...Tennant of the New York Evening World and Marc Rose of the Buffalo News; also Editorial Writers Walter Lippmann (World) and Rollo Ogden (Times); also Vice President Frank R. Kent of the Baltimore Sun. Among notable absentees was Editor Arthur Brisbane of the New York American, chief of the Hearst press. Mr. Brisbane was in Albuquerque, N. M., that evening.
