BREAKDOWN IN NEGOTIATIONS LOUS LIKELY Great Britain's Demands Not To be Met by Other Great Powers Complete Disruption of Con ference is Regarded As Probable THE HAGUE, Aug. 15. (AP) The conference to liquidate the last of the World War problems by putting into effect the Young plan for reparations seemed near complete breakdown tonight after French, Italian, Belgian and Jap anese delegates consulted and Louis Loucheur of the French de legation announced continued op position to the British demands The situation seemed even more grave than last weekend when Philip Snowden, British chancel lor of the exchequer, threatened disruption of the negotiations. The laborite chancellor who de mands an increased perecentage of reparations, amounting to the share apportioned Great Britain under the Dawes plan, has fixed Saturday as the latest date for a decision of the fate of the pres ent conference. Mr. Snowden has made It emphatic that he will wait no longer than the end of this week for action by the conference on his demand for revision of the Toung plan. Second Demand Is Also Poshed The British delegation also has made known that its attitude is unchanged respecting its second demand, the abolition of distinc tion between conditional and un conditional annutities, and Its de termination that deliveries In kind must be abolished. Great Britain's requirements in unconditional an nutities is placed at 2,500,000 an nually. The British delegation today confirmed this as its attitude, al though it refused to discuss the letter which Chancellor Snowden addressed to Premier Henri Jas par, of Belgium, and which re sulted' in the meeting of the rep resentatives of the principal cre ditor powers. Solid Opposition To Face Great Britain France, Befcium, Italy and Jap an at that meeting declared their solidarity on questions raised at the conference so if no change oc curs before Saturday Great Britain will find herself faced by solid opposition from the other princi pal powers. It was stated in British circles late today that proposals had been made by other powers but that promise of complete agreement had not been given. In consequence. Chancellor Sno den's "second ultimatum" as it is called, may settle the fate of the conference by Saturday. FIRM RUN TO EARTH MILWAUKEE, Wis., Aug. 15. (AP) Confident that Elmer 8.

HEENEY WALLOPED I Victorio Campolo Fights His Way Into Limelight as Real Contender By EDWARD J. NEIL Associated Press Sports Writer EBBETS FIELD, Brooklyn, Aug. 15. (AP) Another smash ing giant from the Argentine, ful ly as threatening to American heavyweight supremacy as the Luis Angel Firpo of six years ago, battered his way into the heavy weight picture tonight over the punch shattered form of gallant Tom Heeney. Surprisingly clever for all his 223 pounds of bone and muscle, Victorio Campolo, the new gallop ing Gaucho of the Pampas coun try, spread the hard rock from New Zealand on the ring of the big national league ball park as only Gene Tunney, in his valedic tory as heavyweight champion, was able to do before him. Campolo was awarded the fight on a tecnnicai anocaout in me ninth round of a ten round match as Heeney, torn by body punches and reeling under ponderous right hand smashes to the jaw, stag gered helplessly into the arms of Tom Crowley,, the referee. The round lasted 3 mlnutea and 46 seconds.- - -- It was a vicious slugging battle from the opening gong, the kind of a donnybrook free-for-all heavyweight fans have sought in vain at major rin glides since Jack Dempsey lost his title. - In ' the nine rounds Heeney was on the floor twice, once for no count in the eighth and finally in the ninth just before the end came To the 18,000 fans gathered in the national league ball park, these were the only moments when the fight was not jammed with thrill ing action. Heeney fought an aggressive, punishing battle that held the South American giant even for the first seven rounds. Then the thudding right-hand punches Cam polo buried into Tom's body from the opening gong took their toll Once his strength was sapped Heenev weakened fast, soon be came a mark for Campolo's right crosses to the chin, and help up on courage alone through the eighth and what there was of the ninth round. Campolo, Bix feet seven Inches tall, and possessed of probably the longest reach in ring history, 88 inches, reached down from his treat height and welcomed the constantly charging New Zealand- er with chugging rights to me body, rights to the head, and now and then left hooks that were equally damaging. When neces sary, the Argentine was able to stand Tom off with his long left hand, jabbing tantalliingly to the face, while he awaited, and always found spot to land that zooming right.
