An interesting contribution to po- recently written to the New York Times by W. W. Abell of Baltimore relative to what he considers the real medium through which the nomination of Woodrow Wilson for President in 1312 was effected. Mr. Abell says that Mr. Tumulty's arti- cles on the subject of his former chief's political career will be de- fective if they do not refer to Robert Crain of Mount Victoria, Charles icounty, Md., as the man to whom Mr. I\Vlhon owes that nomination. Offered Certified Check. Mr. Abell points out that when in 1911 several cities were contending for the democratic convention of 1912, the contest finally narrowed down to Baltimore and St. Louis. Mr. Crain, bent upon securing the honor for the chief city of his own state, per- conally ralsed a _subscription of $100,000 in cash, and “when the time came for & show-down between Bal- timore and St. Louls, representatives of St. Louis appeared before the com- mittee with a promise to pay $100.- 000, but Robert Crain appeared witlt a_certified check for $100,000, which check was accepted, and Baltimore was selected as the democratic con- vention city for 1912” Mr. Abell continuesy “Had St. Louis been.selected, Champ Clark would have, in all probability, been nominated, he being & congress- man from Missouri and one of the ading democrats in the House. “Woodrow Wllson's nomination in was greatly accelerated by en- vironment and the influence of this environment upon the delegates, in these respects: The population of Baltimore and Maryland is heavily represented by Virginians. Woodrow Wilson was bogn in Virginia. Wood- row Wilson attended Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. In different parts of the convention hall Hopkins students of that day, Hopkins stu- dents of Wilson's day, and Virginia- Maryland citizens were present at all sessions. “All over town, in hotel lobbles and in the convention hall, these Vir- ginia-Marylanders and Hopkins grad- uates and undergraduates talked nothting but ‘Wiison’ Further, in the convention hall speeches, resolu- tions and remarks of presiding officers and delegates were _inter- rupted by cries of ‘We want Wilson,' ‘We want Wilson,’ ‘We want Wilson." Sftect on Delegates. “Naturally, delegates being human local newspapers being friendly to Wilson's nomination—Mr. Wilson beings a Hopkins man, a resident of Baltimore while at Hopkins and a native of Virginia—these cumulative conditipns created an atmosphere on the streets. in hotel lobbies, in clube nd in the convention hall that ally had an effect to over- ce Champ Clark, Oscar & erwood, Judson Harmon, Thomas shall and others to such an nt that, one by one, their strength ecssened in the convention, and Willlam Jennings Bryan, seeing that he himself could not be nominated and that the above-mentioned candi- dates were losing strength, used his influence to nominate the gentleman he was pleased to refer to as Dr. Wilson. “From the foregoing it will be seen that if Robert Craln had not pre- sented the certified oheck democratic natlonal ocommittee the convention would not have come to Baltimore, and the probabilities are it would have gone to St. Louis, and Woodrosw Wilson would have had small chance of being the successful nominee in the convention of 1913, and later in the convention of 1916.” —_— RESULT OF RESEARCH. Dr. E. L. Hewett Describes “An- cient People of Chaco Canyon.” Dr. Edgar L. Hewett, director of the School _of American Research of Sante Fe, N. M., gave an illustrated Hecture on “The Anctent People of {Chaco Canyon, New Mexico,” before the regular meeting of the Archeolog- {ical Society at the r ward H. Everett, 1606 23d street. Dr. | Hewett, who has been conducting ex- {cavations for several years in the Chaco canyon, described the “house of a thousand rooms,” which he has been uncovering. He also exhibited colored slides lllustrating the paint- ings of modern Pueblo Indians, who are wroking to recover the lost arts of their race.
