Declaration Framed. ‘The gold bloc countries, with the ad- dition of Poland. meeting this afterroon. framed a declaration tfln they intend to maintain themselves on the gold standard “at the present parity and ! within the framework of the existing monetary laws.” The text of the declaration read: “The undersigned governments, con- vinced that maintenanée of their cur- rencies is essential to the economic and financial restoration of the world, for the return of credit and for the safe- guarding of social progress already ac- complished, confirm their formal will to maintain the free functioning of the gold standard in their respective goun- tries at the present gold parities and within the framework of existing mone- tary laws, and ask their central banks to remain in close contact in order to give to this declaration the maximum effect.” The declaration was signed by repre- sentatives of France, Holland. Italy, Poland, Switzerland and Belgium. Consider Adjournment. The gold bloc representatives were | understood to have further considered | the question of adjournment of the conference this afternoon. At the same time, the British delega- | tion held a meeting in Downing Street. It was arranged for the gold bloc members and the British to meet at 6 pm. (1 pm.

British Officials at Meeting. There was an interesting develop- | ment at the evening meeting of tl | gold state delegates with the British | when Montagu Norman; governor of | the Bank of England, and Neville | Chamberlain, British chancellor of the exchequer, appeared to represent Great Britain. These two financial suthorities had been reported to be at oppesite poles as to whether England should disre- | gard American policy and assist con- tinental countries to maintain the fid standard. Mr. Chamberlain is under- stood to have preferred to follow the American lead. while it was said that | Mr. Norman wished to help the .owfi bioc. In re to the President’s state- | ment, both Charles Rist, Prench expert, | and Dr. L. G. A. Trip, president of the | Netherlands Banks, two of the stanch- est advocates of the gold standard, | called upon peoples of gold standard countries to keep cool. Rist said confidence can not be shaken if the gold nations immediately pay out metal on demand, but he added that “it is a sign of mental disequili- brium in the geological museum—con- | ference headquarters—that these ques- | tions have to be discussed at all.” Trip declared that “States of the so- called gold bloe control sbout half of the gold coin of the world,” adding that “if they co-operate no danger can touch 1 them so long as the public remains cool.” Italy Won't Budge.

The gold group leaders were trying to get Great Britain to sign the decla- ration, but it was stated in well in- formed quarters that the British thus far have shown unwillingness to do so. M. Riet indicited to the press that the French delegation believed the Roosevelt announcement was directed mainly to France and that the French- men felt it keenly. France, he said, had not asked anything from Ametica. The proposal which President Roosevelt turned down was drawn up for Great Britain to snifn and the British passed it on for Mt. Roosevelt to sign, the | French expert asserted. In gold bloc quarters vigerous ad- verse criticism which was sometimes very sharp was heard of the Roosevelt message. In French circles it was said it was difficult to see how the French dele- gation could continue at the conference without causing a cabinet crisis at Pans in view of Mr. Roosevell’s strong lau- guage. Georges Bonnet, French finance minister and leader of the delegation, was expected to return from Paris day, but it was suggested that because of this important development he might remain for a cabinet meetin ADMIRAL DAY DIES; SAW LINCOLN KILLED Retired Officer, 92, Was Beated | Short Distance Away in Theater When Booth Fired.

WIMBLEDON, England, July 8 () —Ellsworth Vines, defending champion from the United States, won his quarter-final match from Roderich Menzel. giant Czecho- slovakian, 6—2, 6—4, 3—6, 6—3. in the men's singles of the annual Wimbledon play today, thus quali- fying to meet his old rival,’ Henri Cochet, in the semi-final round. By the Associated Press. WIMBLEDON, England, July 3.— | Henri Cochet, attempting a comeback | to regain his place at the top of the | tennis world, today advanced to the semi-finals of the Wimbledon champion- ships with a convinced four-set victory over the California glant, Lester Stoefen, 3—6, 6—4. 6—3, 6—1. Smarting under successive defeats at the hands of Ellsworth Vines, jr., and Jack Crawford in the American and Frenchi championships, respectively, Cochet has been taking Wimbledon setfously for the first time in years. By his victory he came within a step of a probable third meeting with the Amer- ican and Wimbledon champion. Vines plays Roderich Menzel of Czechoslo- vakia, in the other quarter-final bracket of the upper half of the draw. Crawford also advanced to semi- finals with a straight set victory over George Patrick Hughes, the English Davis Cup player who surprisingly de- feated CIff Sutter, third ranking Amer- fcan, in the fourth round. Crawford won 6—1, 6—1, 7—5. He will play the winner of the match between Henry W. Austin, England's last hope for the title, and Jiro Satoh, the agile little Japanese star. Queen Helen Wins. Mrs. Helen Wills Moody continued her evan way toward her probable sixth Wimbledon title with a 6—4, 6—1 victory over the Swiss star, Mile. Lolette Payot, in a quarter-final feature. The tri-color continued to wave high over Wimbledon as Jean Borotra and Jacques Brugnon, veteran defending doubles titleholder, defeated the Ameri- can students, Clayton Lee Burwell and David N. Jones in the third round, 6—4,6—4. Cochet was the old Henri, carlessly confident, against Stoefen and after he had straightened out his backhand— which was atrociously bad in the first set—the issue was hever in doubt. The giant Stoefen, a favorite with the crowds which filled the big stands to capacity, seemed bothered by the heat and had frequent Fesoures to the tap and the water bucket. Helen Jacobs Advancés. ‘The third set saw Stoefen visibly weakening. He'd go to the net, but then seemingly be unable to move to intercept Cochet's passing shots and the fourth set was almost a rout. Cochet’s confidence increased as the match progressed and he had all his old Juck, his drive for set point in the third bouncing off the net cord into fair territory far out of Stoefen’s reach. The Moody-Payot match brought Queen Helen and the best opposition she has had to date in the toumntent, and the plucky play of Mlle. Payot kept the galleries applauding. Mrs. Moody was not playing up to her best, but still was too much for the Swiss gi to_cope with. Helen Jacobs, the United States champion, and Don Turnbull of Aus- tralia, advanced to the third routid of mixed doubles, defea A. Jacobsen and Miss Burgess-Sinith of England, 4+—6, 6—4, 6—3.

It is moving northwafd at the rate of about 12 miles per hour. The center is very small and the winds not very destructive. The storm is expected to veer off | either to the East or West when it meets the area of high pressure now moving Southward, and for the next 24 to 36 hours it will be impossible to say whether this disturbance will strike the shore of the mainland. ‘The United States Engineers’ Office reported that the Potomac would rise about 4 or 5 feet in Washington, the crest of the high water coming some time tonight. At the present stage this might take the water above the sea wall in parts of East Potomac Park, it was said. At Harpers Ferry the river is about 2 feet above normal, flood stage there being 18 feet.

Mr. Hull, with several of his co-workers, drew up the Americans’ platform and submitted it in substance to Premier MacDonald, who is chairman of the Conference. The statement stressed these points: The domestic program of price rais- ing is paramount. International action which might in- fluence the American program adversely must be avoided.

Emphasis was placed in American | quarters that the matter concérned Mr. Hull, as Becretary of State, and not the American delegation. In some quarters it was considered probable that the gold countries might try to make it appear that Washington would be responsible for any impasse or breakdown, with the Americans con- vinced that the French and their gold allies, in their insistence on considering currency before anything else, are at fault, and the British, in between, biamed by both camps. Some in the American group were not so sure the withdrawal of PFrance and the other gold countries would wreck the conference. “If they must, then let them go,” one highly placed adviser said. “It won't hurt the rest of the world, which can then set about raising price levels and handling lesser and corrollary matters in their deserved place—last.
