Chamber of Commerce ta and'thM been making every effort to have he $ 1 000,000 naval laboratory and expert .ntiil station provided for In the naval ap- I iroprlat'on act located In this city. This statement was mada today by How rd B. French, president of tho chamber, I in reply to criticism that tho acttvltlei of that body In attempting to bring tho prlza ' to Philadelphia havo not been apparent The most Important part of our work necessarily'' "has been secret," said Mr. French. "But wo havo been using every means at our disposal to 'bring about a dtclalon for this city. WILL CONTER WITH BDISOM The commltteo appointed In February to chow tho advantages ot Lcnguo Island ns a lite for the laboratory has accomplished a great deal. At present It Is awaiting ' an appointment with Thomas 13. Edison, chairman of the Navat Advisory Board, In order to present tho claims of Philadelphia to that body. Work of this kind must move lowly. Howover, public-spirited citizens may rest assured that tho representations tnade in behalf of this city will not bo weak." There woa an air of confidence In the Chamber of Commerce this afternoon, with the location of tho laboratory still an open question. Philadelphia's claims for tho slto are being contested by Washington and An napolis, and, It Is said, powerful interests In New York aro working for tho prlza. The secrecy which has characterized a large part of tho negotiations for tho olto was Imperative, bo that rival cities would not know Philadelphia's "hand," Mr. French -aid. CITT UP TO nCQUinEMENTS Continuing, ho said: "According to tho "Wan laid out by Mr. Edison, the laboratory should bo located at tidewater, where thero Is sufficient depth to permit a dreadnought to dock; that It should bo located near but not In a largo city, and that oecrecy should be tho govern ing factor In tho project "It has been tho contention of the Phila delphia Chamber of Commerce that Phila delphia measurod up tho requirements set by Mr. Edison and his colleagues, and that from a survey of the wholo situation Phila delphia was tho Ideal city for tho location of such a project. 'This view has been concurred In thor oughly by Senators Penrose and Oliver, Congressman Edmonds and. a number of publlo-splrltod citizens who havo beon striv ing to havo tho laboratory located here."

PHILADELPHIA SUlFRAGISTS AT ATLANTIC CITY CONVENTION MBS UWRENCE IEWS jBBtM NO INDORSEMENT OF ANY PARTY BY SUFFRAGISTS Continued from Tore One. for anything else, suoh ns passago Stato by State, Is a wosto of effort and time. Tho National Association has net or de clared itself very definitely, but has worked for both Stato legislation and tho amend ment but not for tho latter with tho em phasis that Is instanced by the Congres sional Union. THE THREE METHODS So beginning today tho delegates are going to talk out threo wayi of npproachi Thoy are going to consider gaining suf frage by tho congressional routo purely. They aro going to consider gaining suf frage by tho Stato legislation routo purely. They aro going to consider gaining suf frago by working at both routes. For tho first method tho argument will be presented By Mrs Ida Hustcd Harper, of New York, and Mrs. Qlcndower Eant. of Massachusetts. For tho second method tho nrgument will bo presented by Miss Laura Clay, of Ken tucky, and Miss Kato Gordon, of Louisi ana. For tho third or combined method the argumont will bo presented by Mrs Ray mond Drown, of Now York, and Miss Flor ence Allen, of Ohio. Thon tho floor will tnko up tho discus sion and tho convention will say what's what Mrs. Catt declines to anticipate the result Sho makes tho reservation, howotcr, that whtlo tho action thus voted on will dccldo tho campaign plan, It will not necessarily dotormlno adcllnlto election policy. That Is to be mado tho subject of future con sideration Mrs. Catt, lllto her predecessor, Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, Is against any procedure which proposes to enfranchise women by partisan methods. Tho reason for this la that sho does not want tho women voters, onco thoy all aro such, to feel any obliga tion to any ono party: Bhe wants thorn to be freo voting agents, without being under tha compulsion of gratltudo. So. no matter what action Is taken, It seems pretty certain that no candidate will get tho Indorsomont of this conontlon. On tho contrary, tho suffrage leaders hero feel they aro asking something that Is coming to them, not something they need eer after feel obliged for, and thoy aro going to try to Impress on both parties that all thoy want Is justice They havo nothing to sell. Thoro Is an Interesting curiosity aa to what President Wilson will havo to say to tho dclogates when he talks to them hero Friday night Thoso hero will venture a guess, for they nro not used Jto Presldont Wljson being a willing talkor. Every tlmo thoy havo over had a word out of him be foro It had to bo got with a long drawn effort, and tho lncldont cf Mr. "Wilson coming lieio of his own freo will to talk Is almost quieting. Tho delegates are already here In great numbers, although It la early, and tho real action may bo postponed until tomorrow. Tho meetings aro to bo In tho New Nixon Theater on tho Boardwalk, and with an ar chitect's ingenuity the planners expoct to take caro ot 3000 delogateo comfortably.
