NEBRASKANS TO
WELCOME BOYS
WHEN THEY LAND
With Suffrage Amendment
Out of, Way Congressional
Delegation Will Greet
89th at New York.
Washington,, May 20. (Special
Telegram.) Should the vote on the
woman suffrage amendment be tak
en tomorrow in the house, as now
seems likely, the entire Nebraska
delegation in congress, with the pos
sible exception of Senator Hitch
cock, will go to New York at mid
night to extend a iwelcome to the
Nebraska boys, members of the
89th division, who are due to land
Thursday tmorning at Hoboken from
the Leviathan.
In addition to the congressional
delegation, Governor McKelvie is
now speeding east to be on hand at
the homecoming of the boys from
the prairie state, while a large com
mittee of Nebraskans under the
chairmanship of Norris A. Huse is
doing everything possible t give
.the soldiers a rousing reception.
Huse Sends Invitation.
Members of the Nebraska dele
gation today received the follow
ing telegram from Chairman Huse
of the Nebraska welcome commit
tee. New York:
"Invite you to join them with
Governor McKelvie to meet the Ne
braska men of the 89th division who
return Thursday on the Leviathan,
which may possibly arrive at 7 a. m.
"Get in touch with Nebraska head
quarters, 125 West Forty-second
street, as soon as you get to New
York."
This telegram was supplemented
by one from Governor McKelvie
under a Lincoln date, who stated:
"Leviathan bearing troops of 89th
division, due to arrive in New York
May 22. Other transports will fol
low at frequent intervals. Plan
reaching New York on 22d."
Depends on Vote.
If the vote on the woman suf
frage amendment should happen to
be postponed until Thursday, the
Nebraska house members will not
go to New York, although they are
all anxious to greet the boys who
have played such a splendid part in
the European war.
Senator Norris stated he would
not go to New York if the legisla
tive situation on the suffrage ques
tion prevented his colleagues from
joining in the demonstration in
honor of the Nebraska boys' re
turn S

000 bonds to pave 115 mile of
D uglas Cvunty roads.
