 To six large audiences at Syracuse Rochester and Buffalo, the candidate carried his preachments upon the league.
 At the Broadway Auditorium and Genessee Hall here tonight Govern or Cox declared that Senator Hard ing had made "slip" in stating that he had been approached "unofficial- ly" by French representative re- garding "a world fraternity.

City Not Alarmed.

 Stuttgart, Ark, Oct. 18.-Although rice farmers in this section have been warned not to sell their rice to the Standard Rice Milling Company an extensively capitalized concern that operates the second largest rice mill in the world at this place, and rumors persist that warning receive cd by the milling company threaten ing destruction of the mill, the situa- tion here is not viewed with alarm.
 Extra guards were posted at the mills however, tonight and close viz Hence is being kept to prevent possi- ble trouble.
 The warnings received by the farm CTS were mailed at Stuttgart, some time Saturday night, being dropped into street mail boxes. All of them bear similarity of hand writing, it is stated and authorities are inclined to believe that they were prepared by one person, possibly an alarmist or perhaps by some one acting for a small clique of growers. The mis- sives were scribbled in an attempt to disguise style. They carried no threats-those received by the farm ers-simply stating: Warning, do not sell your rice to the Standard Rice Milling company"
 Most of the letters were received in Monday mornings mail. Four or five of the letters were received in Stutt- gart.
 Low Market Cause
 The only explanation of the letters, if the supposition they were sent out from the activity displayed recently by might riders" proves untrue, is that group of farmers blame the large milling company for the low market price of rice, which is in the proximity of dollar it is stated. |
 Because the Standard interests are so extensively financed it was ex- plained that their methods of hand ling the crops, which comprises an installment purchasing plan, and on account of their large storage capac- ity some farmers have been assumed they were directly responsible for the poor market price for rice. There are two other mills at Stuttgart. It has not been rumored that warnings were received by these concerns, Neither has it been confirmed that the Standard mill received warn- ing carrying with it threat to de- stroy the plant.
 The letters warning farmers have been turnde over to Federal authori- ties and an investigation has been in- stituted, it was stated.

Washington, Oct. 18.-President Wilson took steps today to ascertain whether the French government hac given authority to "representa- tive of France" to approach Sena. tor Harding informally" with the request that the republican presi. dential nominee take the lead in the formation of an association of ma. tions.
 At the same time the white house made public the text of letter ad- dressed to Senator Harding by Pres ident Wilson inquiring as to the cor rectness of a statement attributed to the senator in dispatch dated St Louis, October 16, in which the candidate was quoted as having said he had been approached.
 q need not point out to you," the president wrote, "the grave and ex- traordinary differences to be drawn from such a statement, namely, that the government of France, which is a member of the league of nations approached private citizen of a nation which is not member of the league with a request "that the Unit ed States lead the way to world fraternity"
 Neither officials at the white house nor at the state department would comment on the nature of the inquiry directed to the French gov ernment. It was understood, how ever, that the note was transmit ted by the state department to the French government through Ambas- sador Wallace in Paris. At the French embassy it was stated that received there for transmission.
 Secretary Humility said that nc reply had been received by the white house either from Senator Harding or the French government up to late hour.
 Presidents Letter.
 The letter of the president to Sen ator Harding follows:
 Eighteenth of October, 1920.
 "My Dear Senator:
 "In the New York Times of yes terday, Sunday, October 17, 1920 I find a statement dated St. Louis October 16, which purports to repre- sent certain public utterances o1 yours. In it. occurs the following:
 "Replying to criticisms of his proposal for an association of na- tions, he said in rear platform speech at Green Castle, Ind, that he already had been approached Intor- mally' by representative of France who asked that the United States lead the way to world fraternity
 "I write to ask if this is correc, quotation and if you really salc what is there attributed to you. need not point out to you the grave and extraordinary inference to Dc drawn from such a statement, name ly, that the government of France which is member of the league o1 nations, approached private cltl' zen of a nation which is not a mem Der of the league with request 'that the United States lead the way to world fraternity
 "The department of state has al ways found the government o1 France most honorably mindful o1 it's international obligations ane puncticuously careful to observe al the proprieties of international ln tercourse. I hesitate, therefore, tt draw the inferences to which l have referred unless I am assured by vol that you actually made the state ment.
 "Very truly yours, WOODROW WILSON"
