WILSON 81 301
SEAGIRT, N. J.. July Joseph F I
Tumulty secietary to Governor Wood- ,
row Wilson, heard during the confer- 1
enep of the national committee he:
yesteiday what is supposd to bi the'
real cause of the change in the vote
of Illinois delegates in the Baltimore
convention, it was due, according to
Tumulty, io the Incessant coaxing of
Mrs. Roger Sullivan and her son.
"You know young Sullivan, when ho
was going to preparatory school at
Lawrence," Tumulty told the governot.
"He was very fond of you. When your
name was before the country as a
candidate he went to ills father and
asked him to support you The • Id, ;
Sullivan. However did not think a?
his son did. and after the primaries
told the boy that he would have to
support Clark, the primary choice. The
boy won the sympathy of Mrs. Sul
livan and together they began a Wil
son campaign upon the leader.
"Tne upshot of It was that Mr. Sul
livan promised that he would use his
influence for you In case of a break
from Clark. When the break came
the Clark leaders tried to hold him
firm, but he had a promise to fulfill
and kept his word.”
No Chairman Yet.
Governor Wilson today was far from
a decision as to the national cam
paign committee chairman He will
not make up his mind until the last
minute.
“With regard to things of that sort.’'
he said, "I never make up my mind
until 1 announce my decision. When
I have heard everything that is to
be heard. I decide. I have made it a
rule to act on principle. I do not be
lieve in snap judgmt.r. When there
is a question like this to decide. I lis
ten to all arguments and argue It in
my mind. At present my mind is in
the midst of the argument."
William G. McAdoo, of New York,
the noted tunnelman. was closeted
with Governor Wilson for a long time
thi- morning. McAdoo is prominently
mentioned for the treasuryship of the
committee. Governor Wilson also
talked with Josephus Daniels, national
committeeman from North Carolina,
and Robert S. Hudspeth. who holds the
same berth from New Jersey.
Committee Meets in Chicago.

MIN CHURCH
HITS CONDITIONS
“A .Month in Babylon." a drama in
i four acts with four actors, will be pre
-1 er.ted by Dr. John E. White at the
'S' ond Brrpri'-t church on the four Sun
' days in July, according to a neat folder
issued by the church today. The an
nouncement bears i esemblrwee to a
th< .triial program and follows the
lines of the theater very eh<: ely.
Err, is a par'; of rhe program:
S' 1, so; July 7, shows the city of
Cabvlon. di. diet and moral? and
"religious f.,nati--ism in tin light of the
Baltimore < (invention."
Act 2, for July 14. shows “a huge brick
oven, a seething furnace, three yotint
men thrown in without resistance. Are
they the ancient fire-eaters? It was
three, now it is four. God loves men in
a hot place. The price we pay to keep
out of fire. Temptation is the modern
fiery furnace seven times heated.
Charred bones on the ash heap in At
lanta. How to be in the fire withou*
getting burned. No thanks to some
people in Atlanta that every young
man is not burned."
Act 3 reveals the gardens of Baby
lon. with the den of hungry lions. Act
4 shows the prime minister's bed cham
ber and a "<'. <J. D. from Daniel.” The
devil’s patent window fastener is in
troduced in this act, according to the
prqgra m.
The program doesn't say that the
scenery is by so and so or shoes by
somebody else, but that's all it lacks of
being a real theatrical souvenir.
ernor Wilson demurred along with a
few others and succeeded In having the
place changed to Chicago. The story
was unfolded this morning. Several
Eastern men were anxious for Chicago
After hearing that Norman E. Mack,
chairman of the committee, had fixed
upon New Yotk. Josephus Daniels, of
North Carolina, and several Western
men told Mack it was a poor choice.
"Os course." said Mr. Mack, "I have
no choice, but to announce the decision
as chairman. Most of the men tell me
they prefer New York.”
Daniels went to see Governor Wil
son. "One-third of the committee will
be represented by proxy." he told the
executive. "That would not he right,"
said Governor Wilson. "We want them
in person Who would hold these
proxies?”
"We don't know.”
"It won't do." said Governor Wilson
fii mly.
Then he sent for Mack and a new
canvass of the members showed that
Chicago was the favored city.

DIME DEWED
DN AUTOMOBILES
Judge \\ . D. Ellis, of the superior
court, blamed automobiles for the in
creasing divorce evil in Georgia, just
before discharging the jury at conclu
sion of court today. He said Georgia
is one of the leading divorce states.
"We are rapidly coming to the time
when newly married persons may sign
an article saying: ‘We. the undersign
ed, Mary Jane and Billy Thomas, having
been married six months and finding
the life tiresome, do hereby agree to
dissolve our marriage ties,’ and th»t
will be the end of it." he said.
"There are entirely too many divorces
granted in Georgia. If a husband does
the slightest wrong act, Some one will
suggest to tlie wife to sue for alimony,
and a divorce is the result, and if tlie
wife is not just what the husband ex
pected, he makes all kinds of charges
against her. and they are finally given
the legal separation, in a chart recent
ly published by the government the
numlier of divorces recorded for this
state Is alarming.
"Automobiles are largely responsible
for the increase. It is getting so thgt
many young married persons invest
their money in automobiles instead of
homes, then an unlooked for event
arises and both become dreadfully dis
satisfied with married life. They go to
the courts and there an end to it is
gained.” ’ ‘
