Although a number of state del
egations held informal group con
ferences today, they took no action
on the much discussed "blacklist"
question, and Mrs. J. C. Peabody,
the state regent of Massachusetts,
where the question first arose, cat

of such a document. The blacklist
was said to contain the names of
many well known speakers.
Mrs. Theodore Hoover, sister
