CITY COMWIITTEE Watsen's Call for Meeting Te morrow Has Politicians Guessing as te Reason VARE IS MUM ON SUBJ'ECT Themas F. Watsen, chairman of the Republican city committee, has the poli ticians of the town guessing. He Has ordered a special meeting of the committee for 11 o'clock tomorrow. Special meetings of the Republican city committee are net se unusual, but it is unusual that no one Is able te find what the meeting is for. It is se in this rnse. Mr. Watsen failed te explain why the meeting wast te be held when. he was issuing the call, and these most nearly concerned refused te explain or comment. Senater "Kd" Vare refused abso lutely te divulge wliy the meeting was held. "1 cannot comment en it in ad vance," lie said. Other prbminent politicians weie Rimilarlv silent ever It. Speculation therefore in political circles is running wild. A geed many be.licve that the city committee may have n new broad side te fire nt the Moere administration. It is possible that the coming session of the Legislature has something te de with the meeting, or the selection of a speaker.
