Geneva, Switzerland, July 26 (&) —The American delegation to the tri-partite naval conference sent a letter to the British delegation today asking for information as to when ‘W. C. Bridgeman, chief of the Brit- ish delegation and Earl Cecil, who are now in Lendon, are expected to return to Geneva to resume the con- ference. It appears that Mr. Bridgeman informed Hugh S. Gibson, chief of the American delegation, before de- parting for London early last week that he expected to start back on Sunday last, but since then no word has been received here from the British. All Anxionsly Waiting. In the meantime the British and Japanese delegations in Geneva have remained expectantly at their desks and it is understood that the American secretary of state, Frank B. Kellogg, is remaining in Wash- ington to keep in touch with the sit- uation. The impression prevails in confer- ence circles that there may be some division of opinion within the Brit- ish cabinet and that this ir the chief reason for the delay in the return of the British plenipotentiaries. Dominions Worried. An unconfirmed report has been received in Geneva that some of the over a possible rupture of the con- ference, have urged Great Britain not to be apprehensive over details of the Awmerican building prograta on the contention that everybody realizes that war between the United States and Great Britain can be con- sidered as a very remote possibility. This reported dominion attitude is an allusion to the fact that the American dclegates are insisting upon the right to build secondary cruisers capable of mounting a bat- tery of §-inch guns {f. they are obliged to restrict the number of their 10,000-ton cruisers to above twelve. The AX erican delegat.on takes the view that long distance communications and convoy duty | render cruisers limited to 6-inch guns useless as a defense against more powerfully armed warshijs which theoretically might be en- countered. Terms Are Outlined. From all appearances, the Ameri- can delegation is determined not to acept a treaty which it feels would seek to conceal right to maintain obsoleie warships and grant a Big total tonnage without appearing to do so. It is believed that this mat- ter may be arranged by openly giv- ing the signatories authority to keep so many thousand tons of obsolete warcraft for coastal defense and convoy duty until che time comes for thzir replacement, but only un- til then. Mr. Gibson has received numer- ous letters from Americans, chiefly women residents in Cleveland and Chicago and algo Georgia and Flori- da, urging him to stand for real limitation of naval armaments and not to return, as one woman put it, “with a foolish document.” Statement Is Mystery, 4 London, July 26 (A—The origin of the statement printed in the i that Sir Esme Howard, British am- been instructed to protest against the alleged unfairness of the Ameri- can press in dscussing the British position at the Gene¢va naval confer- ence, was somewhat of a mystery today.

Commissioners who have returned to Washington for a serles of meet- ings have decided that the elimina- tion of a considerable number of broadcasters is going to be auto- matically brought about by condi- tions which they have had under observation for several weeks. *“On June 15, the commission out- lined & new allocation of broadcast- ing waves for the use of all stations, and gave them 60 day permits to operate on the new schedules, missioner Bellows explained. that date, the operations of all sta- tions have been under check by the commission and by the commerte department radio inspection service.

Our re- ports indicate that a considerable group of‘>ven the largest stations Las been ~if their wave length per- sistently during recent weeks. “Further, when the commission renews licenses August 15 it will be only for a 60 day period since it is our intention to keep control of the broadcasting situation, “The places of the stations that may be dropped under the ruling will not be filled by the issuance of permits to new stations. The reduc- tion in the number of broadcasting establishments will all operate to im- prove radio service and reduce con- gestion and interference. The com- mission is going to continue refusing licenses for the establishment of new stations and under most conditiofs will refuse to allow the sale of radio stations.” JUDD WILL INVESTIGATE SPOSATO'S THREAT STORY Acting Mayor Does Not Contemplate Official Action Even After Making Inquiry Acting Mayor Willlam H.

Strike Vote Tonight A strike vote, if other scheduled parleys fail, is to be taken at the Erookiyn Labor Lyceum at midnight tonight when the “swing crews” are relieved for the day. A strike would, it voted at this meeting, become ef- fective at once and emergency trans- | portation would provide the users of | the subways and elevated their chief | means of getting to and from work. Meanwhile, the city continued marshaling its transportation forces to meet the expected tic-up of New York's two main travel arteries. 1,300 Extra Busses Arrangements have been made for 1,300 extra busses to parallel the east and west side subways, while municipal ferries will be run the length of Manhattan on the Hudson river.

DELANEY GIVES UP LIGHT-HEAVY CROWN Enters Ranks of Heavies— Commission Recognizes McTigue as Successor Jean, Pro- New York, July 26 (A—Because of his claim that he no longer can make the class weight of 175 pounds, Jack Delaney of Bridgeport, Conn., light heavyweight champion for the past year, today relinquished the title and was given permission by the state athletic commission to fight as a full-fledged heavyweight. Pete Reilly, Delaney’s manager, emerged from the commission meet- ing to announce the fighter's action, which, he added, paved the way for Delaney to fight Paulino Uzcudun, Spanish heavyweight, at the Yankee stadium on August 11 under the promotion of Tex Rickard. Both fighters already have come to terms with Rickard for the match. Mike McTigue, who was to have fought Delan Aug. 11 for the light heavyweight title, will be rec- ognized as the “leading contender"” and given title recognition by the commission if he defeats some “worthy opponent” this summer, ac- cording to Reilly and Jimmy Johns- ton, McTigue's manager. McTigue is ready to meet either Tommy loughran of Philadelphia or Paul Berlenbach, former champion, to demonstrate his championship claims. Delaney decided to give up the title, according to Reilly, when he weighed 178, three pounds over the cl: limit after several weeks of training for the McTigue fight. The featherweight title—vacated some time ago by Kid Kaplan of Meriden, Conn.—may go to another New Englander, Red Chapman, of Boston, as recognition goes here, providing Chapman fights a logical opponent in August. This state- ment was made by Humbert Fugazy promoter after a conference with the commission. Fugazy will promote the proposed title determination bout when an opponent is named. The New York state athletic com- mission “expects” that Dempsey- Tunney heavyweight championship fight will be held in New York this September, in spite of generally ac- cepted reports that it will go to Chicago, James A. Farley, chairman of the hoxing hoard declared today. Farley declined to amplify his statement or give any reason for his belief that the w: will be cleared for holding the next heavyweight title bout here, in view of the fact that New York has no arena to compare in seating compacity with those available in Philadelphia as well as Chicago. The general impression fs that any move to bring the fight here would be based on lifting the tick- et price barriers. The present “top” rice is $27.50, but Tex Rickard gures to charge $40 or $50 for the Dempsey-Tunney fight wherever it is held.

It was no time at all before everybody in the center of the town was cer- tain that he had been the victim of foul play. Next an alternative story sprang up to the effect that he had become despondent over his health and had committed suicide, al- though this was generally disbe- lieved by those who knew his health to be fine. Searching parties went out and scoured the section near where his car had been found, while others verified the fact that he was not at home and had not been there for several hours. Then came a tele- phone call from near White Oak to the effect that Royce's body, the head crushed in, had been found there. He had been murdered by two bandits, the informant stated. Other rumors came tumbling over one another and still the excitement grew. Then Constable Royce returned alive and unaided to the ken of Mainville and the search came to a sudden end, although he had to show himself in person to com- vince the townspeople that he was a flesh-and-blood being instead eof a ghoat,
