Crew, chairman of the Ite publican state committee. The er-gnul-ratlen program for the forthcoming t'easieh of the utnte lglHlaturc will be dljcuBsed. Senater Penrose enld re cently that he fnvercd the re-election of Rcpracntatlve Hpnnglcr, of Yerk, as speaker of the Heuse. Because of the overwhelmingly Republican control of the s(ate Lcglslnturc and the federal patronage at the disposal of the sena tor, politicians xald today that Senater Penrose's views would determine the speakership. A caucus -en the subject will be held and, according te present indications, a number of ether candidates will be in the field. Among these may be Duncan Sinclair, of Enycttc, nn ally of Ven Ven eor Crew; Hugh Dawsen, of Scrnnten, ald te be favored by the Sproul leaders : Geerge W. Williams, of Tiega, and James A. Walker, of the Forty-sixth ard, of this city. Senater Penrose s opposition te a constitutional convention and te the enactment of civil service for county offices, particularly in counties outside of Philadelphia, will probably be dis cussed also. ' It is possible, said politicians, that the Crew-Penrose conference will be followed by another between the sen ator and Jeseph R. Grundy, president ef the Pennsylvania Manufacturers' Association. The senator and Mr. Grundy will work together politically.
