 ator Harding advised by Senators Lodge
 and Penrose, endeavored by pursuing a
 non-committal policy regarding the
 League of Nations, to hold to his banner
 ex-Presdent Taft and his school on the
 one hand. and Senator Borah and Senator
 Johnson the other.
 It becamt known this afternoon that Senator BoSah had kicked over the
 traces He announced that he will not
 fill any other engagements under the national committed, This announcement
 was almost contemporaneous with one from Marion that MT. Taft would take the stump in support of the republican ticket
 Senator Borah in Washington this aft ernoon. declined to be interviewed by this bureau It is anticipated. however. tEat very soon he will make a public statement. The indications are that Borah is convinced that Senator Harding is not living up to an understanding un- occasionally given that at heart he was bitter against the league as Borah would have him be-
 The Borah defective follows soon on the heels of the statement by Harding that all factions. like the Biblical lion and lamb, were lying down together. The admission by Borah that he is through created a sensation today. He says that his future speeches would be in behalf of candidates such as Sen- ator Brandegee of Connecticut, who are l s'bitter-enders'' and for that reason, re- ouire assistance.

DENY BORAH HAS
 QUIT CAMPAIGN

New York. October 1.--Party leaders at republican headquarters today secuted the idea that Senator Borah had "quit the campaign as reported earlier in the day on the strength of letter in whihc he Is said to have asked that no further speak ing engagements be made for him.
 tNo letter has been received here which indicates that Senator Borah intends to quit an official of the republican prb- licity bureau said.
 Several days ago we did have let ter from the Senator asking that no more engagements be made for him at present. We understood this to mean that he had made engagements of his own according to his custom. Senator Borah has been handling his own intinaries under our supervision. There is no occasion for surprise that he should make such request
 It was pointed out that Senator Borah has three engagements to speak in Con- necticut next week. These have not oeen canceled 1t was said. He is scheduled to speak at Danbury, on October f, New flame on October 6, and Hartford on October
 Announcement was made today that Senator Harding would De actively SUD- ported during the remainder O. ,ne cam paign by Governors Frank O. Lowden. of Illinois, and William c. Sprouie. of Pennsylvania. both of whom were can- didates in the primary contest.

 ns republican majority is today out aE aiiH MT. Daniels said adding that "as soel as the supreme court acts, it will be in the penitentary."
 But for the purchase of a seat in the Senate from Michigan" the secretary declared, 'the republicans could not have packed the foreign relations com mttee against the League of Nations, could not have packed the finance com mittee against any reduction of taxes and could not have packed the other committees against any legislation looking to the reduction of the cost of living. By means of this slender and corrupt majority every measure looking to world peace and world sta bility and national development has been frustrated"
 Mir. Daniels scored what he described as the "do-nothing" record or repub- licans during their control in Congress. declaring they had been "recreant 10 their promises" to readjust war taxes reduce the cost of living, although they had held the absolute power" to do this for two years But for these promises. since repudiated," and the fact that four million young men serving their country in war could not vote" the re- publicans never would have secured a majority in the House the secretary as- serted.

RUSSIAN RIGHTS IN
 CHINA SUSPENDED
U. s. Communicates With Other Governments Relative
 to Action Against Course
By Associated Press

Washington, October 1.--Acceptance by China of a proposal from the Rus sian bolshevik authorities that they formally renounce all rights and con- sessions previously exercised by the Russian government in China has prompted the state department to open informal negotiations with other opposition to such course.
 Actuated by the principle laid down in the American note to the Italian ann bassador that 'all decisions of vital inn portance" to the interests of Russia should be held in abeyance until a recognized government is established there, the state department also has inquired of the Chinese government in. formally as to the nature of the inn pairment of Russian rights in China n- volved.
 Officials did not state today what nations had been approached by the American government as to the ma tier, but it is assumed that Great Britain, France Italy and Japan were among them It is understood that negotia- tions with Peking are being conducted through Minister Crane.
 Action was taken here upon the re- ceipt from MT. Crane of an official mandate issued September 23 by the Chinese government suspending all Russian rights in China and requesting the withdrawal of all diplomatic and consular representatives of the former Kerensky government by whom Russia throw of the Czar. The Russian So- viet government last April.

Since the overthrow of the Car this has been paid by China to Prince Kandacheff, the Russian minister representing the Kerensky regime.
 Not only have the Kerensky repre- sentatiyes in China been maintained by this indemnity. it was said, but Kerensky's diplomatic missions in other countries. including Boris Kakhmeteff. Russian ambassador here. have been supported by these annual payments since kerensky's fall.
 In addition to renouncing the Boxer indemnity. control exercised by Russia in conjunction with China and Japan over the Chinese eastern railway was surrendered by the bolsheviki

There was no explana- ton here today of the reason for hid messages to New York and Chicago relU 1liCan c3dqCe rters, other than re- ports shat he and other league oppo- nents had become disquieted by the at ttude of many party leaders to the league covenant, as drawn at Versailles, and submitted t. the Senate by Presi- dent Wilson.
 The Senator himself would not dis cuss the matter. Senator Borah is known to have received and devoted much stuhy to the international court plan, as brought back from Europe by ElihG Root If New York who helped to draft fl, and it was learned today that the Senator is opposed to the plan. His opposition was said to be based largely on the ground that the court was designed as part of the ma achin- cry of the League of Nations.
