Saturday afternoon, and thta te.'the

up Mr. Grundy's office In the Flaaaee
Building. Mr. Grundy was net taeee
but his alter ego, Chester Hill,, was.
There was-an Interchange of compli
ments and Mr. Hill invited Mr. Beed
te "visit our headquarters." t
It was then, I am Informed, that
Mr. Reed conveyed tbe information that
be did net knew about anybody's head
quarters. That he was out In the open
en his own responsibility. That he did
net recognize any faction or leadership.
rarticuiariy, newever, was ne desireas
of meeting Mrs. Warburton and Sen Sen
aeor Vnre.
As n result.there has been a shlftiag
of sentiment In favor of Majer Reed
among these te whom the incident was
related.
Of course, all the above may have
been a bit of well-staged political
comedy,- but these who xnew Majer
Reed will scarcely charge him with
being a knowing participant In any ue ue
ceuth or cunning bit of chicanery.
