GEN. WOOD DECIDES
TO REMAIN IN ARMY
Resignation to Enter Race for
Presidency Indefinitely
Postponed.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP siMMs.
n.txu.tiosaI News s~rvtcr-D

The resignation OF MAJ. Gen. Leon
ard Wood from the army has been
indefinitely postponed. Following the
Chicago conference OF his managers
Il was decided there WAS no immedi-
ate need for him to quit the army to
carry on his campaign Tor the Presi-
dential nomination. and. pending de-
yelopments, he will allow matters to
stand as they are.
At Wood headquarters here IL Is
admitted that the friends and back
ers OF the general arc at variance
one camp holding that his boom can
not make proper headway SO long as
he remains an army commander. the
other maintaining his position offers
certain advantages. Should the Dem
ocratic Administration take him TO
task for his utterances, they believe.
the reprimand would act as a boone
rang. hurting the Democrats more
than II would the general.
General Up 4. Air.
II is understood that General Wood
himself has been as much In the air
as to what he should do as anyone.
and that he is personally inclined to-
ward leaving the army. He is said to
be absolutely opposed to taking ad-
vantage of his official position to pro-
mote his candidacy. and that being
the case, he has more to lose by stay
ing in the army than he has by get
ting out of IL.
Having reached this decision, II Is
understood. Senator Borah's letter to
the general requesting him to state
his position on the Treaty of Yer
sailles and League OF Nations. was
brought up by his managers. In
auiry at Wood headquarters here re-
vealed the belief that ~ would send
the Senator a reply at an early date.

the Wood boom is sailing is some
what bumpy. Strong ascending cur
rents lift it high one day while
pockets let 1t fall just as suddenly

Mississippi Republicans. according
to a telegram from Perry w. How

On the other hand word has reached
Washington that bitter opposition ia
Wood is developing in Oklahoma,
from which State his managers at
first hoped to corral all the Republi-
can delegates.
All this may have some effect in
Ohio where Senator Warren G. Hard
ing is a favorite son and a serious
contender for the nomination. Colonel
Proctor, Woods Ohioan manager, may
not be able to swing his own State
for The general, for the Senator Is
nothing IL not a regular" Republi-
can.
The Wood managers. however, are
busy smoothing out these little
bumps, and headquarters representa-
tives here claim reports from all sec.

Platform.

Herbert Hoover's statement. issued
in New York last night. declaring he

actual enunciation OF his platform.
Officials OF both parties today saw In
II q strong indication that Hoover 10
a receptive candidate" and that this
statement was designed as a practical
declaration OF principles.
Hoover replied to those who say he
Is more OF an Enklishman than an
American by saying: "As an Ameri-
can citizen by birth and OF long an
cestry, I am naturally deeply inter-
ested In the present critical situa-
tion."
Making clear his attitude on the
treaty. he says that II II goes into the
election he will vote for the party
that stands for the league, and incl
dentally he declares for reservations
necessary to the worlds mind; that
there can be no infringement OF the
safeguard provided by our Constitu-
ton and our nation old traditions"
Hoover declares against infringe
ment on the rights OF free speech and
free representation, against those
who seek to regain control of Gov
ernment for proht and privilege,
against any form OF Socialism. ma
tionaliEation Of industry. etc. Many
officials and Congressman here today
considered this one OF the most com
prehensive declarations OF principles
issued by any of those mentioned for

London From the standpoint. of In

of Constantinople. The Indian nation
alists in London, both Hindus and Mo

IN their rooms and flats. And even in /
republic restaurants they freely talk Of
relentless retaliation for the English
occupation Of Constantinople, the threa-
tened disruption Of the Turkish empire.

but they dare not make arrests, lest they
preelpitate the pending revolution in
India.
Not to speak of the nationalist, even
the conservative All-India Moslem dele
cation now in London is using unusually
strong terms in warning the British
government against it's political, terri
torial and commercial ambitions in
Turkey. Their telegram Of protest reads
in part: e @ ss-:s "
