Bryan So|eInn|y Warns Dem. Leaders
Perennial Candidate Says s They Must Conform to His Wishes or Suffer Ostra- cism.

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 21.-William Jen- nings Bryan, speaking here today un- der the auspices of the Anti Saloon League of America, declared that he would oppose any movement to bring about the selection of Governor Ed ward 1. Edwards of New Jersey as the democratic nominee for president in 1920.
 The former secretary of state also asserted that if the address made by Homer $. Cummings, chairman of the democratic national committee, at the dinner held last night in Newark in honor of the newly inaugurated New Jersey executive correctly expressed the chairman's attitude he would op- pose him for chairman of the national committee.
 Edwards has picked out my own state, Nebraska, to launch his cam paign in," declared MT. Bryan. But if Nebraska instructs for Edwards. I'll never be delegate to the national convention"
 Referring to the address made by Chairman Cummings MT. Bryan said:
 If that is Cummings attitude, he'll never be chairman of the democratic committee again if I can help it''
 Following an eloquent appeal for support of the Anti-Saloon League, he digressed to say:
 Twenty years ago, eommenc- ed running for president" and laugh ter followed.
 Nineteen hundred years ago." he added, the wise men came from the east. And New York editors think they are still coming. No reform ever started in New York and they can have no faith in reform of any kind"

Slump in Foreign
 Exchange Market
British Demand Bills Fall to $3.6O 3-4EGerman Mark is Quoted Under 1-2 Cents.

New York, Jan. 21.-Utter collapse and demoraliza tion overlook the for eign exchange market today, result. ing in new low records for British, French, Italian and various other Eu- ropean re1nittances.
 The rate for British demand LiIs fell to s3.6O 3-4, or 3 Ia cc.i.- c.27se-f- - its previous minimum, and Paris cheeks, fires and Belgian francs broke in corresponding or greater degree.
 Dealers in exchange were again in elined to attribute today's collapse to such we'll known and long existing conditions as the unfavorable trade balances against almost all the for eign centers and the. failure of the United States senate to- ratify the peace treaty. 4s7
 In other quarters, where the situ- ation has given risesto increased mis- givings, foday's slump was more di- rectly associated with the process of "deflation," due to the stringent credit conditions denia nded by the federal reserve board.
 The latest reversal in exchange is believed to bear close relation to the policy recently inaugurated by the central bank, which aims to reduce all unnecessary credits.
 It is understood that many financial institutions, banking houses and in dividuals have been holding large amounts of exchange, thereby tying up enormous sums of cash. Today liquidation and that which is expected to follow will have the effect of turn ing frozen credit into liquid form.
 Trustworthy reports agree that there has been much speculation in foreign exchange and drastic overhauling of this situation is deemed essential to help stabilize domestic monetary con- ditions.
 Francs, with a normal or pre-war value of about 19 cents, fel Ito the point where it took almost twelve to purchase an American dollar, while tires or Italian exchange, ordinarily on a parity with French quotations, drop ped to a level where almost fourteen were required to equal the American dollar.
 No important form of exchanges not even rubles, which are only nominal " quoted at 1-2 to 4 94 cents against the pre-war- quotation o1 51 1-2 cents, has suffered as much as the German mark. Quoted before the war at .23 Is ceAts the mark today dwindled to slightly under 1-2 cents

 Referring to Chairman Cummings attendance at an inaugural dinner for Governor Edwards of New Jersey last night in Newark, MT. Bryan declared that Cummings must either separate from the New Jersey executive or re- sign as head of the democratic na- tional committee.
 "The democratic party" said MT. Bryan, lis too near me to ever con- sent to have it's interests allied with those of the liouor interests"
 Bryan scored Governor Edwards for his stand on the prohibition question and fayed Cummings for what he termed the chairman's apparent sup port of the New Jersey governor.
 'The democratic party is too near and dear to ne to allow me to let 1t be buried with the Iiouor interests. :" declared MT. Bryan. If am elected delegate to the national convention and my state instructs me to vote for MT. Edwards, I will refuse to serve, won't join with MT. Edwards in lfg1hS u tltA II l4iC NO4AAOSA IAN PeNA y over to the liquor interests.
 If the chairman he continued, re- ee-ring to Mir. Cummings ''has not sense enough to know better than to join in a boom for a candidate like that. he hasn't sense enough to be on the committee.''
 MT. Bryan took a fling at Edwards again when he referred to reports that Edwards had announced his candi- dacy for president in Nebraska and Virginia.
 T don't know why Mir Edwards went to Nebraska to announce his candidacy he said, unless he wanted a hot fight. And if he did, he sure came to the right place. If Edwards comes down here. I want you to be ready for him.
 Asserting that the liquor interests wers going to take the fight against nationwide prohibition into politics and try to elect a wet president on wet platform the former secretary of state announced he could bring ev- | idence to prove his statements.
