MASS MEETING OF
G. 0,P. S ASSURED
Information Comes that Enough
Signatures Are Obtained to
Hold Harmony Conference.
SUGGEST NATIONAL DELEGATES
LINCOLN, Neb.. Jan. 11. (Spe
cial.) Information ronies that
e nough signatures have been obtained
ir tho different parts of the state to
cull for a republican mass meeting; to
rioject a set of candidate! for dele
gates to the national convention to
make the meeting assured. The call
fixes the date as January 19 and the
place at Lincoln and states the pur
pose to be to agree upon a delegation
that wlll represent the different ele
ments of the party in order to bead
orf a renewal of a 'factional fight.
It Is understood here that tho move
ment for this meeting originated In a
conference held In Omaha shortly before
the holidays at the office or State Chair
man Walter A. George, at which were
also present former Chalrmnn F m.
Currle of Broken Bow, O. W. Wattles of
Omaha, X. P. Hanson of Lincoln, anj
one or two others and that they also
had assurance from ex-Chairman Epper
son that he would be with them In the
proposition. ' It Is said tne plan contem
plates dividing the four delegates-at-large
equally between the regulars and
the progressives with Wattle, Currle,
Kpperson and ex-Mayor I.ve or somo
one else from Uncoln on the ticket.
The Idea of a harmony delegation has
so fur not evoked any special hostility, I
although I. D. r:-ans of Kenesnw had a
letter In the Journal, protesting against'
the names mentioned, for delegates-at-'
large and aUKftostlng. another set of!
names, almost ull of them bull moosers.
It remains to be seen, therefore, whether j
the mass meeting will be sufficiently rep- '
reaentallve and Itself harmonious enough
to produce a harmony ticket that will
spell harmony In the primary.

News agency establishes the fact that

The rorto Said was torpedoed in the

pursued the submsrlne which escaped, al
thought It was believed to have been
