MACHINE SEEMS INADEQUATE Promised Energy and Speed u., Not Yet Developed. NOBODY GREATLY EXCITED Air at Dayton Gives 'o Indication of Great Campaign Marion Uas Different Aspect.- BT MARK SULLIVAN. Copyright by the New Tork Evening Post. Inc. Published by Arrangement. COLUMBUS. O., Aug. 17. (Special.) Tour correspondent has lately spent several das at Dayton. In this con tact with the democratic candidate's home town one was conscious of sev eral marked impressions quite dif ferent from the preconceived ones based on the early and hasty news paper dispatches that came out of Dayton immediately after the nom ination. As to some of these Impressions dealing -with Cox's personal back ground and with the attitude of Day ton toward him one would rather wait for the maturing- and confirm ing of the impressions before at tempting to write them, but there is one quite definite impression which is shared by all the other newspaper men with whom I have talked. Neither Cox nor those , immediately around him, nor the democratic na tional committee has yet waked up to the fact that they compose one half of the great national campaign and that more than one month of that campaign already has pesed, less than three months remaining. Machinery Yet Inadequate. Cox, . so far, has done practically nothing toward adjusting himself to the enormously increased figure he Is before the nation, and neither Cox nor the national committee has done anything toward surrounding the can didate with a. machinery adequate to what is now expected of him. Cox is so obviously competent a person In practical affairs that hardly any one would be so rash as to say that he doesn't yet realize what has hap pened to him. Nevertheless it is a fact that the democratic campaign so far has been . conducted as if it were merely a local campaign for governor. No changes or additions have been made to the personnel around Cox In the way of additional secretaries or clerical help. His son-in-law, who is the executive head of his news paper, now seems to devote a good deal of his time to the candidate's personal affairs, but that is about all that has been done toward preparing for the increased mail and other mul titDdes of details that may be ex pected to pile up if the campaign as to be an energetio one. Nobody Much ISxeited. Ton occasionally observe Cox him elf telephoning about the time of trains and the like. His trips from Xayton to the places where he makttt speeches are not organized with any more careful preparedness than if he were a private citizen. All In all, there Is not in Dayton that air of many visitors, of piles of telegrams and hurrying messengers that one Is accustomed to associate with a candidate for the presidency. In a way, this lack of excitement Is attractive, but dopan t go with the kind of campaign that the democratic national committee must soon get under way if the full strength of the party is to bo brought out for Cox in November. It is in marked con trast with Harding's home at Marion, where the secretarial and clerical help taken on for the campaign al ready filU one house, and is about to overflow into another. For the most part, probably, this lack of or ganized expansion Is due to the change in the chairmanship of the democratic national committee and the fact no new machine can pos sibly get under way as promptly as the old one could have. Republicans Much Wlur. From the point of view of effective and businose-like organization the republicans were much wiser in hold ins i the chairman who had been in charge for the past two years. As to Cox himself every Impression you get is one or quicic competence, All his friends and associates picture him as extremely aggressive and his career would seem to prove that qual ity. His friends say that when he really gets going and puts his back Into the campaign, he is the Douglas Fairbanks of politics. Nevertheless, anyone who has been at Dayton re cently must have wondered whether Cox has yet realized the huge propor tions of the business of Impressing his practically unknown personality on a hundred ' million people within the space of 80 days. Cox undoubtedly has energy. Every body says that of him. Whatever he wants he goes after aggressively and generally he brings home the bacon, but for the purpose of the present campaign Cox has not'yet thrown the clutch Into high gear, so to speak. -, He still has the air of considering jyL.4uciuucd on Paa 2. Column 3.) Head of Democratic Committee Em barrassed by Chiefs Attitude On League Question. CHICAGO, Aug. 17. (Special.) According to newspaper stories ap pearing in Chicago today based upon democratic authority, the early- res ignation of George White as chair man of the democratic national com mittee will shortly be announced. The rumored disaffection between Chair man White and the democratic pres idental nominee. Governor Cox, is said to have had Its beginning shortly after Governor Cox visited the White House and announced . that he and President Wilson were in accord on the league of nations. The surprise occasioned by this statement was shared by Chairman White, who subsequently intimated in an Interview that Governor Cox's views on this subject would be ponsid ably modified in his speech of ac ceptance and that the league would not be the leading issue. In this speech Governor Cox accept ed the entire Wilson foreign policy and Mr. White found himself in an embar rassing position and sBarplV criticised by democratic papers. Since then there have been other differences of opinion, and the report ed intention of Mr. White to withdraw- has been accepted as a fact by prominent Chicago democrats, ac cording to reports published here to day. George Brennan, head of the ' old Roger Sullivan machine in Illinois, today said the report of Mr. White's resignation was "speculation." Else where It was declared there was fric tion in democratic councils. WOMAN SAVED FROM FIRE Man Breaks Down Door and Car- ries Mrs. E. Walsh to Safety. , VANCOUVER, Washl Aug. 17. The life of Mrs! Edward Walsh was saved last nignt oy Joseph Gillespie when her home burnedi to the ground, Mr. Gillespie broke, down the door to the house and carried Mrs. Walsh to safety. She was slightly burned.

Mr. Gillespie assisted her to climb in through a window and she retired. In about . 45 minutes Mr. Gillespie saw the Welsh home in flames and knowing Mrs. Walsh was there alone went to her rescue. AUT01ST ESCAPES TRIO Attempted Holdup Reported Frus trated by Speeding Up In Car. James H. Graham, automobile deal er, of 1671 Derby street, reported to the police last night that three men had tried to hold him up at East Eighty-second street and Foster road.

ODDS IN HARDING'S FAVOR Defection in Wilsonian Ranks Gives Edge to Republican. STATE IS BATTLE GROUND Democrats to Make Vigorous Fight for Electoral Vote Roosevelt Expected to Give Impetus. OLTMPIA, Wash,. Aug. 17. (Spe cial.) With the expiration last Sat urday of the time limit .within which candidates desiring to enter the pri mary election September 14 are re quired by statute' to file their declar- tion of candidacy, the Washington voter became the .objective In a polit ical battle which promises to be as bitterly fought as any that has marked the past history of the state. It may lack the spectacular enthu siasm connected with some of the notable campaigns of former years, but it will equal them in the intensity of the struggle. An analysis of the situation ' In Washington calls for a separation of the campaign this year into three dis tinct divisions national, state and one presented by the submission of two referendum measures and two amendments to the state constitution. National Interest Scant. An unbiased survey of sentiment In regard to the national campaign com pels the conclusion that up to the present the average voter is display ing little interest in either the candi dates or the issues as contained n the respective platforms. Whether enthusiasm can be insu!Ied in tin voter ' by deluging the state with spellbinders and literature la unc.r tain. The ordinary citizen appears disinclined to become aroused over the prediction that the existing d-j condition of the nation is threatened with a change. He is even .less In clined to get violently concerned over the league of nations covenant. It is perhaps nearer the truth to pay that the whole controversy so far as the presidential fight is concerned in (his state resolves itself into a Wilson snd anti-Wilson issue. Any attempt to forecast the result must be predicated upon recognition of the fact that party lines are loose ly drawn in Washington. The state (Concluded on Page 5, Column 3.)

Davis, Once In Oregon Reform School, Hit as . He Nears Farther Shore. SACRAMENTO. Cal., Aug. 17. With three mail order catalogues strapped around his body to protect him from bullets, George F. Davis. 23 years old, made a dash for liberty at Foleom prison this afternoon, only to be shot and killed when he was two-thirds of the distance across the American river. ' ' At one time he had been an Inmate of a reform school In- Oregon, from which he escaped last year. Davis was working- with a gang of other convicts In the granite quarry. Suddenly,' when he thought the attention of the guards was turned, he started toward the river in a. wild dash for freedom. Through the two lines of guards he swiftly ran while bullets whistled around him. A ' fusillade followed him as he jumped Into the river and started for the other shore. On and on Davis went, seemingly safe from the lead showered around him. When rearing the other shore, however, a bullet struck him in the heart. He was seen to throw up his hands and then disappear. Davis was committed to the peni tentiary from San Bernardino April 15, after being sentenced' to la years on a burglary charge. SALEM, Or.. Aug. 17. (Special.) Records at the Oregon state training school show no one by the name of George F. Davis to have been com mitted to that institution within the last three years. It was pointed out however, that Davis, shot and killed today while escaping from Folsom prison, might have been committed to the Oregon school under .another name.

BLAME PUT ON WILSON Rejection by President of Inter pretative Reservations Are De clared Defeat Cause. Herbert C. Hoover, the man to whose executive ability and devotion to duty In the cause of humanity is credited the saving of several million children In the war-torn lands of central and southern Europe, arrived in Portland last night after a day light trip through the valley from Salem and a visit to his boyhood home "at Newberg. It was 9:30 P. M. when Mr. Hoover arrived at the home of W. B. Ayer, 183 North Nineteenth street, accom panied by Mrs. Hoover and their two sons, Herbert, 17, and Allen, 13, who are making their first visit to the scenes of their father's life at the same period of adolescence. The ex-Oregonian, whom many citizens of this state supported for the republican nomination for presi dent In the primaries of this year, motored through the state to visit his old homes where he studied and worked as a lad, and will leave to night for Minneapolis to attend a con ference and then proceed east for the annual convention of the American Institute of Engineers, of which he is the president. Not Much Changed at Newberg. While a resident of Newberg he made his home with an uncle. Dr. H. J. Minthorne, who is now living' at Newport. The only noticeable Change in the old home was that the present occupant of the house has turned the woodshed around and the ex-food ad ministrator' of the United States evi dently did not regard it as an im provement; he said he was wondering why the fellow did it. "What impressed me most in the Willamette valley," said Mr. Hoover, "is the way the standard of living has been raised. It is simply amaz ing and reflects the extraordinary prosperity of the Oregon country. "The gasoline engine has revolu tionized the methods of Jiving. An other thing that impressed me was' the number of people who live along the roads. When I was a boy it was unusual to see houses nearer than a mile apart. On every hand are the evidences of progress and prosper ity." European . Situation Discussed. While declining to talk pontic's and declaring that he was on vacation and did not propose to take up work Im mediately, he did talk freely of the situation in Europe, of the millions of hungry children, whose health and even their survival at all depends upon an adequate supply of milk and other food but especially milk and of the situation in Poland, where the bolshevik army is hammering at the gates of Warsaw. "The situation in Poland and the war conditions of Europe today can not be charged to the treaty of Ver sailles," he said. "It must be remem bered that no peace was made with Russia or with Turkey, and all the .wars center around these two coun tries, with which peace was never completed. The treaty of Versailles was a treaty with Germany. The league of nations was intended to pre vent future wars by a cohesion of na tions along some lines of definite policies. It could not settle other ex isting wars. And the failure of the league of nations, I think, can be laid to the failure of the president to ac cept the treaty last November with reservations. The reservations I be lieve are just as " necessary as the treaty itself. Foliaa Issue Sentimental. "The question of Polish independ ence has been a sentimental object in this country for a hundred years. It was the United States that insisted upon an ethnological unity of the three Polish districts of Germany, and that was an effort along the highest constructive lines. Fade rewski is really a great statesman. "'With those who became associated with him, their plan of government was laid ouf on the same basis of the government of the United States, with a ministry accountable to a diet. It was for the creation of a pure democracy and Paderewski's devotion to the principles was demonstrated when he stepped down Instead of ex ercising the power he possessed to dissolve the diet. He adhered patri otically to its principles. "It was at the earnest request of Paderewskl and his counsellors that the United States furnished 60 or 60 advisers for different departments of their government. It fell to me to select these men, many of whom were retained on their own account by the government of Poland and are still there. It was their desire to ob tain the advice and assistance of men specially qualified to help In organ- (Concluded, on l'as , Column 1.) Tract, Together With One Recently Bon;ht.

RUDD BEATEN AT TAPE Half - Milers Bunch and TLlu of England Slips Through in JFront of African. OLYMPIC STADIUM, Antwerp. Aug. 17. (By the Associated Press.) Ath letic advancement was demonstrated today by the wide distribution of honors in the third day's contests in the seventh Olympiad. For the first time American ath letes railed to win one of the six point-scoring places when ali four who qualified for the 6000-meter race failed to finish. In all the other finals and qualifying rounds today, how ever, the Americans were placed, in several cases after sensational per formances against strong competition. Landon Sets New Record. R. W. Landon of the New York A. C won the high jump with a new Olym pic record of 1.93 meters, although it was announced he had made 1.94 meters until a sag of the bar was remeasured. Three other Americans placed. In the eliminations for finalists In the shotput and broad Jump two Americans qualified in each, although hard luck Interfered with their per formances in the latter event. The shotputters, misunderstanding French officials, put the shot a long time be fore discovering it was Just a warm up, and later some of them did not do so well as in the practice. In the broad Jump, the nesro. Sol Butler of Dubuque college, American record holder, pulled a tendon in his second jump and could not qualify. Three Americans also qualified in the 110-meters hurdles. Rudd Beaten at Tape. The most sensational performance was that of tho half-milcrs in the S00 meters final, which Earl Eby of the Chicago A. A. almost won. anl in which Lieutenant D. M. Scott, U. S. A., and A. B. Sprott of the Los An geles Athletic club finished fifth and sixth after a terrific pace. A. G. Hill, England, won by a yard, due partly to the fact that' Eby was watching tho expected w'nner of the race, B. G. D. Rudd of South Africa, who fal tered at the tape, while Hill slipped through unobserved. Americans admitted Rudd was not quite in his best form, although he was game to the finish, collapsing as did Thomas Campbell of Ya'.e and furnishing a most sensational climax. The lattcr'a condition was serious a few minutes, duo to muscle strain and to heart spasms, but he was all right later. The American tug-of-war team was quickly outpulled by the English team but had a chance for re-entry In ease England wins, under the rule which permits all teams defeated by the winner to contest for second place. Murphy Takes Fourth Place. Eklund of Sweden and H. B. MulVer of the Olympic club, San Francisco, were tied for second place at 1.90 meters In the l'Igh Jump. John Murphy of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club of Portland, Walter 'Vhalen of the Boston Athletic club and B. How ard Baker of Great Britain were tied for fourth place with Jumps of l.Si meters. Muller and Eklund tried hard to better Landon's jump, but failed. Just as Landon's victory was an nounced and the band was playing "The Star-Spangled Banner," Albert, king of the Belgians, entered the stand and stood at . salute until the anthem was ended. Landon's Jump of 1.94 meters Is the equivalent of about 6 feet 3V4 Inches. The world's record for this Jump is 6 feet 7 5-16 Inches, made" by E. Bee son at Berkeley, Cal., May 2, 1914. The Olympic record of 1.93 meters was made by A. W. Richards, U. S. A., in Stockholm In 1913. King Albert went Into the arena after the tug of war and congratu lated Landon. He also congratulated Guillemot, French distance runner, who had just achieved a victory in tho 5000-meter event. A. party of American boy. scouts was in the stands and the yells of the youngsters enlivened affairs. American Protest Upheld. The finish in the 100-meter race yesterday was 'still disputed today. The French filed e. protest over the start also. A meeting of the Olympic games jury-was called today to con sider the question and Inspect tho photographs taken. Some of these photographs of the finish clearly show Scholz, the American, way ahead of Alikhan, the Frenchman, who was placed fourth, while Scholz was de clared to have finished fifth. An official order was said to have been given to place Scholz fourth, but the Belgian press announcer, as well as the result on the board, scored Scholz fifth. A protest over another point was entered this forenoon. It was made iConeiuded on Pac 2. Column 3.J J fCTl 102.2
