FRANCE DESCLAIMS
LEAGUE ERgISSARY
Charge dpAffaires Calls at
State Department.

Special Despatch to THE New York HEgALp.
New York HernId Bureau
Washington, ID. c., Oct. TO-
AS a sort OF anti-climax to the effort
of the White House to put Senator
Harding in difficult position because
private citizens of France came to him
and assured him that France looked to
him to lead the world into some sort OF
association of nations. Prince de Bearn,
French Charge d'Affaires here. told the
state Department to-day no emissary
had been sent by his Government for
this purpose.
AS was set forth yesterday, Senator
Harding. prior to the Presidents move to
rebuke Senator Harding and the French
Government at the same time because
he thought both were stepping on the
toes Of the Presidential Office and pre-
negatives, already had gone on record
as correcting what was said. He then
set forth clearly and under no SUCCESS
ton of pressure from Mr.. Wilson or
anybody else, that he had not said an
official of the French Government or
any kind of a representative OF France,
had come to him. IT was private citi-
zen. he then said. and his letter to Mr.
Wilson reiterated this.
However, the French Charge called
upon the state Department. From all
that can be gathered it appears that
Prince de Bearn did this on the strength
of published cables from France, quot
ing the French Foreign office as saying
ator Harding for any purpose.
