Senator Harding had nothing to
add for the present to teh state
nent by Hughes. As soon as the
conference was over they and Col.
George Harvey motored to Colum-

Sew York.
Those closest to the President-t
,lect believe, after going over the
ist of public men and women who
probably will be called here. that
he majority opinion will be favor
able to entering the league once
satisfactory notifications can be So
cured.
The eague issue, however. Is only
Dne of the important questions 10
DC settled at the conferences here
Z can be said authoritatively that
Senator Harding considers II less
pressing at the moment than the
financial. industrial and agricultu-
al problems.
Personnel fs Discussed.
While the list has not been mads
public. those who will be called on
the league question probably will
include the following, who favor
entering the league after changes:

Wickersham. Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge, former Secretary of State
Robert Lansing. and Frank l.. Polk.
former Under-Secretary of State:

". Weeks, of Massachusetts,; SEN

Hughes is among those under
