NEW YORK, April 24.-The New

today said: The action OF the stock
exchange today went far in confirm
ing the theory that Saturdays liQuida-
ton originated in a carefully planned

professional element apparently took
advantage Of the sentimental depres-
sion, the weak technical positions, re-
sulting from exhausted margins and
the short session sandwiched be-
tween two holidays to reinforce the
action and as is ever the case In
forcing the general decentralization Of
the list, they oversold the market.
This was apparent from the sharp
recovery which characterized today's
initial transactions. First prices
ranged from / to 3 points higher, and
the initial Improvement was extend
ed further before the expiration Of
the first half hour. Naturally the
greatest gains reflected in munition
stocks and industrial specialties
which were the chief sufferers in the
Saturday decline and those of the
Immediately proceeding sessions last
week Some further liquidation was
occasioned by the failure of specu-
lators to respond to margin calls, but
the offerings were we'll taken by pool
and clique operators. Short covering
was influenced by the more hopeful
sentiment that prevailed both in re-
spect to the German situation and
our Mexican affairs.
Dealings were on scale Of largo
activity, but the bulk of the business
was confined to comparatively few
issues, of which aside from United

GERARD REFUSED
TO SAY A WORD
Held Today With German
Chancellor by the American
Ambassador.

staff Correspondent.
BERLIN, April 24.-Ambass ador
Gerard, emerging from sixty-tive
minute conference with Chancellor
Won Bethmann- Hollweg this after
noon, was besieged by crowd of
German and American correspon-
dents, but refused fatty TO discuss
his talk with the chancellor.
"Are you preparing to leave Ser
lin" was asked by one of the Ger
man correspondents.
II can say nothing" was the am
bassador's response. at will be inn
possible for me TO speak for perhaps
two or three days"
The ambassador went to the chan
cellor's office shortly after IL o'clock
this morning, carrying with him the
text of the American note. He told
the United Press that the chancellor
asked for the conference last night
upon his return from the kaisers
quarters.
The fact that he carried no papers
when he returned to the embassy led
to the inference that he has not yet
received the German reply.
Immediately upon his return, Ger
ard began writing in long hand long
confidential cable to President Will
son. AS fast as he finished one sheet
it was coded by embassy clerks and
prepared for the cable.
Americans are constantly arriving
at the embassy to obtain passports.
Many are leaving Berlin, believing
that break is near.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
SAYS TO KEEP THEM
Opinion Is Against Turning Won lgei's
Papers Over to Ambassador
Won Bernstorff.
WASHINGTON,

WASHINGTON. April 24.-The
state department today received
from Attorney General Gregory, ad-
vice against giving to Ambassador
Bernstorff, the papers seized from
Wolf Won Igel, secretary to Captain
Won Papen.
The recommendation is not final, it
is said Gregory has offered to sub
ordinate his opinion to any larger
question" but the attorney general
and officers under him are said to be
opposed to being hampered in any
way in making use of the papers.
That the state department is view
ing the situation growing out of the
seizure with added seriousness, was
admitted.
Gregory in offering to give up
what his officials consider the most
valuable evidence they have OBJ
tanned, indicated the extent to which
German officials are involved. That
Ambassador Won Bernstorffs name
is mentioned frequently in letters
taken from Won Igel was apparent
from the view Gregory took.
The attorney general. acting on ad-
vice Of officials in charge of neutral
ity violation plots, has concluded that
the papers involve delicate diplomatic
questions. In stating that the de-
partment of justice cannot deal with
diplomats directly, no secret was
made of the belief that diplomats
were involved.
Negotiations as to the papers are
now entirely in the hands of the state
department. Justice officials said
that the case has passed from them.
They are holding the papers and ex-
rect to be asked for them when AM
bassador Won Bernstorff returns
from New York probably tomorrow.
While they deny they will take anv
action. officials admitted they have
looked up laws pertaining to prosecu-
ton of diplomats. 1t is possible, they
said, to prosecute even an ambassa-
dor who has committed an offensa
against the government to which he
is assigned. This has been done in
other countries, it was said.
