Unconfirmed reports that Secretary of te Kellogg and Hugh V newly appointed Minister to Switzes land, were being considered by Presi- dent Coolidge as prospective repre sentatives of the United States at the Geneva conference on limitation of | naval armaments, persisted today. Linking of the name ¢f Mr. Wilson with the Geneva conference followed the visit of the Minister to the White House today. Declaring that he is totally unaware of any move to send him to Geneva, Mr. Wilson told news: paper men he merely visited the Presi- dent to pay his respects prior to his departure Monday for his new post at Bern. He will arrive at his post a short time before the arms con- ference convenes and consequently would be in a position to attend it, either as a delegate or a personal ad- viser of the administration, if that is the President's desire. Reported London Plans. It understood_today that Mr. Kellogg’s name is being considered because of news from London that the first lord of the British ad- miralty, Bridgeman, and Lord Robert Cecil both will be members of the British delegation. Mr. Kellogg's selection as a representative, it was reported, however, is contingent upon the ability of the President and Sec- retary to decide upon some one else fitted for the mission. In view of the prominence of the British delegates it was said that the President is considering the advisabil- ity of having the United States rep- resented by one of its highest officials. | Democrats Are Considered. As a_second man on the American delegation it was reported that the President has given consideration to the names of leading Democrats, among them John W. Davis, former Ambassador to Creat in_and Democratic candidate for President. Provided the Geneva conferencoe is successful and treaties are signed be- tween the various nations, the in- fluence of a prominent Democrat would aid greatly in securing the nec ation of such a treaty by the United States Senate. Mr. Kellogg's health is hardly equal to undergoing an ordeal such as at tendance at the Geneva conference would entall, but it is understood that hoe has expressed his willingness to go to Geneva if some other official is not elected. Administration officials were reluctant to discuss the matter at all today, and while there is no official confirmation, the persistency with which these reports are circulating in State Department circles tends to give credence to them.

Copyright, 1927. BERLIN, May 11.—An airplane for everybody is the aim of the Daimler Co. of Stuttgart, whose latest 20-horsepower lilliput air- plane proving so attractive that a newly founded company has de- cided to organize an air line be- n Copenhagen, Dubeck and rlin, carrying passengers at the low price of $10 to $12. The tiny machine, with its 20- horsepower, 1,500-cubic-centimeter motor, is sold to the public at a littlo over $1500—hardly more than a small German automobile costs. Should the new air line prove popular, it is expected many Ger- mans will wish to become owners of these air flivvers, and it is hoped Germany may be the first to bring the airplane to the home. .
