II Is also noticed that the move

During the first three days Of this

A committee of Indiana women has
urged the governor that>some sort Of

their allegiance to the League. Cow
ernor Cox has taken the suggestion
under advisement.
Governor Cox In determined to con-
tinue his attack upon Senator Hard
ing for alleged vacillation with re-
spect to the League of Nations.
"HardinE's declaration at Des
Moines," the governor said, cost him
thousands Of votes, and his managers
were quick to recognize that fact.
That explains his sudden change Of
front"
HOPES FOR SPLIT.
From now on until election Gov
ernor Cox will continue his contention
that Harding has no fixed conviction
about the League. but is merely try
ing to hold the warning elements Of
the party together. In this way Cox
hopes to bring about split between
the Borah-Johnson "irreconcilables"
and the Root Taft factions which he
believes are sincerely in favor OF the
League of Nations.
Governor Cox was In good humor
today as a result OF the victory Of the
Cleveland baseball club In the world
series. He sent a telegram OF con-
graduation to iris Speaker.
