Harmon declared today. "It was an appeal to the pocket books of tho rich lo help finance the campaign this fall," said Mrs. Harmon, who is, chairman of a group of women which was left out in the cold yesterday by the men's City Committee.

Similarly, Mrs. John Wannmaker, 8d, secretary of the women's organiza tion, was made assistant secretary of tho Central Committee. Mrs. Harmon, who has been working 'with the City Committee for more than two years, was indignant over the rapid-fire work of Thomas W. Cun . Bingham, Thomas P. Watson nnd Sena tor Vara In speeding the recognition resolution through. "The City Committee leaders held a conference with mo yesterday afternoon, but It was a farce," said Mrs. Harmon. "An hour or more before that confer ence press matter had been prepared showing what action would be taken t the official meeting. There wnsn't a man there who was man enough to face us and explain things." ' Although resentful of the entire pro cedure, Mrs. Harmon refrained from personalities and In her remarks did not mention nny of the men or women lenders by name. "I Intend to fight." she said, "and I am going to appeal to the women of Philadelphia. I will hold a conference Monday with other leaders of the or ganization I represent and we will de cide on the next move then. "Tho City Committee was all wrong In Its action," she continued. "I had a great deal more to expect from it than the other group, as I nnd my asso ciates had been working with the City Committee for severnl years. I never asked it for nny favors." Mrs. Harmon said she believed the proper solution for the Qlty Commit.- tee to have worked out would hnve been to recognize both groups nnd .to have arranged for two vice chairmanships to le held by women. "But the committee probably took the action it did no orders from higher up," she concluded. "Howovcr. on n test at the polls numbers will win out over classes." When told of Mrs. Harmon's views, Mrs. Wanamakcr said she never heard of Mr. Harmon's organization. "The question of funds has never been discussed nt conferences between the women and the men," Mrs. Wana ninker stated. "I can't discuss the situation because I don't know Mrs. Harmon's organization nnd never even heard of it. "Any ono attending our meetings Mould find they are a mixture of the raassos ami classes,' all sorts of people, a compoeito group.
