TTsefoIness as Member. WASHINGTON, July 7. After Paul M. Warburg had reauested the Presi dent today to withdraw his nomination as a member of the Federal Reserve Board, the President made a strong " effort to Induce Mr. Warburg to recon sider. It was reported tonight In cir cles close to the White House that Mr. Warburg was wavering and that there was a possibility of bis changing his mind. In the course of the afternoon Mr. Warburg and the President's secretary, Mr. Tumulty, talked over the telephone, and Mr. Warburg then expressed his determination not to take the place. Later President Wilson telegraphed, urging him strongly to reconsider his decision. Promise ef Confirmation Given. Despite opposition to Mr. Warburg In the Senate, friends of the President have assured him that the New Tork banker's nomination can be confirmed. The President himself is said to believe that he will have a hard time finding another man as familiar with foreign banking conditions who will accept the place. Members of the Senate banking com mittee were Inclined today to consider that Mr. Warburg had finally eliminated himself by his telegram to Chairman Hitchcock declining to appear and sub mit to questioning by the committee. In this message, made public soon after the announcement from the White ' House ' of the request for the with drawal of the nomination, Mr. Warburg said he felt the action of the committee In holding up his appointment and one other while three were confirmed would Impair his usefulness as a mem ber of the Reserve Board. Objection Made to Being Singled Out Mr. Warburg's telegram to Senator Hitchcock read: "I acknowledge receipt of your tele gTam of yesterday Inviting me to ap pear before your committee. I cannot comply with this request, because, feel ing that action of the committee last Thursday In withholding action re garding my name, while favorably re porting the names of three of the nomi nees, created a situation which might impair my usefulness as a member of the Federal Reserve Board. I wrote the President on Friday respectfully requesting the withdrawal of my nomi nation. "Furthermore, while I should have been glad to appear before your com mittee if it had deemed a conference with all the nominees necessary to guide its action, I feel that I should not do so after one other nominee and myself had been singled out ' for ex amination, inasmuch as my willingness to serve on the Federal Reserve Board was based on the hope that the Senate Would appreciate my motives In ac cepting the office and would unre servedly extend to me that full support and confidence which should be enjoyed by all the members of the Board if It Is to effectively fulfill its mission." It was said at the Capitol that if the nomination were not withdrawn the committee in all probability would insist on the appearance of the banker for examination concerning his busi ness affairs and those of his firm, Kuhn, Loeb & Co.

INDIAN EMPIRE HAS PROBLEM Returning Deportees May Sow Discord Seeds at Home. 22 ARE ALLOWED TO ENTER Gurdit Singh, Wealthy Leader, Is Only Dissenter In Letter to Pas- eengers' Lawyer "I'm Not of Immigrant Class," He Says. VANCOUVER, B. C, July 7. British Columbia finished with - its vexing Hindu problem today, but it is pos sible that another one was set up for the . Indian Empire, when 353 Hindus, on board the steamer Komagata Maru, abandoned their fight for admission to Canada and agreed to go back home. They have been here over a month, and the Komagata Maru was specially char tered to bring them from India by way of Japan. Their stay has been marked by plots - to assassinate the local im migration officers, not traceable to anyone on the boat, and by .all , possible legal proceedings. - Three. Obstacles Barred Them. They were refused permission to land, because they did not come di rectly from India, because they did not have $200 apiece required by the im migration laws and because they were held to be common laborers, liable to become public charges and hence not entitled to admission. Whether the men on the boat ex pected to be allowed to land or not cannot ' be learned definitely. " Their coming Is said to have been financed by wealthy Hindus unfavorable to English rule on the theory that if they got in It would open the door for others, and if they were excluded, what they would have to say on reaching home would not make the path of the government any smoother. One report was that the men on the boat were picked purposely from districts known for their loyalty to the British in order to dlsaffect them. Gnrdlt Singh Is Dissenter. Today Gurdit Singh, the wealthy leader, instructed his counsel uncondi tionally to arrange for the return of the Komagata Maru. The ship's owners ordered her back a week or so ago, but the captain dared not sail, fearing his. passengers would be unruly. To Gurdit 'Concluded on Page 4.)

"His brother Is on a rarm aireaay." she explained, "and he Is the only one I have at home to carry the milk that I sell to make our living. But rather than see his disappointment.
