I Washington, Jan. 14. The con
itest of choice of a city for the 1924
democratic national convention in
June, warmed up today as democratic
.leaders gathered for the national
committee meeting tomorrow, while
beneath the surface the interests of
presidential candidates also were dis
cussed with growing fervor.
All disclosed bids for the conven
tion city were topped with the an
nouncement that San Francisco
would present a cash offer cf 2 hun
dred thousand dollars plus free use
of the civic auditoi ium, where the
1920 democratic convention was
held. Chicago was said to he pre
pared to duplicate the 121 thousan I
dollar offer which failed to land the
republican convention and New
York's delegation was reported ready
to put up 1 hundred thousand dol
lars cash plus all expenses of the
convention and national committee.
St. Louis backers said they were pre
pared to match the financial induce
ments of all rivals.
As a prelude to the national com
mittee's session tomorrow, women
members held several meetings to
day to map out feminine activities in
the coming campaign. Thirty-three
of the fifty-two committeewomen
were present. Mrs. Emily Newell
Blair of Tennessee, vice chairman of
the national committee, presided and
the women workers discussed plans
to increase the number of women in
the 1924 convention. Four years ago
they had ninety-six delegates and
202 alternates.
Formation of democratic women's
clubs, schools for speakers and work
ers and measures to roach the fem
inine voter this year also were dis
cussed. Political figures big upon the
rlemocritic screen were prominent in
