New York. Sept 27. Arrival of
former Senator Ellhu Root In KeW
Tork Sunday, after several months
In Europe, coupled with recent poll
tlcal developments, points to a de
elded quickening of the fight around
the League of Nations issue during
the closing weeks of the presidential
camnaia-n.
The Republicans are looking to Root
as the Moses to lead them out of the
situation wherein they find one wing of
the party speaking against the League of
Nations while another wing is senaing
out speakers who favor the league with
such reservations as will safeguard
American interests.
FXAK CANDIDATE 8TKATI50
A series of conferences between Root
and various Republican leaders are en
rthe books for the next few days, and
It would not be surprising to see the
former senator paying a visit to the
front porch at'Harion within the near
future.
Meanwhile. It can be stated that there
is a strong feeling about Democratic
headquarters, and in Washington, that
Governor Cox haa been "scattering nis
firs" too much. President Wilson still
regards the league as the dominant
issue in the campaign- He la reaoy,
and, aa previously forecast In these dis
patches, may be expected to Issue state
ments bearing on this issue, or oiner
wise take a hand in support of Cox
from the White House.
Those who view tne situation In the
same light aa the president re conae
auently bringing pressure to bear on
headquarters to see that Democratic
speakers concentrate on the league, and
are hopeful that Cox will also devote
more of his utterances to straight sup
port of the covenant

In New Tork aa a "movie" Sunday
night
This story Is regarded as a strong
argument for the League of Nations
and many prominent Democrats attend
ed the Initial showing of the film.
Two large theatres were secured for
the initial presentation, an invitation
affair. Every, emphasis was laid by the
speakers on the declaration that !
a "non-partisan" picture.
MeADOO IS CHAIBMAIf
William Q. McAdoo, who acted as
chairman of the evening, so declared,
and added that It waa "a tragic pity
that the League of Nations had to be
Injected into the campaign, particularly
when there were so many domestic Is
sues that a clean-cut referendum waa
virtually impossible."
Oscar Straus, an officer of the League
to Enforce Peace and one of the speak
ers of the evening, declared the picture
to be utterly non-partisan "because
whatever party is elected to power must
support this great Institution (the
league) for the liberation of peoples
throughout the world."
Among the distinguished people pres
ent were : Former Ambassador James
W. Gerard, Samuel Gonipera, the two
daughters of the president Miss Mar
garet Wilson and Mra William G. Mc- I
Ad oo and the president s cousin, Helen
Wood row Bones.
Elihu Root arrived here Sunday from
Europe, where he has been aiding In
the establishment of an International
court of justice, and succeeded in say
ing absolutely npthlng to a score of re
porters. MIGHT MAKE SMUGGLER
Root even succeeded in withholding
his reason for saying nothing.- It he
could secrete valuable objects from tha
customs officers as he succeeds in hid
ing his ideas from the reporters, he could
give up the law business and take to
smuggling In a serious way.
The Rotterdam, on which Root ar
rived, waa hung up down the bay for
more than two hours by a fog that de
layed 10 liners. He was met at the dock
by a few friends and sifter convincing

honorable discharge.
