SAN DIEGO IGNORES CONFERENCE ACTION Expensive Convention at Santa Bar. bara Barren of Real Results, and Question of Paying Bills Is Voiced [Special to The Herald.] SANTA BARBARA, March 23.— aftermath of the commercial confer ence which resolved that San Francisco , and not San Diego was the proper place for holding the Panama exposi tion is a great big question mark. What will be the result of the action taken ' Most of the delegates re mained over the day, and this morn ing heard their action of yesterday would ln no way affect the plans of I San Diego, ancl that the busy south ern city ls going to celebrate the open ing of the canal. It made some of these delegates wonder if it had been worth it all to come several hundred miles to sit through a "talky" session and then decide ln favor of San Fran- Ii Somehow or other tlie plan? of .i. 11 ■ _ro, and that the busy south ■n city Is going to celebrate the open g Of the canal. It made some of egatei wonder if it had been ■ ntli it all to cnie several hundred lit through a "ta'ky" i then decide In favor en' Ban Fran ■i o. Bomehow or oth« r tl. are not enthusing over the "victory of San Francisco." But the delegates seem to be enjoy ing themselves, and there again arises another question; Who Pays the Fiddler? Who is tooting the bills'.' It is known thore are delegates stop ping at the luxurious Potter hotel who would certainly have gone to a less expensive place if they had to ply f"r it themselves, or even put It up to the organizations tbey represent. Tho lat ter is the natural supposition, but when one remembers that it was a rather hurriedly called conference It is food for thought. That some of thesa northern commercial bodies \vould send several men as far south as Santa Barbara and be willing to foot Ii bills Just for having them part of ensive place if they had to pay i <t ..r ev.n put it up b tnizatlons they represent Thi . tural supposition, but v on remembers that it « i ler hun ledly called confi I for thought. That sole them commercial bodies would . as far south a. I.i Barbara and be willing to bills jur-i for having them part of a aunty vote does not seem sense. The vote on the resolution was by the county unit plan. Alameda county had one vote. There were twenty-two delegates from that county alone. From Alameda county to Santa Bar bara is nearly 400 miles. The dele gates were allow a fare and a third for the round trip, but, figuring even that up for twenty-two men, loss of time, "hotel bill at the Potter, etc., it doe seem that the one vote came a little high. Taking it all in all. It was the most novel California gathering since tho days of '49. Peculiar Precedent Set It is claimed that the action of the conference sets a peculiar precedent. Tho phraseology of the resolution adopted is such that it bears on the Importance of the coming exposition being a California affair, and because of that reason it should be held in tho commercial center and where trans portation facilities abound. The reso lution then declares San Francisco to be the logical place. Viewing it iv the light of real legis lation, a local attorney says it Is I'aklng to stating that in case some \ l California gathering since the Peculiar Precedent Set t is claimed thi t the action of the iliar pn ■ c iihr. the resolution opted I II hears on the portance of the i oming * \i •■ ng a ' 'alifornia aii'.ilr, and :' that reason it should be held am. i, .;,: c, vi. i- mi when trans -illi !

Stock ton might lose its "Rush of '49" cele bration, Fresno anything it might do in the raisin line am; .Sacramento tho state fair.

"Rut I'm afraid they are in .for a worse time next November," he con tinued. "There won't be anybody in the next house but Democrats ami the nine Republicans who voted with us against Cannon tho other day."
