Time of the National Committee
Taken Up by Protests

1aNen Up Dy Protests.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-The interest
attached to the second meeting Of the
national Democratic committee at
noon was increased by persistent ru-
mors that the members would take ac-
ton to remove from the committee
those men whose absence was alleged
to accentuate their objections to the
national ticket and platform. Those
mentioned as the members to be dis
c1plined included W. F. Harrity. Of
Pennsylvania; w. F. Sheehan, of New
York; French, of Connecticut. and Law
Ter, of Minnesota. In Sheehan's case,
in particular it was said that local or

AS to that particular case Elliot Dan
forth, who represents Mr.. Sheehan by
proxy, said this morning: 1T is not
true that petition was presented for
the removal of Mr. Sheehan or. for
that matter, the removal of any of the
gentlemen mentioned. Mr.. Sheehan
gave me his proxy and he was only
one OF eight or ten other national COM
m1tteemen who adopted the same
course. Senator Ben Tillman was an
other defender of the absent commit
teemen, whose course is being criti-
cized. He said this morning: 1.-THE
talk is bosh. I don't believe any COM
mitteeman will refuse to take part in
the campaign. Every man on the com
m1ttee is man of honor and if he
could not conscientiously serve he
would resign. The national commit
tee is not disciplining body and has
no right to take any action
The committee. commenced at 1920

too late to do anything.
The question Of the disputed plank Of
the platform was discussed and the
committee gave it's official decision

Hill, excepting existing contracts from
the scope of the financial plank, had
not been adopted. Congressman James
D. Richardson, of Tennessee, who was
acting chairman of the convention
when the platform was adopted, stated
his positive recollection that the Hill
amendment was defeated His .testi-
mony was reinforced by Senator Jones.

that he had taken certain territories in Africa under
his protection. Lord Granville not only expressed

he proposed that joint commission should be APP

We have carried out the agreement which Lord
Granville made during his time. The German Gov

would insist on It's being withdrawn. That an
