Information obtained in a four-min- ute telephone conversation with a| representative in Europe yesterday prompted Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley, chair- man of the National Woman's Party, to appeal to President Hoover to cable United States delegates at the codifica- tion conference on international law, instructing them to do their utmost to postpone a decision on the question of nationality as it relates to women. Talking with Miss Doris Stevens, chairman of the Inter-American Com- | mission of Women, who is now at the | conference in The Hague, Mrs. Wiley leayned that an unfavorable vote may | be returned if the “reform measures | sponsored by various women's organi- | zations are brought up for final action at this time.
