- New York, Aug. 8. Following a se
cret conference at the University club
-tonights With National Chairman Mc
. Combs that pasted until midnight. Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson announced that
- Joseph W. JDavles of Wisconsin would
be in charge of western Democratic
headquarters to be opened in Chicago,
and that Henry Morgenthau of New
York would be chairman of the finance
committee; 1 The governor said that he
- and McCombs had agreed upon a treas
v urer, but would not announce his name
.- until they could make sure he would ac
cept th position.
Before going to bed, Governor Wilson,
who came to, New York more or less
mysteriously, and rather suddenly, made
-th following statement: - -
"I cam over to New York for the
purpose of having a quiet conference
with Mr. McCombs on general plans,
where we, would be most likely to be
.uninterrupted. It is the first oppor
' "tunlty 1 have had to talk over with
him the choice of a treasurer, a finance
committee and headquarters which are
to be established at Chicago. We have
agreed upoa the 4 uWv Jui have not
yet hd an opportunity to oommunlcate
with him, Henry Morgenthau of New
'.. York, will take the chairmanship of the
finance committee and Joseph E. Davles,
of Wisconsin, -will take charge. of the
Chicago headquarters. We also dis
cussed the committees other than the
campaign committee which are to b
formed and which will be made as rep-'
resentatlve as possible. That la a big
.... ger task which we did not finish, The
campaign committee Is making very sat
isfactory progress towards organize
tion and expects to be In full action
by the time the notification exercises
- take place."
.Chairman McCombs said:
' s - Xunora of THottoft "Vented. ' '
There is hot one scintilla of foun
dation for the report that there Is
7 friction 1n - the campaign, committee.
The members are working in- perfect
harmony , and ' with the best of "good
" feeling. The reason Governor Wilson
came to New York' was that he believed
he . Would be freer from . interruption
than at Sea Girt"
. When he arrived in the city Governor
v Wilson made his way alone and prac
tically unobserved to the University
club, where he was safe from intrusion
as he would have been In an airship.
The club officials had instructions to
admit no one to see him. Chairman Mc
Combs met him there and, it was pre
sumed, immediately went, into seclusion
With htm in a-private room.
Taster Progress Desired.
Among , those' people viho have been
. following closely the activities of the
Democratio campaign committee, the
theory for the candidate's visit is ad
vanced that Governor Wilson feels that

Every business man who was asked
his views took the stand that Portland
must have this Une if the city Is to
maintain its place as a seaport. A few,
while privately expressing the same be
lief, asked that they be not quoted be
cause they felt that as yet they had
not given the subject sufficient study.
Almost without exception, those inter
viewed declared themselves as favoring
the organisation of a local company to
own. the. steamship, line and charter the
"' steamers. Local ownership they thought
the best v-jr'to make certain that the

be permanent.

Sailing over the heart of the city In
long, graceful, undulating. -curves, de
scribing aerial figure eights, dipping
and gliding In a hundred amazing move

tention of thousands of people who
thronged Portland's streets yesterday
evening.
The winged machine was piloted by
Avlaaar Edwards, an.. &ernauycaL ex-
pert of country-wide . note. The ma
chine is of the biplane type and is one
of three stationed at the neighboring
city of Vancouver, where Aviators Ed

conducting a series of experiments.
The machine made its first appear
ance before Portland people- about 6:30,

Maintaining an altitude of about 600
feet, it swept down across the peninsula
and over a point directly above Sec
ond and Washington streets.
From there it pursued an elliptical
course around Portland and Willamette
Heights, across Macleay Park and, dis
appearing for a time across the hills
that separate, the Tualatin vaney rrom
the city, it remained hidden from view
a few minutes to make its reappearance.

Washinrton, D. C, Aug. 3. Following

management of the line I believe neces
sary if its permanence is to be as
sured. Otherwise, at the end of a few years
we are likely to be left in the lurch by
the outside steamship companies, Just as
we have been In the past. I think the
gentlemen who have subscribed to the
fund for such a locally owned steam
ship line are exceptionally broadmlnded
and liberal cltiaens. Their policy, I am
sure, will be successful as a business
venture.
C. C. Craig,, of Slausson-Cralg Co.
Some persons have the Idea that a di
rect Une of steamships from Portland
to' the Orient would benefit -only the
big shippers and Importers, and would
matter hothlngto the ordinary, busi
ness man and citizen. This Is a grave
and dangerous mistake. Failure to es-
ftabltelr - this steamship line means
vastly more than the loss of the line
Itself It means the decline of Portland
as a seaport and commercial center, hnd
the inevitable diverting of business
elsewhere. Depreciation In property
values would be one of the first re
sults. Must Pavor Railroads.
Before any arrangement Is made with
an. out hide steamship company like the
Wuterhouse line for continuance of
steamer service, 1 believe "that every ef
fort should be made to form., a local
company to own 'the line, though not nec
essarily the steamships, which could
bo chartered for a long period. From
study of the situation, I am convinced
that an Independent locally Owned line
Is tho proper solution.
