In early 1915 the issue resurfaced when a group of about 100 tennis players signed a petition in favor of the move, arguing that most tennis clubs, players and fans were located in the New York area and that it would therefore be beneficial for the development of the sport to host the national championship there.
I begyndelsen af 1915 kom spørgsmålet op igen, da ca. 100 tennisspillere underskrev en begæring til fordel for flytningen, og spillerne argumenterede bl.a., at de fleste af tennisklubberne, -spillerne og -fansene fandtes i New York City-området, og at det derfor ville være en fordel for udviklingen af sporten at afholde det nationale mesterskab der.
