Secretary Daniels has stated that h. removal followed rep resentations from Ambassador Willard to the state department that he was encroaching on diplmatlo functions ra, his activities there. The admiral declared in his lettec that "from my personal knowledge of Mr. Daniels' character, I am led to be lieve that whatever is cited in hw statements to the discredit of the of ficers is so perverted and twisted as to give the actual facts a false meaning." "It is probable and more likely" Ad miral Decker s letter saM, "that if these officers had bowed down and had served the gods that Mr. Daniels worshipped they would today havs been fattening on the navy as com manders of fleets on active duty or itt pleasant jobs in Washington.

Few Changes In Medal List Are Made by Board Washington, June 26. Excent - for the addition of new names, virtually no cnange has been made by the Knight board in the original list of recommendations for award of war service decorations, members of the board said today. The board recon vened six months ago to reconsider its recommendations after the medal awards controversy between Rear Ad miral Sims and the naval secretary which resulted In a senate investiga tion. The board's second report was sub mitted to Mr. Daniels just before he left for San Francisco to attend the democratic convention and he has not thoroughly examined it. Members of the board said that in the new list they had followed their original recommendations with regard to officers whose-ships were struck by torpedoes or mines. ..Of the ten offi cers in this group, only six four' of whom saved their ships, were recom mended for the distinguished service medal on the original list. Secretary Daniels contended that each officer whose ship was struck should receive a distinguished service medal.

Harding Urged To Stump West New York, June 26. Chances of clinching a republican victory in the far west in November would be ma terially strengthened if the republican national committee would send the candidate on a speaking tour of the Pacific coast states, according to Samuel Piatt, prominent Nevada re publican, who conferred with National Chairman Will H. Mays here today. Mr. Piatt told Mr. Hays that public opinion in Nevada, normally a demo cratic state, had undergone a swing toward republicanism in the last six months. "' Harding, he said, was well and favorably known throughout the west, but by reputation only. This good impression of the candidate would be much bolstered up, he said, if Harding should stump the country. In urging a personal campaign in the west, Mr. Piatt bore out statements of Elmer Dover of Tacoma, who yes terday told campaign heads that Pa cific coast republicans wished Mr. Harding to make the trip. 7'fflC 7?7 I'M Tft '" IVC?lly 1 V Submit Reply To Terms Of Peace Paris, June 26.

The democratic nation al committee plunged directly into the Georgia contest when it met today. Each faction was on the ground early holding whispered conferences and making last minute plans for the battle. Clark Howell, leading the Falmer group, "and former Senator T. W. Hardwick, head of the opposition forces, were conspicuous by their"activity. As this contest was being heard, - friends and opponents of Senator lv the fifth district riwto., James A. Reed, who claimed a seat as a delegate from the Fifth Missou ri district, were also busy UninK un their forces. The national committee plans to hear the Reed case after the Georgia contest was floo'drd. Palmer Delegates Win. ' Auditorium, San Francisco, June 26. The democratic na- tional convention voted today to place the Palmer delegates from Georgia on the temporary roll of the national convention. 28 Votes Invdvcd Although only 28 votes were In volved in the Georgia case, the Pal mer delegation is composed or 56 men, each with one half vote. Tho opposition, known as the Hoks Smith Tom Watson group, brought a dele gation of 32, of whom 24 were dis trict delegates with one vote etch and eight delegates at large with one half vote each. On motion of J. Bruce Kramer. Montana, each aide was given 30 min utes to present Its case. It was agreed that the committee go into executive session to vote on the 'contents after the public hearing State Iiaw Cited H. H. Dean, Gainesville, Ga., open ed for the Palmer delegates. He ex plained there ls no state law specif ically covering presidential preferen tial primaries and in such absence the rules of the democratic state ex- said the executive committee unani mously agreed that the national del egates should be chosen from among the friends of the delegates who re ceived the largest county unit vote. .This agreement, he added, was known to all candidates, was widely pub lished, and none of the presidential candidates objected to it before the primary. Opposition Heard. Opening for 'she anti-Palmer group, 'H. H. Perry, Gainesville, spoke of Clark Howell's long service in the na tional' committee and of the. high re gard in which tie ls held by its mem bers. He spoke of Mr. Howell's fair ness "and said he hoped the committee would" not be swayed by personal con siderations but would consider the case on its merits. Mr. Perry argued that the election of the Smith-Watson delegates was regular. They were chosen by tho state conventions, which, he claimed. was the parent body. The credentials of the anti-Palmer men, he said, were Inaccurate in stating that these dele gates had been elected in pursuance of the results of the primary. He pointed out that the credentials of the Smith Watson men were certified by the chairman of the convention, while the credentials of the opposition delegates were certified by the secretary of the executive committee. Hardwick Opposes Palmer. Former Senator Hardwick, also op posing the Palmer delegates, declared the state convention was supreme and that the state executive committee had no power to instruct the state conven tions what it should or should not do. The state convention, he said, held the same relative position to the state com mlttee as the national convention holds to the national committee. Senator Hardwick said he always abided by the results of primaries. "Why didn't you abide in this pri mary?" asked a Georgia delegate. "Because we beat you In that pri mary," shouted back Senator Hard wick. He claimed that .Palmer received less than one-third of the popular vote in the state, though he had the most county unit votes, anil argued that It was against democratic prin ciples for a man receiving less than a third of the total vote to tie the hands of the other two-thirds. Compared to Poker Game. Albert Howell, Atlanta, closing for the Palmerites, said that the execu tive committee exercised the functions of the state committee between con ventions. He claimed the executive committee was the creation of the convention and its functions were lim ited to those prescribed by the body creating it. Mr. Howell was applaud ed when he humorously illustrated the case of a poker game In which one set of players wanted to change the rules of the game after the chips were on the table. This closed the Georgia case and the committee immediately proceeded to hear the Reed Case. Francis W. Wilson. United States attorney for the western district of Missouri, presented Senator Reed's case. He said it was his understand ing that there was no contest In Mis souri but that the only question for solution by the national committee was- "not the man or the measure" but rather whether the fifth Missouri district was toy-be permitted to name not once but twice, a delegate of its own choosing.

San Francisco, June 26. Completion of the temporary roll of the democra tic national convention was in sight to- day when the national committee re sumed consideration of credentials with the Georgia contest before it and) Senator Reed's efforts to gain a seat on the floor with the Missouri dele gation also to be passed upon. Other business occupied the first session otV the Committee yesterday preventing prompt disposition of' these trouble some questions. -: - Commlttemen expressed confidence that the Georgia case would be put through, probably without a vot against seating the delegation lined ue for Attorney General Palmer for pres ident. They were not quite so sure at the result on Senator Reed. ; , Previously it looked certain that h would be denied a seat, having been refused election as delegate at large by the state convention. There were Inti mations overnight, however, of a dis position among gome committee mem bers not to oppose the senator's plan for getting on the convention floor. Cox Boom Launched.
