He had previously announced his in

- but the members ' from 'he) - Weetera
, and Southern states had aot agreed
upon any plan of actios until today.
It was indicated in this correspondence
'VTadnesday that the close of the week
would find a group of Southern Sena
tors l conference and that possibly
i by the first of the week the South and
I West would jointly get together. It la
possible that such a .conference win
yt be held.

tary Houston and by Governor Hard-
' ' ing, of the Federal Benerve Board,
' it ia believed- that President Wilson
will not, oppose the r-establishment
