Programme Framed at
Conference With Upstate
Men in Washington

Herbert P. Bissell. of Buffalo. Su-
preme Court justice. will head the
Democratic ticket next fall if the pro-
gramme agreed upon after series of
conferences between upstate Democrat
ic leaders and representatives of Tam
many Hall, held last week at Wash
lngton, is carried out.
The result of these conferences was
learned last night from two of the men
who participated in them. One is a
prominent upstate leader.
The conferences were held at the
request of Tammany Hail, which sent
Senator James A. Foley, personal rep
resentative of Charles F. Murphy, to
present Tammany's claims.
Senator Foley was told that all the
upstate Democrats wanted was for
Tammany to keep its hands off the
wanted it and was entitled to it, and
that under no circumstances would up
state stand for any New York City
man, least of all William Randolph
Hearst.
After a dozen possibilities had been
talked over Senator Foley and other
Tammany men joined with the upstate
leaders in agreeing to back Justice Bis
sell If the upstate leaders who are
nursing other booms would get behind
him.
The advisability of putting woman
on the state ticket, either as Secretary
of State or as State Treasurer, also was
discussed, but it was agreed that this
question could be disposed of better
after the head Of the ticket had been
chosen.
The upstate Democrats will meet in
Syracuse tomorrow. Tammany leaders
suggest that if a candidate is agreed
upon at this meeting a conference of
New York City Democratic leaders will
be called. After they have talked over
the situation they propose to hold a
general pow-wow at the statewide con-
ference which State Chairman Edward
S. Harris plans to hold in Saratoga
next July.
Many Tammany men are fearful that
the Syracuse conference may develop
into a revolt against Tammany Hall.
Some upstate men are inclined to hold
Tammany responsible for Mayor Hy-
lan's espousal of Hearst for Governor,
and fear that Hearst's influence. backed
by the patronage-powcr welded by
Mayor Hylan, may force the local or
ganization tn throw its weight behind
Hearst.
When upstate leaders were told Tam
many would support any candidate with
an unassailablc record. Hudson Valley
representatives asked if Supreme Court
Justice Henry v. Borst, Of Amsterdam,
would fit into that category. They
were informed that he would

But the fog helped conceal the nature
and numbers of this strange army, and
they held on until French and British
soldiers relieved them.
This was the first time the Chinese

Says Foch Has Surprise Ready
The American observer declared that
Generalissimo Foch was biding his
time; waiting for the enemy to make
one false move.
.'Fochs is letting the German army
advanceSin one spot" he declared, "un-

body knows just where they are, but
when the time comes for a counter-of-
fenslve, they will be thrown into the

French troops, Americans and some
Britishers. You can look for the great
surprise to come from them within the
next ten days.

Naval Filler Comes Home
Among the passengers was Lieuten-
naval flier, who took part in several.
bombing expeditions over Bruges. It
was said that these raids were always
accompanied by spectacular displays Of
fireworks, furnished by the German de-
tenders, who would scour the skies
with searchlights and send hundreds
of red and green lights flaming aloft.
The steamship, with these and sew
enty other passengers, was held up for
hours at British port by wireless
message that U-boat was lurking out
side and had attacked an incoming
steamer. The vessel finally departed,
making wide detour, and reached this
port without incident.

Berlin Plotting
To Force Holland
Into War, Is Charge

LONDON, April 22.-According to
"The Daily Telegraph's" Rotterdam
correspondent, plot is being hatched
IN Berlin deliberately designed to
compel Holland to participate in the
war.
Holland, he says, may be faced in
the course Of the next few weeks, or
perhaps days, with the most serious
perils she has. encountered since the
outbreak of hostilities. The facts
have not yet been made public and
cannot be stated, but the correspond
ent has reason to believe that the Ger
man government has already made, or
is about to make, demands, which, if
pressed, would force The Netherlands
to enter the war on one side or the
other.
The writer intimatee that the Ger
mans first move has been made in the
attempt to find pretext tor complaint
1hat Holland departed from neutrality
by acquiescing in the Entente's de-
mands for her mercantile fleete.

Allied Troops
Aid Bolsheviki
Against Films
British and French Guard
White Sea Coast and
Base at KEN
lBy The Associated Press)

MOSCOW, April 14.-British and
French forces nave been landed at
Mourmansk, on the northeast coast Of
Kola peninsula, in the Arctic Ocean, to
reinforce British marine detachment
sent ashore several weeks ago. The
Entente allied troops are cooperating
with Bolshevik forces in protecting the
Mourman coast and the railway against
attacks by Finnish White Guards.
Russian Red Guards also are acting
with British and French troops under
the direction of the Mourman Soviet
War Council, which consists of one
Englishman, one Frenchman and one
Russian.
Finnish White Guards have attacked
the Mourman railway, near KEN, 270
miles south Of Mourmansk and 200
miles west of Archangel, but have been
repulsed by the Entente forces. The
Bolshevik and foreign troops are acting
in harmony, and residents along the
White Sea coast appreciate that the
Entente's assistance is saving the dis
trict from isolation and domination by
the White Guard.
The activities in Manchuria of Gen
eral Semenoff, the anti-Bolshevik lead
err, are being linked by the Soviet press
with the Japanese landing at Vladi-
vostok. His operations are denounced
by the newspapers as part of Japa-
nese plan to invade Siberia, with the
help of China and the connivance of
the Entente allies, who are. alleged to
be supporting at Peking and Harbin
the schemes Of Prince Lvoff, former
Russian Premier, and other refugees,
who, it is alleged, are seeking to estab-
lsh an independent government and to
upset the Soviet power.
No previous mention of the fact that
British marines had been sent ashore
in Northern Russia to cooperate with
the Russian Bolshevik troops has been
permitted by the censor. Recently Jap
anese and British marines were landed
at Vladivostok, the Pacific port of Rus
sia, but this step was against the
wishes of the Russian Bolshevk gov
ernment.
In attacking the Russian railroad
near KEN, on the west coast of the
White Sea, the Finnish White Guard,
which recently has received the sup
port Of the Germans, must have pushed
across the Finnish border and pene-
trated Russian territory for 15O miles
in their efforts to sever communication
by rail with Mourmansk. Archangel is
situated on the east coast of the White
Sea. $50 miles cast Of KEN.
