would go to a meeting elsewhere. I do not think any would 

 go to New York City to join our organization. 



Mr. Hallauer: I feel the same as Mr. Bonney and Mr. 

 Cook. 



President Greffrath : I had a line from the Chamber of 

 Commerce of Syracuse and made a reply to this effect: While 

 I thanked them for the kind invitation and while I personally, 

 so far as convenience was concerned, would sooner see the
