P. LEADERS GATHERING FOR FIRST OF FRAY REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMIT TEE MEETS TODAY TO SELECT TIME AND PLACE FOR NATION AL CONVENTION; MANAGERS ARE ON SCENE. WASHINGTON, Doc. 9 (ff>) From all parts of the nation republican political leaders are converging in Washington today. Many already ar rived while others will reach the city tonight and tomorrow morning early. The veterans of other com mittee meetings have been here for several days laying their wires for the program and delegations from several cities are actively engaged in trying to land the national con vention.’ The purpose of the committee meeting is to select the place for the national convention next year and to set the date on which it will open. It is believed that it will com mence June 8, 1920, but it is too early to predict the place. Both Chicago and St. Louis want the con vention and from all indications it will go to one of these two cities. San Francisco’s delegation is sup porting the former city but most of the southwestern delegates will flock to the banner of St. Louis. Several other cities are also after the big meeting and it is just barely possible that an outsider will spring a sur prise and secure enough votes to beat out both the present apparent favor ites. The Presidential campaign man agers of proposed candidates are cir culating among the committeemen getting personally acquainted with as many of them as possible. General Leonard Wood, Governor Frank Low den, of Illinois, both have complete organizations in this city who are losing no time in boosting for their principals. Ohio's delegation is work ing hard for Senator Harding, Ohio's senior representative in the upper chamber of the national congress. Senator Poindexter, who was left out in the cold recently by the South Dakota republicans, nothing daunted by his experience at Pierre is work ing like the proverbial beaver to line up support among tiie committeemen. Another one among those present at the handshaking bees and prominent in the list of willing-to-be Presiden tial candidates is Ylenator Hiram Johnson, of California, who, before his last trip to California on a speaking tour against the league of nations was considered one oi the strongest possibilities for the repub lican nomination but who has been less prominent since most of his state repudiated his stand on the treaty and league question. The Califorina senator is not letting this attitude bother him to any extent and is working as hard as any of those who have full organizations to their credit. It is also expected that a boom will shortly be launched for Senator Watson, of Indiana, who has sprung into national prominence for his bitter attacks on the federal trade commission for its activities against the) Chicago packers.
