While this information Is being

the domestic situation with regard to
the league. Harding regard the elec

Elihu Root, William H. Taft. and ott'i

want to see the Wilson plan discarded
entirely. There are some republican
senators, too, who favor ratification ot

into a soft hirt and a baggy pair ot

Harding said today he recalled hav
ing seen a cable from Elihu Root dur.
ing the summer in which Root urged
that the league covenant be modified
according to the Lodge reservation
rather than thrown over entirely. To
scrap the league Root argued, would
bring chaos, and loss of the result of
the war. Harding would not comment
on the Root message, only to say that
Root Is one of those whom he expect
to call to Marion fur a conference dur.
ing the winter.
Harding wore a broad "hayneed"
hat when he climbed into the boat
and started down the bay. There wa
much commotion around the hotel a

(From Overbeck & Cooke Co.)
Wheat displayed a rallying tenden
cy early In the day but the character
of the news that came forward wa
too much for the market to with
stand and before the close heavy li
quidation carried prices to the lowest
level on the crop. Considerable of
the buying waa in anticipation of tha
semi-weekly export demand, which
failed to materialize to the extent ex
pected. More attention wa being
given to general bualnes depression,
