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.

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. 100 DEAF CHILDREN ENJOY CELEBRATION AT COLLEGE PARK Writers of motion picture scenarios would have had a great opportunity to study pantomime acting at a picnic at College Dark yesterday.

I 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.” ’ ‘ 11
