding ground. The river
forms a half circle around it on the
east and north, while on the south ris
es a series of hills,' all of which may
be commanded by artillery located on
the plateau. There are three points
from which an attack might be deliv
ered. Two of these are so difficult to
maneuver cavalry across that they
would be useless as the rebels will
plain to his assistants that he felt
keenly the burlesque on members of
his cabinet. Secretary Daniels and
Secretary Garrison shared the presi
dent's feeling in the matter. Mr.
Daniels said today that ho left the din
ner immediately after . making his
speech in order to keep another en
gagement and that the song "Damn,
damn, damn the insurrectos," was par
ticularly offensive.
Secretary Daniels said that had he j
known the song was to have been sung

The plan was discussed today with
favor by some of the best known men
on the committee. They pointed out
that since the election of 1908 there
liad been a census and a congressional
reapportionment; that many states
had not the same number of represen
tatives now that they had In that
year, and that in other states Demo
cratic legislatures had made reap
portionments, A new proposal growing out of that
plan was made by several committee
men. It proposes four delegates at
large from each state, one from each ,
congressional district, where the Re- j
publican vote cast bore a certain ra
tio to the total vote. Southern com
mitteemen object to such a compro
mise plan.
The view that the committee may
not decide to call a convention Is not
shared by boomers from several large
cities whose representatives were on
hand early today, stocked with cash
and prepared to press their claims to
the limit.
Among the cities contesting are
Philadelphia, Indianapolis, Cincinnati,
St. Louis and Denver. The last named
city was on the ground with a promiBO
or $50,000. St. Louis was said to ba
ready with $20,000 and other cities
southeast.
The importance of the ultimate re
sult here relies in the fact that should
the federals win they then would be
in a position to attempt to recapture
Juarez, opposite El Paso. If the reb
els win, General Mercado's forces
either would have to surrender or
cross into the United States.

The opinion of the president and
members of his cabinet is that satires
cannot be objected to when coming
from persoiiB outside of the govern
ment, but to permit to go unnoticed
the criticisms of officials of the army
and navy is likely to be misinterpret
ed abroud as a severe breach of dis
cipline. The news of the proposed investi
gation fell like a bomb shell in army
and navy circles. There were hun
dreds of officers present. Hear Admi-
ral Howard told Mr. Daniels today
that they had sung "Damn, Damn, j
i Damn, the. Insurrectos" for thirteen!
years and had not met with any ob
jection. Secretary Daniels pointed out
that officers of the army and navy
who would be expected to support the
administration's policy, could not be
permitted to ridicule it.
Mr. Daniels was inclined to take in
to consideration that the function was
intended as one of jollity and good
natured fun. but was amazed that
copies of the songs, with descriptions J
of the travesties were given out in j
pdvance, and no efforts to keep the af
fair a private one. j
Secretaries Daniels, Itedlield and i
has adopted the more drastic method
of adding a "no sleep" strike to her
"hunger and thirst strike'' in order to
force Ihe prison authorities to release
her. She accomplished this by walk
ing continually. 1-Ier condition is al
ready serious and her friends expect
her release shortly. The police, how
