These conferences will take place upon his return to Marion in December, and will be individual and personal, with the main purpose of learn- ing what policy may enlist united sup- port Senator Harding means to aovid any unseemly anticipation, but he feels it wholly becoming to get an expression en- tirely free from campaign bias, and to get it at the earliest possible. d It is the first step toward the meeting of minds of whieh Senator Harding so_frequently spoke during the campaigu. He did not make public any list be it will not be complete before his vacation ends. S“enator Ha further announced that no consideration would be given to a cabinet during his recreation perind.” Officials close to the president-eléct called attention that in his campaign speeches he promised repeatedly that the ‘meeting of minds” would begin as soon s possible after his election, and that he als frequently declared that the pur- pose of his consultations would be, fiot to suggest any plan of his own, but ‘to as- sortain how divergent views might be so prought into harmon: to nut a united aation behind him in his negotiations with sther powers. He also has indicated in his campaign speeches that irreconcilable opponents of the league of Versailles, as well as its ardent supporters, would be numbered among those to whose advices he would hsten To the senite he promised to give a sharo of attention nroportionate to its powers in perfecting treaties. Although the president-efect has never named publicly any of those he will in- ciwle in his consuitations, speculation of & wholly unauthoritative character has revolved persistently about a numbervof somspicuous figures who might answer to the description Mr. Harding has laid down. 8o far as the senate itself is concerned, thls undercurrent of gossip has carried frequently the names of such republicdn semators as Lodge of Massachusetts, shdirman of the foreign relations commit- tea; Knox of Pennsylvania, a former sec- retary of state and a treaty irreconcila- sie; Johnson of California, an irreconcil- able leader, and Lenroot of Wisconsin, a leadler of the reservationists. On the Semocratic side there has been mentioned, wmong others, of Senator Underwood of Alabama, the party leader; Hitchcock of Nebraska, who led the fight for unre- terwed ratification; Simmons of North :fl: and Robinson of Arkansas. those outside the senate, fre- quent speculative mention has been made »f former President Taft, a leader for in- e al peace and a supporter of the Vacation Trip This Morning. sing, former secretary of state and a member of the peace commission, nften quoted by Mr. l"“MmI‘.' in the campaign as disagreeing Wwith Mr. Wilson on some features of the Versailles covenant; Frank L. Polk, the state department's former under-seeretary; Chief Justice White, and George Harvey, the New York editor. There has been even less of speculation with regard to what women would be asked for advice in the making of the new plan for an international association. It is expected, however, that the senator will ¢hoose those who have been closely associated with public actiyities through- out the treaty fight so as ’to be familiar with the sentiments of their sisters re- garding ®* American membership in the league or any substitute for it. ‘Whether the tentative list of names was between Mr. Harding and Mr. Hays was not revealed. It was understood that many topies came up for discussion, how- ever, in the first mecting of the success- ful candidate and his manager since the clection. They greeted each other warm- ly when Mr. Hays arrived and as soon as there had been an exchange of con- gratulations the president-clect put hiv arm around the shoulders of the chair- man and, deeply engrossed in conversa- volked slowly over to Mr. 1st birthday and in explanation of the visit the president-elect aid tonight that e felt indebted to the chairman for a birthday party ahd so had asked him to be a guest here throughout the day. HARDING DECLINES WILSON'S OFFER OF A BATTLESHIP Marion, 0., Nov. 5.—President Wilson's offer of a battleship to carry President- elect Harding to Panama on his vaca- tion voyage was declined today by Mr. Harding. The president-elect wired to Washing- teh that although he was thankful for Mr. Wilson's courtesy he already had per- fected his plans for the. trip and had en- gaged passage south from a gulf port on a passenger steamer. The sailing plans of the Harding party have been the subject of, much negotiation Detween Harding headquarters and slcaml\!p companies and, although the first. impression of officials here was that of a battleship would offer a welcome solution, the senafor himself decided he would prefer to keep the booking agree- ment already made. He sent this tele gram to Secretary ' Daniéls, who 'had transmitted the president's offer: < “L most grate gy acknowledge ~your gracious telegran. in which' you. convey the president’s ‘thoughtful courtesy in di- ting a warship to be placed at my posal for a contemplated trip to Pan- ama along with the use of the Mayflower for conneetion at Hampton Roads. Please assure the president of my grateful ap- preciation of his consideration, but I can- not accept because I am traveling by ;ny:lroadbo(:k:d\'ncallcn point in Texas and ave to embark 1 for Panama. et S “I thank you also for your courtesy.” LATEST ELECTION RETURNS ON CONGRESSIONAL CONTESTS New York, Nov. 5.—Congressi elections Inthrée districts tonigne e not been officlally reported and with the ungertain trend that has taken place in the ¥ourth and Bighth distriets — of Tennessee the republicans still have a chance of adding to their record majority [? the new house. The twenty-third New York district, in which six election dis- Ir¥ts are fo be heard from, s § the republican candidate leading by ay- vroximately 2,000. The district at pres- ent is represented by Richard F. Me- Ciniry, democrat, and his cefeat is not yet accepted by the democrats as the misding districts are regarded as demo- eratio strongholds. e other districts remaining in because of the absence of D’fl:IL;AX r;:x‘ are the Eighth of Minnesota and . the ftth of Missouri, Later returns today from Tennesses in- dicated that W. F. Clouse, republican, was leading Representative Cordell Hull by less. than 300 In the fourth district but republican leaders were confident that the complete returns would show a plu- rality of at least 1,000 for Clouse. In the elghth district, ' incomplete returns gave L. A. Scott, republican, a small lead over Gordon Browhing, demoerat. The election of Hull and Browning was indi. cated in the early returns. In the districts that have definitely re- ported the republicans have elected 280 and the democrats 138, including the two Tennessec_seats which tonight were plac. ed in the doubtful column. The others elected include one socialist, one inde. pendent, one prohibitionist and one inde- pendent republican. LETTER TO LLOYD-GEORGE FROM IRISH PEACE CONFERENCE Dublin, Nov. 5.—(By the A. P.)—The Irish peace conference, whilch is an as. sociation of moderate. Irishmen of all parties seeking to solve the home rule problem, has written another letter to Premier Lloyd-George, _expressing the view that the situation has been materi- ally changed by the premier's latest pro. nouncement of government policy, and announcing the conviction of the con- ference that parliament as now constituted does not sufficiently represent the Irish people to frame am acceptable constitu- tion for Ireland.

Barnes, rmer director general of the Uniged |- States Grain Corporation, today appear- ed before the marketing committee of seventeen of the American Farm Bu- reau Federation offering opinion and suggestions on the subject of grain mar- keting, and outlining major influences on price fluctuations on trading exchanges. Mr. Barnes said it was his conviction that the present system of grain market- ing through open exchanges, by main- destructive losses on commitments. which would of necessity be taken in Wider margins of profits without exchange hedging. He urged the development of a better uaderstanding of “the great ex- changes and cooperation With them in developing their full service and elimi- nating their defects and abuses,”~and commended the committee for its tem- per to “lay aside prejudice and previous conceptions to learn the truth about bas- ic facts on’which scund marketing must proceed.” Touching '1pon recent declines in wheat vrices, which some agricultural”interests of the countey have claimed are unwar. ranted by ‘he existing supply and de- mand, Br. Barnes said that the Wheat producer had “escaped the full effect of deflation,” because of _ the ‘“cushion” found in future trading. He cited fig- ures tending to show. that the decline in 1 heat fvom ths peak post-war price to the current level has been only 18 per | cent. as against a decline of 68 per cent. in potatoss, for which tlere is no ex- change market. Similar comparisons re- veal declines of 55 per cent. in cotton, 47 per cent. in beans, and 46 per cent. in | barley, he said. Indications that the de- flation is worldwide in character and mot | confined American farm products alone, Mr. Barnes said, was found in the fact that impor - farm commoditi- :ch as sugar anc.# ce, fell off fro. W .o 66 per cent. fluring the same per.c In answer to a question as to whether it would be feasible for producers to market their own crops, Mr. Barnes said tte pres>it system maittsined a lower trade toll ‘botween producer and con- sumer than would be possible in any sys- tem which eliminated hedging and that in his opinion any organization of far- mers “for price fixing would not be de- creed just by the American public. ——— COX WILL NOT YIELD A SINGLE JOT IN PRINCIPLE | Columbus Ohio, Nov. 5.—Governor Cox, in his first statement since the elec- tion, tonight said that in spirit he was “as proud as when the fight started” and that he “would not retrace a step nor yield a single jot in principle.” Goyernor Cox's statement follows: “For the first time in ten years, the republican party is in complete control of the legislative and executive branches of the national government. Therefore, policy a8 to Statute-and administration is with it. Its task is no longer that of the critic but the constructor. It is my hope and Arm bellcf-that tre Cemocracy of the natlon will not attempt political sabotage. Tho comwntry. has scen quite enough of that. “We are in the midst of an emergency. and the nations every resource should be co-ordinate in behalt of the things that are heipful. So long as government exists, the principles of Thomas Jef- ferson will be the center about which human hopes will gather. Talk of a new party is absurd. One might as well dis- cuss the destruction of human emotions. “As essential as it has been to the welfare of the country in the past, the creed of democracy is more needed now than ever because recent events have made it distinctly the American party. “In spirit I am as proud as when the fight started. 1 would not retrace a step nor yield a single jot in principle. It was @ privilege to make the contest for the right in the face of overwhelming | odds. There is adistinct difference be- | tween defeat and surrender. The flag of democracy still flies as the symbol of | things more enduring than the passions; and resentments that come With the at-| termath of war.” \ FURTHER PREPARATIONS FOR INTERCHUECH WORLD MOVEMENT New York, Nov. 5.—Request that the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America call a meeting of various Protes- tant demominational organizations for De. cember or January to bring about “furth- cr conservation of the values of the In- terchurch World Movement” was in- cluded in a resolution adopted here at a conference of denominational leaders. The conference, which had been in ses- sion for three days with Bishop Thomas Nicholson of Chicago presiding, in its| resolution, named the following church | organizations which should be asked to Darticipate in the proposed meeting: Fed- eral Council of Chu of Christ in America, Some Missions Council, Coun- cil of Women for Home Missions, For- eign Missions Conferences, Federation o Women's Boards of Foreign Missions, International Sunday School Association, oCuncil of Church Boards of Education, and the reorganization committee.
