COX ID ANSWER HARDING SATURDAY
Democratic Presidential Candidate After Finishing Acceptance Speech. Took Days
 Recreation.

Dayton, Ohio, July 3l.-Finishing his address for next Saturday, accept ing the Democratic presidential nom- ination, Governor Cox today sought recreation after his hard weeks work and prepared to turn to other cam paign affairs.
 Governor Cox today continued to withhold comment on the statement of Senator Harding, charging the Democrats with seeking to obscure the League of Nations issue and de- claring champions of the league with international interest were behind the Democratic campaign fund. It was indicated that the governor would make no response before his address next Saturday and also would con- tinue his policy of refusing through exchange of statements to the press, to enter into that sort of debate. In his forthcoming speeches, however the governors advisers said he would not be backward in the fighting.
 Next week, the governor will dis pose of several campaign matters held in abeyance while he was engag- ed all this week on his address. Among these is reply to F. F. Christensen of Salt Lake City, the Farmer Labor party candidate, re- rarding the request for aid in secur- ing a pardon for Eugene V. Debs, the socialist candidate.
 George White, chairman of the Democratic national committee, is ex- pected here late next week, for con- ferences with the governor prior to the notification ceremonies. The spe- cial campaign committee of 15, it IS believed, will be announced soon af- ter Mir. White sees the candidate. 1t is understood that the direct manage ment of the campaign under Mir. White, will be in the hands largely of E. H. Moore of Youngstown, Ohio, the governors pre-convention manager; Senator Harrison of Mississippi, chairman of the speakers bureau, and Wilbur W. Marsh. of Iowa, treasurer. Senator Harrison also is expected here next week to map out the gov- ernor's speaking itinerary, beginning about August l5.

NIP A PLOT AGAINST FORD.
Youth Who Threatened Death Unless
 Paid $25,oo0 Held.

Paid $25,oo0 Held.
 Detroit, July 29.-One of the boldest attempts yet made to force Henry Ford to pay money on pain of death was squelched today. it is believed, when, after two weeks work by local detectives and postoffice inspectors from three states, the local officials arrested Edward Gordon, 22 years old, and charged him with the attempted crime.
 According to E. E. Fraser, local postoffice inspector. this attempt to force ransom from Mir. Ford was the most. threatening with which local of ficiaIs ever have come in contact. Nothing was left undone in the two weeks effort to apprehend the crimi- nal, he said. and great fears were felt for the safety of MT. Ford and his son, Edsel who also was named.
 The first letter was sent to MT. Ford about three weeks ago. It demanded that $25 900 be sent to Edward War ren, General Delivery, Detroit,' and said that refusal to deliver would re- suit in the deaths of Mir Ford and Edsel
 No one called for such mail, but within week Mir. Ford got a second letter announcing that the sender was aware that detectives had been placed on his trail, making it impossible for him to call at the postoffice for the money and demanding that it be sent in person to Edward Gordon, 420 Dix avenue"
 A dummy package was fixed up to be sent to the name and address giv- en. but before 1t could be delivered, Mir Ford received third letter, even more threatening than the first two. Wednesday afternoon, however, the dummy package was delivered by the regular mail carrier and immediately afterward Gordon was arrested.
