WILSON DECIDES
TO TAKE HAND IN
SHIPBUILDING ROW
Whether Cocktails Resignation
viii Be Accepted or Chair
man Denman, Removed Will
Be Decided Soon

WASHINGTON, July 21.-President
Wilson has made up his mind to inter
vene in the shipbuilding row and will
take steps to resolve the situation soon
after he returns from a weekend trip
on the Mayflower.
The presidents decision to put an end
to differences that have halted the gov
ernments building program was made
after he received yesterday a letter
from Major General George w. Goethals,
declaring the situation appeared hope
less, and the general would resign if
the president thought that would solve
the problem. There was no informa-
ton concerning the presidents reply,
but officials were of the opinion tonight
that the president may have asked Gen
eral Goethals to give him time to go
into the situation.
Difficulties between Chairman Dem
man, of the shipping board, and Cen
eral Goethals, manager of the boards
emergency fleet corporation, starting
over the boards wooden ship plans,
came to a head last week, when the
president authorized the fleet corpora
tion to build ships and directed the
board to operate them. General Goe-
thals, taking the order to mean that as
general manager of the corporation, he
building program which he said he
would start on last Monday.
The start was postponed at the re-
quest, General Goethals said of Chair
man Denman, who asked a short delay
to give the shipping board time to go
over the plans. Mr.. Denman has de-
clared he asked for no delay, but did
ask that the general submit in detail
his plan, as the shipping board, respon-
lions of dollars appropriated, wanted to
know how it would be spent.
For a week members of the board and
General Goethals have been going over
the program. Although Chairman Den
man has announced that progress was
being made and that a complete pro-
gram on which everybody would agree
was in sight, there have been persist
ent reports of, friction. At least two
members of the board are said to be in
clined to take the side of General Goe-
thals when disputes arose.
The presidents course in settling the
situation was a matter of much specula-
ton tonight. Although in signing the
executive order transferring to the ship
ping board and the fleet corporation the
powers conferred on him by congress
he followed the suggestions of Mr.. Den
man, it is known the president would
be reluctant to lose General Cocktails
services. There is reason to believe,
too, that the president would hesitate to
displace M. Denman.
