OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, Aug. 29. Cries of wolf, wolf" by James Cox, demo cratic candidate for president, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, his youth ful companion, in the effort to break Into the White House, are beginning to awaken an appreciation of the hu mor of the situation among those who are familiar with the nomination of the candidates. Governor Cox and young Mr. Roose velt appear to be disturbed greatly because they say Senator Harding was hand-picked by a coterie that met In a Blackstone hotel room in Chi cago at a late hour of a certain Fri day night. Gllbness In Amusing. The amusing feature of the charge Is that it should be made so glibly and so enthusiastically by Governor Cox and Mr. Roosevelt. It is a recognised court procedure that the accuser must come into court with clean hands. So when Governor Cox turns hand springs of indignation over the charge that Senator Harding's nomination was the result of a hotel conference, the thought of republican leaders here reverts to the manner in which Gov ernor Cox's nomination was brought about. It isrecalled that previous to the conwntion, the decision to overturn I the White House succession, and put the "crown prince" out of business, had been reached by Tammany. The decision naturally preceded the action and Sachem Murphy called into con ference the leaders of his group at the American Monte Carlo, located at French Licks Springs, and pre sided over by Thomas Taggart. With in the hospitable portals of this noted tavern, the French Lick con sistory met. It was made up of Charles P. Murphy of Tammany, James Nu gent of New Jersey, George Brennan. who had succeeded Roger Sullivan to the bosship of Chicago, and "Mine Host," better known as Boss Taggart. Discredited Force Victors. It was then and there that Gover nor Cox was "designated," the deci sion was maintained all' through the convention, the forces of de mocracy have always been discredited nationally, hitherto succeeding in do ing that which they had never before accomplished. ' Tammany's choice was put over on the democratic party. This it is that causes republican leaders to smile When they read of Governor Cox's In dignant contortions and distortions about the republican candidate hav- "Ing been "hand-picked." The outcries of Mr. Roosevelt have not attracted so much atentlon, al though it Is realized that, equipped with an honorable name, and with the distinction of having been named for the vice-presidency by a leading po litlcal party, Mr. Roosevelt's utter ances might receive credence by those who are not familiar with the con ditions of his own nomination. . Roosevelt Tammany's Choice. Air. Koosoveit, as assistant secre tary of the navy, It is admitted, had done nothing to commend himself to the consideration of his party for this distinguished honor. Those fa miliar with the workings of the San Francisco convention, realize that Mr. Roosevelt was as much the choice 6f Tammany as was Governor Cox. The selection was made for a dif ferent' reason, but for the same ob jective. It is generally recognized that this is a big year in New York. There is a governor to be elected, . whicli means control of the state ma chine, a United States senator to be chosen and several other Important posts to be filled. Boss Murphy is not the kind of a man who would duplicate the fable of the dog who dropped the bone he held in his mouth to leap after the reflection he saw In the water. Those who know the character of Charles F. Murphy say he is not averse to making a gamble to obtain .the presidency, but is too canny to sacrifice chances of gaining the things close at hand in the effort to gather In everything within a na tional radius. Nome Used for Alibi. Having achieved the nomination of Governor Cox, his personal selection for the presidency. Boss Murphy at once realized the danger of acknowl- .. edging authorship and sought an alibi. Mr. Roosevelt afforded the solution. According to Tammany philisophy there is much in a name and Murphy , Is credited with believing many people would vote for the name of Roosevelt, even thought it might in- r (Concluded ou Page 2, Column 3.)

' Orchardists and gardeners reported the rain as exceedingly beneficial to crops, while wheat ranchers declared the fall was not of sufficient duration to harm wheat in shocks. Neither were the hop crops injured. The fall occurred mostly during the night. The sunshine of Sunday quickly dried the rain in the wheat fields. Pastures received considerable ben efit from the rain, following as it did the precipitation of Thursday and Friday V The pr' fiction was for fair weather today. WALLA WALLA, Wash., Aug. 29.

The Belfast cor respondent of the Evening News has telegraphed that he learned from po lice sources that the assassination of Inspector Swanzy, as well as of other government officials, had been in trusted to gunmen shipped from the unitea states -with bogus passports. This charge was not new. Sir Ed ward Carson in the house of com mons twice had made similar allega tions. However, the Scotland Yard police. the Irish office, the home office and the foreign office refused to make any such charge. There may be some offi cials who would welcome stich charges in the hope they would prejudice America against the Irish movement but they don't care to advance them as official.

The Dutch'f reighter Arakan. 3300 tons, en route . from Batavia, Java, to San Francisco, went ashore today in the fog five miles north of Point Reye on the coast about 30 miles north of here. a wireless message rrom the ves sel's captain to the marine department of the chamber of commerce reported that the Arakan was resting- on sandy beach 200 yards offshore.

EXACT FIGURES EXPECTED League Held Likely to Be Ob scured for Time. DEMOCRATS ABOUT BROKE Republican Mistake Declared to Be in Having Money Machine Too Highly Efficient. BY MARK SULLIVAN. (Copyright by the New Tork Evening- Post. Inc. Published by Arrangement.) . NEW YORK, Aug. 29. (Special.) Tomorrow the senate committee w'll meet in Chicago and expects to begin its investigation with Will Hays testi fying first. We shall now have exact figures under oath and in the course of a few days will be able to come to conclusions based on exact facts. During these few days the subject of campaign funds will be very much to the front. Mr. Cox has made good on his undertaking to give something definite enough to engage the com mittee and the public interest as well. In a way, it is a pity that this par ticular excitement comes at this time. This ought to have been the week for a close examination of Senator Harding's position on our Interna tional affairs, and for a comparison of it with the democratic position. That comparison is probably' the one thing that will finally determine the largest number of changeable voters at the election. League May Be Obscured. Sooner or later that comparison will be made and these changeable voters will come to their conclusions. but for the immediate present me league of nations is likely to be ob scured by the public interest in the testimony before the senatorial in vestigation committee. What seems to have happened is that the republicans engaged as direc tor, of their solicitation of campaign funds a professional organizer; one of those extremely modern salesmen ot the "go get 'er" type, who had a good deal of success in managing the lib erty loan, Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. tvpe of "drive." It appears to have been his methods and manners that got the republicans "in bad as much as anything else. His slogan of "get the money, boys," is fully as respon sible as the figures, are for what the nublic recognizes as distasteful in the revelations about the repuoiican campaign fund. Exact Flicurea to Be Available. The exact figures for both parties will be available to the public within a day or two. Those of us who move (Concluded on Page3, Column 1.)

THAT MARY WENT THE LAMB Stand on Laborglo Be Followed by Platforms on Agriculture and Industrial Reconstruction. MARION. Aug. 29. His plan for a new association of nations having been put before the country. Senator Harding expects to turn his attention to other issues of the campaign in his speeches of the next two weeks, with only an occasional reference to the league fight. The next important problem on which he probably will outline his views is the reclamation of western lands. He will speak on that subject Tuesday to a group of republican gov ernors and nominees for governor from western states who will be cen tral figures in "Governors' day" of the front porch calendar. On Monday of the following week, the nominee's labor platform is to be set forth in a speech to a Labor day gathering here, and two days later he will discuss agricultural issues at the Minnesota state fair. Later in the campaign Senator Harding intends to bring the question of industrial reconstruction into prominence. It also is expected that he will devote a speech to soldier compensation. He will speak here next Saturday to state chairmen of the republican ways and means committees entrust ed with collection of campaign funds, but it is not expected he will touch directly on the charges of an exces sive campaign fund made by Gover nor Cox. He has indicated that he expected an adequate reply to be made by National Chairman Hays and National Treasurer Upham. The senator, however, will not lose sight of the league issue. Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, ir reconcilable opponent of the Versailles treaty, is expected here during the coming week. Harding headquarters made public today numbers of telegrams of con gratulations on Senator Harding's foreign relations speech yesterday. Among them was one from Senator Brandegee of Connecticut, one of the senate group of irreconcilables, say ing: Glory hallelujah, God reigns and the government of Washington still lives."

(By the Associated Pope Benedict today took a leading part, posing first with various groups and then for "close-ups," and express ing much amusement at the persist ence of the American photographers who went within four feet of the Pontiff and snapped him smiling. This occurred after the pope had celebrated mass for the visiting American Knights of Columbus in the open Vatican gardens and had given holy communion personally to each knight. Vatican officials were amazed that the pope appeared in these scenes for about 20 minutes, and which proved the most complete pictures ever taken of Vatican cere monies. The pope seized Supreme Knight Flaherty by both hands, blessing the knights and America. He welcomed the visitors In a short address, trans lated by Archbishop Cerretti, for merly of the papal delegation at Washington. After the pope posed for the pictures he drove through the gardens, flanked by knights, to the Vatican. When the Vatican officials objected to the pope being photo graphed, he said: "Let the Americans have what they want." FIGHT OVER EGYPT LOOMS Strong Tory Opposition Will Be Brought to Milner "Agreement." (Copyright by the New York World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) LONDON, Aug. 29. (Special cable.) Despite optimistic self-congratula-tors in some sections of the British press over Lord Milner's "agreement" with the Egyptian nationalist delega tion for Egyptian "independence." it has been learned that matters are by no means settled.

"We will fight fire with fire," said Mr. Hays. "We will not only make public everything connected with our campaign, but we will force the democrats to do the same.

'- So far as learned, no -word came from Governor Cox as to evidence he might send, or saying whether he would attend. He was invited to at tend, but replied that he felt his pres ence should not be demanded.
