PLATFORM DATA
Of REPUBLICANS
IS COMP { TE D
Big Start Has Been Made
Toward Constructing the
Frame Work of DecIara-
ton of Principles, Say.


Washington. May 19.-Execu
tives of the republican committee
of III, in conference with other
leaders of the party, today put the
finishing touches on the data col
lected by the committee for use in
framing the national platform.
Completing two days of discus
sion on the twenty-nine subjects
covered by the committees report,
the party chiefs declared complete
harmony had been attained on
these subjects and a big start made
toward constructing the frame
work of platform on which all
republicans could unitey In the
form to which it had been revised,
the committee report will be dis
tributed to convention delegates
and submitted to the convention s
platform committee for its guild
ance.
All of the subjects included, in
the committees report and dis
cussed yesterday and today, how
ever, relate to domestic affairs and
do not touch on some problems
which are expected to be storm
centers at the convention. The
treaty of Versailles, Mexico and
liquor were among the topics omit
ted alike from the committees re-
port and from the round table dis
cussion. These subjects are expect
ed to be taken up in consultations
during the next few days. although
leaders said no final program could
be agreed on before the meeting of
the convention. Will H. Hays, ma
tional chairman. and other promi-
nent republicans will remain in
Washington most of this week, and
with the report of the committee of
III out of the way, they are ex-
pected to turn their attention to
other issues.
The feeling among the titular
leaders of the party is understood
to be that republican senators can
most easily work out the partys
declarations on foreign affairs, in
cluding the plank in the treaty.
The senator's already have { done
considerable work in that direction,
but it was said tonight that there
had been no agreement on details,
