New York Association Will Do Its Part, and Hosts Assert that Hundreds of Thousands of Visitors Can Be Accommodated. “The Hotel Men's Association of New York will do all in its power to bring the Democratic National Convention to this city,” said Mr. W. Le Jacques, president of the association and manager of the Murray Hill Ho- tel. “New York by every right {s entitled to the convention, and knowing this I can safely say that every member of the association of which I am president will work to this end. “T can say also that no body of men who will work with The Evening World will contribute more liberally than we will toward a fund to sup- port the movemeft. I can't say at this time and probebly will never tel) what amount the hotel men ‘stand ready to give, because such funds coniing from the association are never made public, When the time comes for contributions, however, you will gee that the hotel men will be far from backward. “I have been asked why the city of New York is entitled to this con- vention. There are many reasons. In the first place, New York has not had a national political convention since 1868, nearly thirty-six years ago. Surely it 1s time we had another such meeting. Then, too, our hotel In 1900, the Democratic accommodations are such aa will make comfortable every dele; Convention in Kansas City might as well have held its deliberations before | Ty delegate to the convention and every visitor who sees fit to come when the convention {s in session.

We can accommodate many more than the 300,000 guests. Of course, we have to figure on many thousands of persons coming here when the convention meets, because of the nillroad rates ot- fered. But at the same time thousands of persons who come fo New York visit friends, It doesn’t matter what. might be the number of visitors wh, would be in the clty during the convention, they would find ample feos) modations and the hotels would not be congested to any great extent. “But, aside from the accommodations we could provitle for the strangers, there {s Madison Square Garden for the convention to be held in. There is no other such convention hall in this country. The Garen alone should argue @ great point in favor of Now York. “The Democratic National Convention would be a great thing for thi: city. Persons who are opposed to its coming here, oppose because they know that should New York get one convention it would make the delegates so comfortable that it would get all the others in the future. That reason if no other, should make the New York public contribute toward getting the National Comunittee to vote to come here. Let me add again that the hotel men will do their share. When the matter js in shape for us to act J shall call a meeting of our body and take definite action.” W. G. LAUAND, Vice-President of the The Hotel, Men's Assoctation Hotel Men's Association, and manager ot atand b; of the Grand Hotel, said: ie ee slg Mewes ‘That National Convention would be FORD, Who was forniorly a great thing for the Now York people. ; #100, Is oF gee, Hiatal Mon'a, Associa: Tt would bring thousands of strangers | (at Mr. Ford will be’ most active in here.
