Zionist problems of the day will occupy the major attention of the delegates at the La Reine Hotel here tomorrow night and will continue until Monday night. Delegates from seven states are expected, but since the bulk of membership is concentrated in New York and New Jersey, delegates from these states will be the most conspicuous.
It is regarded as a virtual certainty that Joseph Kraemer Newark Lawyer, who has rendered devoted service as Grandmaster during the past year, will be returned to that office unanimously.
WILL ATTEND SERVICES
Delegates arriving for the weekend will attend services Friday and Saturday in the Bradley Beach Synagogue. J. T. Kaplan, grand secretary of the order, will officiate and Mr. Kraemer will speak.
The convention will get under way Saturday night with a large public gathering, musicale and reception. The Grandmaster and grand secretary will deliver their respective reports. Harry Pine will greet the delegates as chairman of the convention committee. The Sons of Zion Sextet will give vocal selections and violin selections will be rendered by Miss Betty Etkin.
On Sunday the business sessions will be held, and in the evening, the convention banquet. Morris Rothenberg, president of the Zionist Organization of America, and Louis Lipsky, former president, are expected to be the principal speakers. Harry Grayer, counsel to the Order, will be toastmaster.
CONCLUSION MONDAY
The business sessions will be continued Monday, with resolutions, nominations and elections and installation concluding the convention in the evening.
Insofar as New Jersey is concerned, constituent camps in Newark, Bloomfield, Paterson and Perth Amboy will be represented at the convention.
Duly elected members of the national executive board from New Jersey are Jacob Convisser, Louis Weiss and Isadore Kronstein, of Newark, and Louis Bialer, of Paterson.
