Dublin, July 9-Ten of the main roads into Dublin are occupied by soldiers who have erected barriers of barbed wire where they halt and question occupants of all passing motor cars.
 It is understood the military be- lieve the Sim Feiners are about to change the place of detention of General Lucas, who with Colone1s Danford and Tyrrell, was seized at a hut near Fermo, County Cork late in June. General Lucas was taken to an unknown destination but the oth- CT officers escaped. Reports have reached Dublin that other roads around Irish towns are also being guarded.
 The Dublin County Council has in structed it's officials not to supply any information to<the British income tax authorities nor to allow these au- thorities to examine books or docu- ments.
 The Sim Fein executive in Cork has circulated among the Cork mer- chants a similar warning not to fur nish income tax information, adding:
 Any breach of this order will be severely dealt with.''
 The situation in the west and south is so serious owing to the stoppage of trains that many towns are adopt ing a rationing system as precau- ton.
 The Sim Fein news bureau asserts that British troops were sent to Cashel to remove the decorations put up for the visit of Archbishop Hanna of San Francisco, and Bishop Cant we'll of Los Angeles.

MOOrcAt
 Head Of Fight
Reported From Gov. COx's Headquarters That Candidates Con- ventiOn Manager Will Be At Head of Ma fOnal Committee.

Despatches Arom Ohio are to the effect that Candidate Cox has already ye1ected E. H. Moore of Youngstown, Ohio, as the next chairman of the Democratic National committee to succeed Homer Cummings of Stam- ford Moore was Cox's manager at the San Francisco convention.
 It has always been the policy for the candidate to selecb as the cam paign manager his own favorite and make that man the chairman of the Democratic National committee. But the members of the national commit tee elect the chairman that of course the men chosen probably would not stand in the way of the candidates s choice.
 There isn't any doubt that Chair man Cummings will remain if he de- sires to stay, but it is also probable that he will not allow his own wish es to stand in the way of the wishes of the candidate for the presidency
