In a letter to W. B. Keziah, '

Chamber of Commerce, Senator
r. VV. Bailey is clearing up the
ocal difference that arose over i
the selection of delegates who (
were to extend an invitation to ;
President Roosevelt to fish in ;
North Carolina waters. <
At the outset Senator Bailey i
vrote Director Bruce Etheridge .
>f the Department of Conserva- '
lion and Development, advising ;
lim of the President's interest '
ind suggesting that he select ;
lelegates from "Oregon Inlet, >
rlatteras. Ocracoke, Morehead ,
Sity, Beaufort and the Cape Fear
vaters, especially Southport."
Elsewhere in the same letter
:he Senator advised Mr. Ether- '
dge that he had informed the
President that the only harborage
for his yacht was at Morehead
"ity, Beaufort or Southport, "es- ,
jecially Southport". '
It seems that the upper coast
folks took strong exception to
Hr. Bailey saying "especially
Southport". On the other hand
Southport and Wilmington people
objected just as vigorously
o seven delegates being selected 1
rom the upper coast and only 1

dge is understood to have named

advised W. B. Keziah, executive

that he hoped to have
