 MARION, Ohio, July 9-Senator Harding, the Republican candidate for president, was urged to take a firm stand in support of national prohibit ton in his speech of acceptance at a conference today with J. Frank Hanly, prohibition candidate for president in 1916. Later it was announced the speaker had not committed himself regarding the matter while Mir Hanly said he hoped to be able to support him, but would wait to see what the senator said in his speech
 Mir Hanly denied that he came to Marion to present the matter to the Republican nominee on behalf of the prohibition advocates, but said the conference was sought at his own in stance. As a prohibftionist, the for mer governor of Indiana said he would find it difficult to support Governor Cox and announced he would not at tend the national prohibition conven- ton to be held in Lincoln, Neb., July 21, adding he opposed placing a na tional prohibition ticket in the field this fall.
 Favors "Bone- Dry" Congress III NItW Ol lli& passage D9 COISIcSS of the enforcement act and its sus- tention by the United States supreme court, Mir. Hanly said, the matter re- solves itself into the election of a con gress favorable to the maintenance of { the present law"
 MT Hanly explained however. this was his own personal view and not l that of the Ohio senator whom, he said, made no comment" MT. Hanly said he favored the prohibitionists placing their power next November where it would do the most good in stead of nominating their own presi- dential candidate.

 the senator desiring to leave certain
 subjects for more detailed discussion in
 subsequent addresses

 brief respite over the week end from the steady grind under which he has been laboring since his return to Ma rion last Monday went glimmering to- day when it was announced that Major ! General Leonard Wood. candidate foI the Republican presidential nomina tion at Chicago, would arrive late to- morrow for a conference, while Sena- tor Cummins, Republican of Iowa, also 1 was expected on the same train.
