An agreement where the Irish people at a free election can decide the dispute between the free staters and republicans was hoped for at I he conference of leaders of oppos ing f .rtions and others interested in Kaee, called-for today.

Uird Mayor O'Neill of Dublin, who called the meeting was expected to act as chairman. Mr. DeValera has opposed an elec tion in the existing register which he contends would exclude many young men and women who have reached voting age since it was compiled and Mr. Griffith has been against a new register on the ground that its prepa ration would delay the elections, which he hud planned for June. Those seeking to bring about an adjustment believe an agreement can be reached whereby the elections could be held In August under a new register and thus avoid any Interfer ence at tbe polls by the dissedent sec tion of the Irish republican army which upholds Mr.' DeValera'a views. .PORTLAND.
