United States Lawn Tennis Association executives met at the Hotel Vanderbilt to decide on William T. Tilden's reinstatement after suspension for violating the player writer rule. With support from at least two members, there is strong hope for restoration today, though a final decision could push to Boston in February or the annual meeting.
