ASSASSINATION
 SINN FEN HEADS PLOTTED, CHARGE
Irish Nationalists' Chief Accuses Britain of Plan-
 ming Reprisals. GREENWOOD SAYS "NO"
Chief Secretary for Ireland Warns Constabulary
 To Co Slow.

DUBLIN, Ireland, Oct. 1.-Arthur Griffith, founder and political head of the Sim Fein, today issued a statement charging that police and military reprisals in Ireland for at tacks on policemen were part Of studied policy of the British Gov ernment and that well defined plct exists for the assassination of all Republican leaders.
 Almost at the same time Sir Homer Greenwood, Chief Secretary for Ireland, warned the Royal Irish Cnostabulary against rerrisals. lie declared that the government, while recognizing the provocation, in no way countenanced such acts as the recent sacking of Balbriggan, Nal lory and other Irish towns by Black and Tan" police, an auxil- iary of the constabulary.
 Griffith is said to be one of the most isolated and inaccessible men in Ireland. The few visitors daily received by him Say they are 1m- pressed by the unpretentiousness of his surroundings. He is as difficult to see, they say, as any big Amer ican political leader
 Close Guard Kept.
 No person not known to Griffith may visit him in his office without previous arrangements made by some one high in the confidence Of Sim Fein. The situation is much the same as a stranger attempting an interview with cabinet officer at Washington.
 Relieved that the irksome pre- liminaries have ended the stranger is taken down side street, ush- cred into a unimposing doorway and led up two flights of narrow, un- painted steps to an office. Inside the front door the stranger is confront ed with a pine-board partition with one small door through which he is taken. He passes through a scene familiar in any small-town news paper into an uninviting room where Griffith holds forth. The furniture consists of table in the middle of the room and few chairs.
 Warrant for Arrest.
 There is no necessity now or has there been for many months Tor Griffith to surround his movements with secrecy It has been stated that warrant for his arrest is ready but many leading Sim Fein- CTS believe Government officials consider him a moderating innu- ence and worth more directing the party's activities than looked upon as martyr in jail.
 Griffith is as unassuming as his surroundings are unpretentious. TO one who does not express conVlc- tions on the Irish question, Grifhth leaves outstandingly the impression that he has ceased to believe any English Government in Ireland exists. The one idea left is that the Republican gocernment is rui- ing the country properly but having most difficulty with an army or occupation and a number of police men.
 Griffiths sphere is only political, the blaming and execution of fierce of arms being under jurisdiction of the Volunteer Army

BORAH REFUSES TO CAMP AICN FOR HARDING LONGER Idaho Senator lnstructs Republicans to Cancel
 Speaking Dates. ANCERED OVER LEAGUE Dissatisfaction With Nom- inee's Approval of Root
 Plan Reported.
ANGERED OVER LEAGUE

WASHINGTON, Oct. Limited States Senator William E. Borah bitter opponent of the League Of Nations covenant who has been cam paigning for Senator Warren c. Hard ing, Republican Presidential Nom inee, today wrote Republican Nation al headquarters at New York ask ing that no further speaking dates be arranged for him.
 He is known to have received and studied the Root plan for an inter- national court, and to be opposed to 1t largely on the ground that it was designed as a part of the machinery of the League.
 The scope and plans for the inter- national court were prepared by oiil- inent international lawyers represent ing the United States, France, Great Britain and other countries. Elihu Root of New York, was one of the American representatives in the plan and scope of the 3tropossss court, and took a leading part in It's formation.
 Adjunct of League
 The plans adopted, make the pro posed international court an adjunct of the League of Nations, and only those countries which are members of the League can have representa- tion in 1t. The United States would have to join the League of Nations therefore, in order to have represen- tation in the international court.
 Sen. Harding is understood to have approved the Root idea, and thereby to have angered Sen. Borah.
 Borah today refused to discuss re- ports that his sudden determination to withdraw from Harding's cam paign followed preparation of a ser ies of questions by Sen. Hiram w.. Johnson of California and himself, asking the Republican nominee to clarffy his position on the League.
 Teieeraphs Johnson
 At the same time, however, that he wrote the Republican headquar- ters, he telegraphed Senator John son and this afternoon was await ing a reply. It is reported that the telegram concerned the League CT Nations issue.
 SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 1.-Com- menting on the fact that Sen. Borah has cancelled future speaking dates with the Republican campaign organ ization, Sen. Hiram w. Johnson thls afternoon said
 "In my opinion, and this say from his public uterances, Sen. Hardihg has scrapped the League of Nations.
 Sen. Johnson said he had re- ceived no telegram from Sen. Borah' He is understood to have no idea of not completing his own speaking program for the Republican ticket.
