Governor Cox declinJd to respond to the request of Senator Harding, his rpnubliian onDOnent. for details of the governor s conference with Presi dent Wilson yesterday on the league of nations.' The governor said he would answer anything desirable in his acceptance address. Disinclination of Edmund H. Moore, national committeeman from Ohio, and Governor Cox' floor manager at the San Francisco convention, to as sume management of the campaign left unsettled tonight the election of a national committee chairman. Gov ernor Cox said in a telephone con versation Mr. Moore Indicated he did not desire- the place, but wished to serve in other and unofficial capac ities. "The question will be left to the committee," said the governor. Mr. Moore's reasons for not wish ins to manage the campaign were eaid by close friends to be personal based largely on necessities of his law practice. ' Chairmanship Also Discussed. The committee chairmanship also was disenssed today by Governor Cox with Homer S. Cununings, present chairman. Mr. Cummings has stated he wished to avoid the responsibili ties and labor of another campaign, but many committee members were ursring that he be "drafted." Representative Hull of Tennessee also was being urged as an eligible. A number of committee women were here and there was a disposi tion to give them places on the ex ecutive committee, possibly electing one vice-chairman. Woman suffrage leaders also are to urge the commit tee to make another move toward ratification of suffrage. Norman K. Mack, New York committee member, will offer a resolution urging the Tennessee and North Carolina legis latures to ratify. Sentiment regarding notification of the nominees seemed settled in favor of dates early in August in order that both candidates may soon begin speaking tours. Tentative plans call for a tour of about three weeks in eastern and central states by Gov ernor Cox. beginning about August 15. while Mr. Roosevelt spends a like period in the west. Afterward it was proposed that they transfer terri tories for another three weeks. Both candidates are expected to close their campaigns in their home stales. ' Cox Hopes to Visit 'West. Governor Cox said he was being urged strongly to visit the Pacific coast and that he hoped to comply. Virtually all visiting committee members are giving the governor and Mr. Roosevelt optimistic reports on the outlook in their states. The gov ernor had as luncheon guests today, in addition to Mr. Roosevelt, Norman Mack, New York committee member; Thomas B. Love, committeeman from Texas; Isadore B. Dockweiler, Cali fornia's member; Dr. J. W. Morrow of Oregon and former Representative White of Ohio. Mr. Mack said the democratic pros pects in New Y'ork were "very good." "The party in the state never was more united," he said. Mr. Dockveller also cave a hope ful view or the California situation in which he said factional republican troubles figure, while Dr. Morrow, Governor Cox. said, - predicted that Oregon. Idaho and Montana were sure prospects for the democratic column. IV ew York May Be Headquarters. In considering headquarters. New York was regarded a -certainty for the east. Many commiteemen favor Chicago for central headquarters, but Colum bus Interests tomorrow will urge the committee to place them here. A Pa cific coast headquarters also is under consideration, with the north coast members urging Portland. Or., and others favoring &an Francisco. Measures for the party war ches also are to be considered by the com mittee tomorrow, and Governor Cox tonight said he had "some very defi nite ideas" to give. The governor told friends from Dayton today that plans were moving forward for a "home-coming recep tion" to be tendered him July 30. Among Mr. Cox' callers today was Mrs. George Bass of Chicago, chair man of the woman's bureau of the na tional committee, who discussed meas ures for enrolling the maximum fem inine vote. . The governor also met for the first time Samuel B. Amidon. Kansas com mitteeman, who was a McAdoo floor manager at San Francisco, but who later made the motion to make Gov ernor Cox' nomination unanimous. Mr. Amidon said he assured Gov ernor Cox that the democrats would carry Kansas. Governor Cox today selected the of ficial photograph of himself to be used during the campaign. It Is known in Ohio as the "winning Cox picture," having been used almost exclusively in the governor's three successful gubernatorial campaigns and also for posters at San Francisco. Goverrror Cox tonight gave out a statement expressing his preference for Mr. Moore, saying: "My choice for chairman is E. H. Moore, who is not only my personal friend, but who so successfully man aged my convention campaign. I am under everlasting obligations to him. I realize my nomination is due as much to his indefatigable energy and work and personal popularity as to any standing and popularity of my own."

Hints from Lincoln have Intimated that Mr. Sunday miKht be named as vice-presidential candidate.

He lays great stress on the counsel of the commoner. . 'I have not heard from Mr. Bryan.' said Mr. Sunday, "but have been in communication-with the prohibition party committee. If Mr. Bryan thinks it necessary that the prohibitionists put a- candidate in the field or that existing circumstances point to a pos sible undermining of the purposes of the ISth amendment, then you may count on us geting into effective aii tion." Mr. Sunday frankly said that he considered the republican platform sufficiently strong for a dry America in spirit as well as in letter. He also declared that he was much disinclined to get into politics. "I certainly do not wish to give up my work as an evangelist," he de clared. sBm - Will r-t'yCx I (tmM Iw 1 ote the Cushion Design, J the t;tra Rubber. ; pr- - ; 2a:-" I ri'r"t'V--4??S-:r--;:-0l t ft Young Woman Wins Action for Her .Salary When Check Is Stopped I'olloMing Resignation.

PARTY PREPARES FOR FIGHT Prohibition Convention Opens at Lincoln, "eb., Tomorrow. LINCOLN, Neb., July 19. The pro hibition party is preparing for a fight to a finish in the coming presidential campaign, according to w. G. Calder- wood, vice-chairman of the party's national committee, and the various delegates who have arrived for the national convention, which opens on Wednesday. Every delegate here declared that a presidential ticket will be placed in- the field and they were unanimous in the declaration that William Jennings Bryan and "Billy" Sunday are the men who will head the ticket. The question of whether Mr. Bryan will consent to head the party's ticket is uppermost in- the minds of the dele gates and the opinion was freely ex pressed that if he refuses to accept the nomination it will be forced upon nim. "If Mr. Bryan wants the nomination he can have It by nodding his head,' said Mr. Calderwood today, "and if he doesn't want it we probably will force it on him. His recent state ment in the Commoner that a man must accept such -an honor . if it is offered him Is looked upon by us as tantamount to a declaration that he will accept. ' Neither Mr. Bryan nor Mr. Sunday is expected to attend the convention and neither has signified whether he would be willing to run. Mr. Calderwood issued a statement saying the only thing which could avert a national prohibition ticket would be a "clear-cut statement by Senator Harding or Governor Cox op posing any changes In the 18th amendment.' We consider such a statement, as impossible, however." he continued. "and we are preparing to go to the mat in the coming campaign. We are going to name a ticket which will draw hundreds of thousands of votes. While the delegates here announced themselves as favoring Bryan as first choice, all have some pet candidate whose interests they are furthering in case tne isebr.askan is not nomi nated or refuses the nomination, v Dan A. Poling, 35 years old, inter national president of the Christian Endeavor society, and who was gassed overseas, apparently has a stroner following, and Clinton N. Howard of Rochester, N. Y.. is another who' is wasting no time in furthering his presidential aspirations. Robert Pat- ton of Springfield, 111.; . Charles H. Randall, representative in congress from California, and Virgil G. Hin- shaw of Chicago are others who are said .to be in a "receptive" mood con cerning the nomination. - Delegates expressed the opinion that a woman may be chosen for the vice-president lal nomination.
