PARIS, July D.-A representative OF
the Associated Press has interviewed
Count Casslnl, the Russian ambassador
to the United States. who Is here with
his daughter spending part of his leave
OF absence in Paris. He said:
ut is not correct, as cabIed. that
arranged with Secretary Hay, before
my departure the question of open ports
in Manchuria. II Is true that Mr.. Hay
called on me June 2sth; but 1t was

Manchuria ports were m entioned during
our conversation, but no definite ar
rengement was completed. What has

the day previous, and expressed his graft

The ambassador, in reply to the ques-

discussion during the call. replied in
the affirmative. stating that he had as
sured Mr.. Hay that Russia would exc
cute to the letter her pledges In Man
churia and at the proper time would con-
cede certain ports. 1t Is believed here
that the point the ambassador is endeav-
oring to make is that the general under
standing reached between himself and
Secretary Hay at the conference on June
18th did not specify the ports to be
opened, which at that time had not been
decided upon. Moreover. when the am
hassador says no definite agreement had
