Nye May Seek Nomination For Presidency WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 (let A "favorite son" boom for Sen ator Gerald P. Nye of North Da kota for the Republican presi dential nomination was reported in the making today. Friends of Nye said they ex pected the movement to come to the surface at a rally at Minot, N. D., next month at a time when several other prospective Republican presidential candi dates, more or less inactive since congress adjourned, will be en tering upon intensive speaking campaigns. Admirers of the North Dakota senator also have been active in South Dakota, Minnesota and Montana with the hope of ob taining, if not pledged delega tions, at least secondary support for Nye In the Republican con vention. They were said to believe that if Nye could command the back ing of the 23 convention votes from these four states he would be in a position to force greater consideration of his recently ex. pressed views that the Republi cans must nominate a "progres. sive candidate" in 1940. Nye, who took a leading part in opposing the administrations neutrality program in the last session of congress, has arranged a speaking tour, beginning in October, which -will take him from coast to coast. He has an nounced the intention of attack ing the administration's foreign policies during his tour.

Craigie and Somatsu Kato, Jap anese minister at large for China, were reported today to have de cided to suspend the Anglo- Jap anese negotiations as a result of Britain's refusal to take up the Chinese currency and silver ques tions. There was no direct confirma tion of the suspension but the newspaper Hochi reported that Kato had threatened in a meeting with Craigie Saturday to bring about complete collapse of the talks. War Minister Selshlro Itagakl conferred with fellow army lead era Saturday on Britain's refusal to discuss the Chinese currency matter without the participation of the United States and other na tions interested in the question under the provisions of the nine, power treaty applying to the in. tegrtty of China. It was reported that Craigie and Kato had agreed mutually to the suspension of the already stale mated talks dealing with the polic ing and maintenance of order In the blockaded British concession in Tientsin. It was said Britain will consult with other powers regarding the currency and silver question. Japan has insisted Britain co operate in suppressing Instead of supporting the curency of the Chinese nationlist regime of Gen eralissimo Chiang Kai-Shek and also that banks in the Tientsin British concession surrender about $4,000,000 in Chinese silver de posits. Japanese newspapers demanded that the government break off all negotiations with Britain a course which army leaders had already announced would mean a drastic Intensification of their anti-British campaign in China. One newspaper, the extreme na tionalistic Yokumln, asserted there was a pro-British faction in the foreign office and urged the army to take independently whatever steps It thought necessary. Baron Kllchlro Hlranuma, the premier, conferred with Foreign Minister Hachlro Arlta on the British dispute but more Import ant was the conference of Lieut. Gen.

Japan May Blockade Britain's Hong Kong SHANGHAI, Aug. 21 OJ.B The Japanese army today threatened to blockade British Hong Kong because of what a Japanese army spokesman at Can ton described as Great Britain's persistence in permitting a flow of arms and munitions through the leased area to the Chinese army. The Canton spokesman said the Japanese commanders feel it it necessary to isolate Hong Kong from China in order to prevent arms from renching the Chinese guerrilla armies of Generalissmo Chiang Kai-Shek. Japanese forces already have advanced to the border of the Brit ish leased area, driving thousands of Chinese refugees ahead of them In what they described as a "mop ping up" operation against the Chinese irregulars in the Hong Kong area. British authorities had professed to believe that no attempt would be made by the Japanese to block ade the border but the announce ment at Canton indicated an actual blockade from the landside was being contemplated. 1 FROM MONROE MONROE.
