    WILSON STILL HOPES TO ATTEND EXPOSITION
    But Writes That Acute Situation May Prevent Him From Leaving Washington.
    ATTENDANCE IS INCREASING

    Excursions to come In To-Day From Several Points in North Carolina. Musical Organization Attracts Much Favorable Comment.

    Though the acuteness of the international situation, requires that he keep in closer touch than ever with the national capital, President Wilson still entertains some hope of being able to attend the National Negro Exposition, staged here under the auspices of the Negro Historical and Industrial Society. Giles B. Jackson, president of the exposition, received a letter last night from Senator Thomas S. Martin in regard to the matter, in which he said: " I have just received a letter from the President, written from Cornish, N.H., in which he says the German note has come at just the time that it seems likely to detain me in Washington, when I had hoped to be in Richmond to attend the Negro Exposition. I shall not entirely give up hope of being able to attend, but, at the present time, I am sorry to say, it looks extremely doubtful."

    "I should like very much to see the President attend to Exposition, and am very sorry that the prospect in that connection is not brighter."
