Fairbanks to Be Notified Of Nomination August 31st.

The date -of the notification of Charles W. Fairbanks of his nomination for vice-president on the republican ticket will remain as August 31, unless something unusual should happen in the meantime. This was the statement Wednesday of Senator Sherman, of Illinois, who vas recently appointed by Senator Harding as the Speaker of the Fairbanks notification. “I received a telegram from Will Hayes last week,” said Senator Sherman, “in which he said the date for the notification had been set for Aug. 31, instead of Aug. 10. I told him this date would be satisfactory to me and I have made arrangements accordingly.” There has been some speculation recently as to the actual date for the Fairbanks notification. Apparently there never has been any definite announcement of the change of the tentative date from August 10th to August 31st. *
