Deneen's lead over Senator Medill MeCormick to 2,989, the narrowest margin for the republican senatorial nomination since returns began coming in from the Tllinois primaries Tuesday. This nar- row lead made the result more doubt- tul than ever, with greater indica- tions of 2 judicial recount. Coolidge Far in Lead. President Coolidge continued to hold a huge majority over Hiram | Johnson for republican presidential | preference, which, it was indicated on the face of the returns, would be upward of 150,000, William G. Me- Adoo was unopposed for the demo- cratic presidential preference, al- though delegates-at-large to the democratic national convention who are opposed to McAdoo were nominated.

Possibility of a legal battle result- ing from the contest loomed today when it became known that the Mec- Cormick forces had retained counsel to take charge of their interests, and Deneen managers notified their gents in the missing counties to teh any moves before local can- vassing boards. Reports came of sev- eral precinct canvassing boards seal- ing up ballots and taily sheets and delivering them to county clerks without, reporting the vote counts.

Auxiliary Seeks Hospitalization for Tuberculosis Victim. Friends of Mrs. Pear! Harrison of Clarandon, Va., mother of three chil- dren, who has been pronounced tu- bercular at Georgetown LUniversity Hospital and must be removed else where, today were awaiting develop- ments at Roanoke, Va., where the American Leglon Auxiliary is seek- ing her admittance to the Sanitarium. An official of the American Legion explained today that Mrs. Harrison would not be allowed to remain at Georgetown because the rules re- strict contagious disease cases from wards. For two reasons the only other place in Washingtorf to which she could be taken is closed to her— h_»raum the Washington Tuberculocis Sanitarium, at 14th and Upshur ftreets, not only has a waiting list of patients seeking admittance, but also does not receive patients who have not been residents of the Dis- trict a year. Accordingly, friends of the fami started seeking _hoepitalization Mrs. Harrison. The American Leg: Auxilfary communicated with the Ro- anoke chapter of the auxiliary and favorable response is expected to the request that since the stricken wom- an is a resident of Virginia she be admitted to the Catawba Sanitarium. ——— WORLD’S EXCHANGE DICTATOR EXPERT’S MOST STRIKING PLAN ontinued from First Page.) for ion « of & novel character, e solve Yy experience.

American financiers would be requested to undertake such a loan for, two reason, first, that the money would be absolutely secure be- cause the loans are so mall that Germany would In no event fail to imeet them, and secondly, because the purpose of the loans would aid to the solidity of the international fab- ric of finance. Interest of 513 Per Cemt Likely. The interest rate would probably be 51 per cent, but such details would depend on the state of the money market at the time and the judgment of the bankers having the transac- tion in hand. The remainder of the 1oan would be distributed in London, Amsterdam and such other markets as were in a position to participate. The proposed elevert milliards of gold marks in 5 per cent railway bonds would be unlikely to come upon the investment market for a long time | or not until the value of the bonds {had proved by the regularity { with which their interest and sinking fund payments were made. They presumably would be distributed among the debtor governments. 1t was frequently suggested during the experts’ discussions that, so far as France was concerned, they might be underwritten by the French government and ex- changed for corresponding amounts of the short-term floating debt. The delays during the last three or four weeks in the completion of the experts’ report api to have been due to the long study of the plan for the bank of issue set forth in the annex.
