By the Associated Press. TOKIO, October 28.—Concerned because of a “possible misinter-| pretation” of Russian military op- | erations, the Japanese foreign minister, Baron Shidehara, dis- patched a “friendly note of warn- ing” to Moscow today requesting the discontinuance of troop dem- snstrations along the Manchurian- Siberian border. i The Russian demonstrations, | the note sald, were causing an| unpleasant effect upon Japanese as well as Chinese troops in Man- churia. The Japanese consul at Tsitsi- | har, Western Manchuria, reported | that between 20,000 and 30,000 Russlan soldiers were concentrated ‘west of Manchull and in the vicin- | ity of Pogranitchnaya.

PRESIDENT’S DECISION | EXPECTED IN SHORT TIME George P. Hoover, Lesh, Barse, Sleman and Rover Also Studied for Post. BY J. RUSSELL YOUN Daniel W. O'Donoghue, for 30 years a practicing attorney here and formerly | president of the Bar Association. Is | known to be under serious consideration by President Hoover for appointment as an associate justice of the District Supreme Court to fill the vacancy caused by the death last July of Pred- erick L. Siddons. President Hoover is understood to have before him several other names of local sttorneys, who have been stud- | { fed carefully by the Department of Jus- | | tice, from which to make his selection. | It is understood, however, the name of | Mr. O'Donoghue stands at the top of | the ust. Others Are Considered. | Among the others known to have | | been under consideration by the At- | torney General are George P. Hoover, {Paul E. Lesh, George P. Barse, Paul | Sleman and Leo A. Rover, United States attorney for the District. Inasmuch as the Attorney General has gone very carefully into the quali- fications of Mr. O'Donoghue and the others of the selected list, the impres- sion is that the President will make a decision without any great delay. It is thought possible that he will an- nounce the appointment within the | next 24 hours, and the indications are that Mr. O'Donoghue will be chosen. It will be a recess appointment. When the Senate is reconvened in December the appointment will be remade, and the nomination referred to that body | for confirmation, The purpose of the | President’s making a recess appoint- ment instead of waiting for the Senate to be in session is to fill the vacancy | ion the District Supreme Court bench | | without further delay. It was pointed out that the business of that court has | been increasing all the time and that it is best to bring the court up to its ‘!uu quota as soon as possible. i Never Before Mentioned. ! The announcement to the effect that {Mr. O'Doncghue is being so_serlously considered to succeed the late Justice | Siddons, will come as a complete sur- prise, Etlcullrly because this lawyer's | name never before been mentioned in connection with the filling of this place. As a matter of fact, Mr. O'Doncghue has in no sense been a candidate. It is understcod that it is | with some reluctance that he consented | to permit bis name to be considered in | this connection. It is understood that | the Attorney General has been very | favorably impressed with Mr. O'Don- | oghue's long record as a practicing at- tcrney here, and that he is believed to possess the various qualifications the Attorney General contends go toward making competent jurist. Mr. O’Donoghue, who has practiced law in this city since 1900 without a | partner, has never held a public office of any kind, and never been a candidate for the bench. Although a Tesident of Washington he is described as a Re- publican in his political sentiments. While he is not indorsed or recom- mended by the local Republican or- | ganization, it is_thought possible that | the latter will offer no objection to his | election. | Native of Georgetown.

LONDON, October 28.—Prime Minister J. Ramsay MacDonald, swept into Parllament by the landslide which gave the National gov- ernment more than 400 seats in the new House of Commons, won by nearly 6,000 votes in the Seaham Harbor constituency, where the official Labor party repudiated him a month ago. Running as the National Labor candidate, he defeated the reg- ular Labor party’s nominee and snowed under a Communist opponent. His victory left Arthur Henderson, who succeeded him as the Labor chief, the anly rnny head not sent back to the House of Com- mons. Stanley Baldwin was returned unopposed; David Lloyd George won, though his old-line Liberals in the House will number less than half a dozen; Sir John Simon, chief of the Liberals, who broke away {from Lloyd George, won by a substantial majority. Largest Majority Since 1832. The Conservatives, with 597 returns available, had 463 of the 615 seats in the House. So large a majority has never before gone to a party. The largest heretofore was in 1832—just a century ago—when the Lib- !erals had 370 seats in the House. The party standing in the House of Commons, based on 597 re- turns, was as follows: Conservatives, 463; National Labor, 13; Na- tional Liberals, 65; L!:{id rge Liberals, 4; opposition Labor, 49, New Party, 0; Communists,-0; Independents, 3.

The party’s sensational gains probably will throw a new set of problems into Mr. MacDonald’s lap, and he indicated as much today when the early returns clearly showed the sweepu;g Conservative victory. His first statement was to the effect that the victory was to the National government and not to individual parties. ‘The prime m;n?’tgrl own constituency at Seaham Harbor gave him a majority of 5,951, Arthui Helylderlon's Labor party was crushed, and “Uncle Arthur” himself was defeated in his own district. Before the election it was predicted that Labor might lose 100 seats at most. With half the re- turns in today the party had dropped more than 140 and the tide 'vn still set against it.
