Whshihgton, Feb. 6—The Dem
ocrats chose Chicago, a center of
pro-third term activity, as their
1940 convention city todsur and
left it to National Chairman
James A. Farley to get the date,
(reeumably after he learns when
the Republicaae will meet.
Theee decisions were reached
dt an- excHed ai^ 'stJtoetlmes ^r--^
bnlent meeting of the party's na
tional committee, which saw
Houston, Texas, in Vice Presi
dent Garner’s o-wn state, vainly
offer 8200,000 for the conven
tion, 860,000 more than Chica
go’s bid.
Chicago’s nearest competitor,
in fact, was Philadelphia, which
also offered 8160,000. For a mo
ment, It appeared that Philadel
phia might win, but then mem
bers from western elates who had
cast their votes for San Francis
co and, in some cases for Hous
ton, switched to the Illinois city.
Ttie final count was Chicago 48,
Philadelphia 38, Skn Francisco 7
and Houston 2. One of the last
t-wo votes was cast by Garner
himself.
After the meeting, Farley told
newspapermen that he under
stood President Roosevelt himself
favored taking the' convention to
Chicago. He .Indicated he would
announce the date for the big
party meeting after the Repub
lican national committee selects'
Its time and city at a meeting
here on February 16.
Chicago, the scene ot Presidenit
Roosevelt’s original preBidenttal
nomination in 1932', is also the
home of the powerful Kelly-Naah
Democratic organisation which
has taken a foremost position in
the move to draft Mr, Roosevelt
for an additional term.
Today’ll meeting -was. notable,
too, for a warm exchange of fe
