Washington, August .1--(By the A. P.)-Advances of intrastate rates freight, passenger and Pullman-to cor respond with the interstates increases au- thorized yesterday by the interstate Commerce Commission, will be asked or the various state railway commissions by the carriers, it was stated here to- night by Alfred P. Thom, general counsel for the Association of Railway Execu- tives.
 Such intrastate rate increases, Mir. Thom said, will not add to the total in come provided for by the federal com missions decision because in submitting their estimates the carriers calculated an a basis of increases of both interstate and intrastate rates
 Publications to the state commissions are now being prepared by the railroads and it is expected by the railway ex- rcQtives that the increases Will De granted. Should any state commission refuse to authorize them, however, the carriers, MT. Thom said, will proceed under the transportation act and ask hearing before the Interstate Commerce Commission to determine whether the xisting intrastate rates are dlscrlrnlha- tory or prejudicial to interstate com merce.
 IT was pointed out by MT. Thom that three representatives of the state com 
 mission sat with the federal commission during the public hearings the aPpll- cation of the carriers. They will make reports to the state commissions ana MT Thom said it was thought that ther opinions would have weight with the state bodies.
 Since the increases in passenger, Pullman. excess baggage and milk rates were made general for the entire coun- try by the federal commission, the rai- roads will ask for corresponding ln- creases in each state. The percentage of advaces in intrastate freight rates which the roads will request, however ; will correspond to the percentage au- +borized in the territory in which the state is located. This increases request ed in eastern states would be 40 per cent; in southern states 25 per cent; n Western states 35 per cent and III Noun tain Pacific states 25 per cent.

Former Governor of Indiana and Prohibition Candidate For President in 1916.

Marion, Ohio, Aug. 1.-Senator Hard ing spent Sunday of almost complete relaxation from the cares of the cam paign. Most of the day he remained at home resting, and only once or twice did he look in at his office in the ad- ministration building next door. He and Mrs. Harding had dinner with a party of neighbors and in the afternoon chatted with friends who dropped in, for Sunday calls. They did not attend services during the morning as usual, their church being closed because of the illness of the pastor.
 The senator's only conference duriL~ the day was with Representative Will liam E. Mason of Illinois. who has been one of the leaders in congress for rec ognition of the Irish republic. MT. Ma son said he only had come to Marion to pay his respects to the nominee but he indicated that he might have a statement to make later about their talk.
 Tomorrow Senator Harding will go to wrok on the second of his front porch speeches, to be delivered Wednesday. Another will follow on Thursday, the delegations in both cases coming from neighboring Ohio cities.

The Illinois senator, who is attached to na- tional headquarters, declared ''the sol emn referendum which Dr. Wilson has sought" would be carried out.
 The democratic atetitude he charac- terized as amusing in view of recent utterances by European statesmen.
 Tn an official statement published in London papers now received here" Sena- tor McCormicE's statement continued, the British prime minister says that obviously the covenant must be revised in order to secure American adhesion to any league, and that it will be revised for the better. Lord Grey proposes that new president, in consultation with the senate shall be invited to rewrite the entire plan for a concert among the nations and warns against accepting again as representative of the American people the personal views of party leader.
 "It is the plain truth that in France and England responsible public men bit +erly deplore the misrepresentation o1 America by Dr. Wilson"
