Lloyd George Receives
Evasive Soviet Reply
Russian Attitude on Foreign
Debt and Seized Property
Is Unsatisfactory

LONDON, June 29.--Leonid Krassin
Russian Soviet Minister of Trade and
Commerce, conferred for an hour to-
night with Lloyd George at 10 Downing
Street.
The object of M Krassin's visit was
to submit to Mr.. Lloyd George
Moscow's reply concerning the
Soviet governments attitude toward
the foreign debt and private prop
erty of foreigners appropriated BY
the Russian government. 1t is said
that the reply was unsatisfactory, but
the negotiations will be continued. The
reply is said to be in the nature of
counter-proposals of an evasive char
acter: hence no substantial progress in
the negotiations has been made.
MIR. Lloyd George reiterated his pre-
vlous viewpoint that notifications of
the Soviet attitude with regard to pris-
oners of war and the situation in
Persia were essential to the future
success of the negotiations.

Bolt Improbable If
Convention Names
Ticket, Says Clynn-
Does Not Think Republican
Candidate Would Make
Primary Fight; Thomp-
son Is Possible Exception

There is little possibility that any
avowed Republican gubernatorial as
pirant will oppose the selection of the
state convention if it names ticket
at the Saratoga Springs convention.
next month, according to State Chair
man George A. Glynn.
If the convention designates
ticket I don't think any one not so
designated will make primary fight
against the selection of the conven-
tion," MIR. Glynn said yesterday He
named Senator George F. Thompson. of
Niagara, as a possible exception. cali
ing attention to the Senator's recent
opposition to granting the convention
authority to name a list of candidates
for state Offices.
Mr.. Glynn attached no Importance 20
Secretary of State Hugos refusal to
say definitely whether he would enter
the primaries as an independent in
case he is not recommended by the con-
vention.
Mr.. Hugo, over long distance tele-
phone from Albany, would not answer
the question directly. He said:
81 have gotten out my petitions and
am going into the primaries. think
every enrolled Republican has the right
to enter"
He refused to say whether he based
this reiterated statement on 8 belief
that no ticket would be recommended
by the convention in July.
Chairman Glynn announced the ap-
pointment of Henry l.. Sage, of Albany.
and John Lord O'Brian, of Buffalo, as
members of the resolutions committee
of the convention. No temporary chair
man has been named, and Mr.. Glynn
said this would not be done until after
July 4, when he's would return from
Syracuse. A permanent chairman for
the convention will be appointed at a
meeting of the executive committee to
be called July II by Congressman Bert
Smell

And again he needed the inspiration tt
folly which 10000 spectators provid,
when he played the muse of histor,

Jefferson Suggested as Umpire
Personally we would like to wager
500 with Mr.. Cummings that Presi-
dent Wilson is not immortal. Since
1t would take such a tedious wait ia
decide the bets it might be reframed on
the issue that President Wilson. will
not be considered the greatest Ameri-
can of his day 200 years from now
We'll let Thomas jefferson decide and
Andrew Jackson can hold the stakes if
that's agreeable to Mr.. Cummings.
we have a notion that young man
might go far in politics if he would
never descend to oratorv. If he would
talk to 10000 people in the same spirit
which he would use for ten, this young
man would not claim everything for his
party or his candidate. There would be
no pretense that another Lincoln OF
greater was available for the office
nor would the assertion be made that
failure to elect the candidate to the
Board of Aldermen would of necessity
put the United States back a hundred
years. The young man of our vision
would make clear and vigorous case
against his political foes without sug-
gestlng that they were seeking to over
throw the Republic or corrupt the cleo
torate. He would speak about twenty
minutes, and mostly he would keep his
hands in his pockets. Our candidate
tor permanent chairman of all conven-
tions from now on is this young man.
Possibly he would not be success.
Crowds are curious. The most en-
thusiastic demonstration yesterday, al
though not the longest, was for SIAM
Mr. Cummings was naming the coun-
tries which have Joined the League of
Nations: Brazil, Bolivia, Canada, Lii
beria," he said, without a ripple of re-
action. "Siam," and hundreds of dele
gates began to applaud furiously and
the band in the balcony played Dixie" "
Siam, as you may remember, is south
Of the Mason and Dixon line. We have
not been able to figure it out. Ireland
was cheered little earlier in the day
and there was a very scattering tribute
to Armenia, although most of the dele
gates kept a stony silence at this point
Perhaps they have rugs which aren't
doing we'll. But why Siam?
At first we thought that possibly
there might be great many twins at
the convention. That would hardly ac
count for the size Of the demonstra-
tion, but then we remembered the

was great speech and that Mr.. Cum
mings had developed from dark horse
to place among the light bays. We
have the misfortune to be with the
minority. 1t did not seem a great
speech to US, although there were ele-
ments of excellence in the first hour
and half. But we do not pretend to
be competent observer.
Partisanship is not the trouble. AS
Socialist we find not the slightes st

as heartily as Republicans. Our handi

Oratory's Own Vocabulary
Whenever a speaker faces an audi
ence OF more than a thousand persons

language of our day is discarded for
phrases that will hit the rafters. Curl.
Gus gestures come into being. Nothing
is casual, calm or reasoned. Mr.. Cum
mlngs shocked US because we had seen
hlm day after day sitting in chair
in hotel room talking quietly and
sensibly and keenly to the newspaper
men. He was partisan, but persuasive.
Whenever he made a particularly
sweeping claim for his party he smiled
little to show that his hearers need

that Senator Lodge played too small
a part in the treaty fight, but he did
not raise one hand to heaven and tell
us that mo blacker crime against
civilization has ever soiled the pages
of our history"
Again Mr.. Cummings often spoke of
PRESIDENT Wilson during these news
paper conferences. 1t was evident
mat ne was sincere admirer of the
PRESIDENT and when he gave US his
conception of the difficulties which Mr..
Wilson encountered in France, even
the skeptics had respect for his
warm but well-ordered faith in a lost
leader. We had no such respect until
Mr.. Cummings hushed the convention
to acute silence so that he might
whisper "the great man was stricken"
Nor yet when he drew himself up like
bald but avenging angel to blame
the Republican party for Mr.. Wilson's
illness and to exclaim, "this was the
aff1ic tion-this the crucifxion." 1t was
too thick. 1t was almost terrifying.
For the first time we realized that a

Robinson Attacks Harding


Senator Robinson departed consider
ably from his prepared address and
launched into an attack on Senator
Harding, the Republican dental
nominee, who, he said, had referred to
Hiram johnson as a faker and Theo-
dore Roosevelt as a Benedict Arnold
The Californians in the audience
seemed to like the reference to John
son and applauded 'roundly
While Senator Robinson was deliver
ing his speech the leaders and conven-
ton managers took the opportunity to
confer in Railways and tentatively
agreed that when the convention ad-
journed this afternoon it would be un-
der resolution to assemble again to-
morrow morning at II o'clock, when
the delivery of nominating speeches
will be begun. 1t was said there was
no plan to hear the nominating
speeches at to-day's session.
Robinson closed with a League of
Nations peroration that brought the
audience to its feet cheering and with
three cheers for Joe Robinson"
The permanent chairman's first an
nouncement was that the report of the
committee on rules would be received.
1t was presented by Thomas J. Spell
