CONVENTION MOVE S INDORSED Gans Starts Drive to Bring 1924 Gathering to Washington. Active efforts to bring the 1924 re- { publican convention to this city were i arted today, when Isaac Gans, presi- ident of the Washington Chamber of Commerce, instructed the secretary to prepare a resolution to be presanted at the meeting of the chamber at the Willard tomorrow night. The resolution will be laid before the chamber tomorrow night person- ally by President Gans. The political conventions should be held in the Capital city, Mr. Gans said, and now is a good time to con- vince those who say where they ahall be held that Washington is the logi- cal place. c As soon as the chamber and its committee on conventions act on the esolution, and there is every belief that both will act favorably, laying down of a program to get the con- vention here will he started. While efforts at first will be centered on the republican convention, Mr. Gans said, he also would propose that the democratic convention, too, be held here. He said that the new auditorium will be finished by that time, furnish- ing ample provision for the meetings. He added that the hotel accommoda- tlons here will be sufficient for those who attend such conventions, and the Shrine convention will show just how well the District can handle crowds.

IRECORD DEMIAND FOR FURNITURE Trade Hopes to Avoid Sharp Rise in Prices—Hotels Very Prosperous. BY J. C. ROYLE. Special Disp to The Star. NEW YORK, April 16.—Furniture is in greater demand today than ever before. Construction of new homes has crowded the furniture depart- ments of every big department store in the country. Retailers have been unable to meet deliveries, but manu- i facturers are firm in a determination hold off from pric advances as long as possible. They hope to ac- | complish this, either by eliminating from manufacture those articles in h the greatest cost has accrued or by bringing the volume of prod tion to to such a high point that the thigher costs will be absorbed in in- creased profits. Th executives of furni trade were agreed today that a cont certed rise in prices is unlikely, and say that no such rise is in immediat prospect. On the other hand, they have no hesitancy in admitting that they are worrie over the increased cost of plate glass, upholstery and hardwood. Prices for fall will not be announced by the manufacturers until _after the leading expositions anfl it will be waell toward July be- fore the effect of the recent advances in hardwoods will be definitely known.
