Republican A. P. Leased Wire1
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Two Wash ington neWspa permen, J. Fred Essary, head of the Baltimore Sun bureau, and w. W. Price, White House correspond ent of the Washington Star, admitted at the leak inquiry today that on De cember 20 last, they supplied advance forecasts of President Wilson's peace note of December 21, which eventually found their way to the offices of E. F. Hutton X Co.,, New York brokers.
 Essary swore that it was solely through friendship for F. A. Connolly Washington broker and partner of R. w. Boiling, a brother in law of President Wilson, and without finan- cial gain, that he prepared the telegram which Connolly previously had testified he wrote and sent to the Hutton house over his private wire. Such informa- tion as the message contained, Essary said he gained from conversations with other newspapermen and deductions made from his knowledge of the inter national situation. He added that he was not one of the group of corre- ,spondents confidentially advised by Secretary Lansing that the note was coming.
 Price testified he sent two messeges to Chicago brokers, Frederick A. Al drich and Finley, Barrell & Co, telling them he understood Secretary Lansing was about to issue a statement touch ing on peace. He said he was regularly employed to furnish such information. Both went to the same address as that of Clement, Curtis & Co.,, brokers of Chicago, and less than an hour later a message signed Clement and using much of Prices language, was received by the Hutton offices in New York. Price insisted his messages were based on information he had received from other reporters whicn he did not con = sider confidential, and his own inter pretation of the situation.
 A story Mrs. Ruth Thomasson Wis conti told Thomas W. Lawson, alleging that Price was the go-between for Sec retary Tumulty and others in certain Wall street deals during the leak period, brought Price into the hearing weeks ago. With tears in his eyes, Ed : win A Roper, telegraph operator for Connolly, to whom Essary handed the forecast of the note told today how Boiling had pleaded with him to tell the truth and set him right before the : country. Boiling did not know the source of the note, he said, until within a few days.
 For two weeks" said Roper. Boiling was in tears. He said the public looked a. him as though his sister had violated the confidence of the president. I have i been wanting ito come here. but l did ! not want to put Essary in wrong Sev-. eral times l started. but I turned back. Then yesterday Boiling implJred me again to come up and tell the truth. You subpoenaed me and here I am. When l left the office today Boiling said: God bless you."'
 The committee will continue it's ir- vestigation Monday. With tIe infor- nation obtained today, future hearings ! in New York seemed doubtful

 The ambassador was told that the United States would take necessary steps to protect American life and property on the seas and was asked what would happen.
 What will happen?" he replied. T can't say about that. If American war ships are going to convoy ships carry ing ammunition, well, really,-I can't say what will happen" He said he ex- pected to stay in Washington for the present because in view of the situa- ton on the sea he did not see how he was going to return to Germany
 The interview over, Count Bernstorff went into an adjoining parlor and there conferred for half an hour with William Nye of the United States secret service. who had called to arrange for one of his men to remain constantly with the ambassador during the remainder of his stay in the United States. This step was taken as a measure of personal protection.
 Soon after the ambassador called for his automobile and went for a drive through the parks

No final decision seems yet to have been made, but the state de- partnent is expressing to shippers tho informal belief that it would be wiser to postpone sai!ings for the present.
 Whether the government will arm ships or convoy them is a question not finally decided. The navy depart ment says that while all the guns and ms terial necessary for such armament are ready in the various navy yards the decision as to the policy of arm amert rests with the state depart ment
 A definite announcement is expect cd shortly. The state department has been beseiged by shipping men seek ing information as to the govern inent's wishes. Now that the major decision is out of the way, collateral issues are expected to fall rapidly into line.

 WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The note handed to Count von Bernstorff, with his passports, conveying formal noti fication that the United States had severed diplomatic relations, conforms closely in substance to President Will sons address to congress.
 Signed by Secretary Lansing and ad dressed to the ambassador, the com munication reviews tersely the diplo matic correspondence between the two governments since the sinking of the Sussex, using the same quotations that were embodied by the president in his address. It then announces bluntly that "all diplomatic relations between the United States and the German en- pire are severed" that Ambassador Gerard will come home and that Count von Bernstorff's passports have been made ready. The note begins as fol- lows:

 Then follow the quotations used by the president in addressing congress {:
 That from the Sussex note giving notification of severance of diplo- matie relations unless Germanys sub marine warfare is brought within inter- national law; that from the German reply giving new pledges but reserving liberty of action should the allied block aGe continue unmodified: that from the American rejoinder saying that the United States could not predicate Ger many's compliance with international law upon the conduct of another belIig- erent, and lastly that from a memor- anuum accompanying the German ncte Of January 3l, giving notice of unre- strlcted naval warfare
