The convention. which will name the successor to Hon. George Drew, will be held in the Colisc um. an arena-like building on the grounds of the Central Canada Exhibition which housed Liberal and Conservative conventions in 1910. Mr. Drew. who resigned 12 days ago because of ill health. Was named leader there eisht yew! ago.

A few hours before Ottawa was chosen, the city's board of control voted 2 to l against tendering an invitation for the convention to be held here. Mayor Charlotte Whit- ton. a prominent Conservative

member, cast the deciding vote. Winnipeg had tendered an invita- lion.

-CHOICE NOT CHANGED

The party executive rueellnb I" tended by some 50 of its mull- bers..decided that the olco 0! voting delegates for the conven- tion will be on the same basil II in 1948.
