i WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. The story
behind the Morgan hearing' is as
ahort as any ever told. It can be
written In one
word public
ity. The inquiry
started off like
the h e a d llne
grasplng grapple
of the century.
It is fairly well
known that cap
able Chairman
Nye" a unan
nounced purpose
la to promote
public sentiment
for his partlcu-
rUL .MALLON lar kind of neu
trality legislation. He opened the
bearing with a three-page stump
speech. Copies were available to the
press in unlimited o,uanltles.
7. P. Morgan has been a senatorial
witness before. He was prepared this
time with twice as many pages as
Nye. These were delivered In the
senatorial manner. Bu.t, what was
smarter, he began giving out ad
vance copies of bis speech confiden
tially to the press in New York two
days before. It was In most newspa
per offices when Nye started to
speak. Thus, he scored a mechanical
scoop on Nye snd got the headlines
In the noon editions for his side.
Nye's pals wept.
Mr. Morgan left the midget at
home this year, but, In all other
respects, his circus was bigger and
better tha never. A 40-room suite
was required to house it at & hotel.
His army of performers carried
brief cases filled with statements on
every subject Imaginable. Whenever
the senatorial Inquisitors asked
about a Trench loan or something,
he called upon his brief case carriers
for statement No. 182-J or 698-B.
These also were available In quanl
tles. The prize one, however,, was an
eight-page printed chronology of
events leading up to the World war.
Some of the events were printed in
bold-fsced type to catch the eye of
casual readers.
The AAA decision may have been
the most momentous since Dred
Scott, but the following day was the
quietest Washington has experienced
in a long time. The only reason you
did not hear a pin drop was ahat
most of the statesmen were afraid
to let .even a significant Idea fall.
The senate was not In session.
The house, at this momentous hour,
devoted itself to the most Inconse
quential of all business, the private
bills of congressmen seeking money

OF PARLEY PLACE
Opening Date Set for June
23 Farley Predicts Bit
terest, Dirtiest Political
Struggle Within Memory
WASHINGTON, Jan. 0. (AP) The
Democratic national committee late
today selected Philadelphia for the
convention to begin June 23.
Money talked.
The Quaker City bid $200,000 be
sides offering convention facilities
free.
San Francisco went the bid better
by 1.000; but other considerations
made It to no avail.
Chicago, with a $150,000 offer, was
soon left behind.
The last convention In Philadelphia
was when the Republicans 36 years
ago nominated William McKlnley.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 9. (AP) Chi
cago appeared to be leading Philadel
phia and San Francisco for the
Democratic convention this afternoon
as the national committee reconven
ed to make a choice.
Each city was allotted 30 minutes
to present Its bids. $150,000 being
the acceptable figure.
Chairman Parley announced the
conclave would meet June 23, two
weeks after the Republican conven
tion In Cleveland.
He was said by some to favor Chi
cago, but Philadelphia supporters
clung to their cause.
The committeemen got down to
business after a buffet luncheon at
the White House. Governor Eugene
Talmadge of Georgia, a Roosevelt foe,
did not attend.
Earlier he had frustrated an at
tempt to pledge "unanimous" com
mittee loyalty to the president.
He alone loudly called "Not" to a
resolution by Mayor Frank Hague of
Jersey City upholding the new deal.
The "ayes" echoed.
Chairman Farley warned the com
mittee the coming campaign would
be "the bitterest and certainly the
dirtiest political struggle that any
of us here can remember."
In an address broadcast, he fore
cast a campaign of "defamation" fin
anced by "the largest slush fund on
record."

today to select their convention city after hearing President Roosevelt
