that murder was foreign to the nature of

MARCONI MAY COME
AS ENVOY OF ITALY
Rome Seeks Man Who Can
Heal Breach Over Adriatic.
By a stat Correspondent Of THE sUv


PARIS, Aug. 5.--Italy is combing her
parliamentary and diplomatic ranks for
a man of high quality to represent her
in Washington. From a competent Ital-
ian source in Paris It was learned that
Italy on the eve of the settlement of
the Adriatic controversy Is keenly de-
sirous of a rapprochement with the
United States. The Washington En-
bassy. 1t appears has been singled out
for the task of healing any i'll feeling
created by the dispute as well as to
work for closer economic relations be-
tween the two countries.
Only one name so far has been men,
toned prominently for the post of
Italian Ambassador at Washington. 1t
Is that OF Senator Marconi. who. 1t Is
believed, can best serve Italy's purpose
because of his popularity in the United
States. The choice of the inventor APP
pears indeed to be a fat accompli, al
though nothing official has been said
on the subject.
The advent of Signor Marconi in the
Diplomatic Corps, 1t is pointed out, would
create an unusual precedent in Italian
politics. as he is now an active member
OF Parliament. Such a choice, 1t is said.
would tend strongly TO place diplomatic
posts within the sphere of the Legisla-
ture, and the precedent could be invoked
by Parliament In political contingencies.
