Washington special says the President
said tonight that IT, was extremely
doubtful whether he would do anything
mere during the next two weeks than
preserve peace In Louisiana. al.
he added that. under certain
contingencies, h. might DO compelled to
grant executive recognition. OF course,
in that case, tho Returning Board hav-

action having been recognized by tho
electoral tribunal. there could be hut
one course. lie believed. however, that
the Packard government could only be

might not entertain the same

would be placed in a very unpleasant
light. Besides. when he recognized the
Kellogg government four years ago. he
received no support from the Republican

phases That she whole army OF tho Uni

forco the authority Of Chamberlain. The
people Of that State had resolved not to
resort to violence, but had adopted a mode
of resistance much moro formidable and
effective than armed demonstration.
They have refused to pay their State
taxes 10 Chamberlain. and II would bc
