Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c.. Aug. !.
State Department officials were not
disturbed to-day by the unofficial warn
ing from Toxic that unless programme
OF topics to be discussed at the coming
disarmament conference is fxed in ad-
vance the conference will result in a
deadlock
Ing the agenda with japanese Ambas-
sador Shidehara and the diplomatic rep
resentatives of Great Britain, France
and Italy, and it is expected satisfac-
tory understanding will soon be reached.
IT is realized in ofcia, circles that
Japan would like to exclude from the
conference any discussion of her past
and present relations with China. but
the Administration believes this subject.
in SO far as It has bearing on a general
settlement of Far Eastern questions,
cannot be kept out of the discussion, no
matter what sort of preliminary agree
ment is made.
President Harding and Secretary
when the delegates get around the coun-
Gil table, anything and everything that
has an important connection with dis
armament and Pacific problems VIII
necessarily be drawn into the discussion.
The United States has not changed it's
opinion that a preliminary conference
would be unwise, but press reports from
Toxic indicated to-day that Japan is
backing up Great Britain In proposing an
advance meeting. This country has not
committed itself positively against a
preliminary meeting and 1t is therefore
quite possible that II sufficient pressure
is exerted by japan and Great Britain.
1t will yield.
When asked to-day about the sug-
gestion in British newspapers that Pre-
nier Lloyd George and the British Dom
Inion Premiers might come to Washing
ton in advance of the formal conference
for a talk" with heads OF the Ameri-
can Government, State Department offi-
cials said they did not want to COM
ment on any of the plans of the British
Government at this time.
The State Department is making ready
for the conference by organizing a
corps Of American experts on naval and
Far Eastern matters. 1t was announced
officially to-day that Il. T. williams OF
Berkeley. Cal. and Basil Miles OF this
city have Joined the departmental staff
and will act as special assistants to
the American delegation at the con-
ference
Definite information from the invited
nations as to their wishes regarding
the date of the conference is expected
this week. 1t is believed date will
soon be agreed upon. As soon as that
is done President Harding will issue the
formal invitations

Okuma Wants Yap Issue
Kept From Arms Farley
By the Associated Press.

TOXIC, Aug. l.-Speaking at
meeting of the Japanese
immigration Society here to-
day, Marquis Okuma, former
Japanese Foreign Minister, in
sisted on the undesirability of
bringing .up settled questions at
the forthcoming Washington
conference on Far Eastern ques-
tions, and said the discussion of
the questions of Yap and Shan
tung should not be tolerated.
Viscount Shibusawa urged the
Importance of Japan's insist
ence on her rights within limits
which would not violate interna-
tional morality, as wrongs done
to any country would result in
complication. Baron Sakatani,
financial adviser to China, advo-
Gated Japan's entering the con-
ference in real earnest. He sup
posed that China and Siberia
would be considered likewise
dangerous on account of racial
prejudices. He declared that If
the Powers come to definite
understanding on these matters
the conference would go a long
way toward guaranteeing peace.

TAMMANY CERTAIN
TO STAND BY HYLAN
Meeting of County Demo-
cratic Committee Is
Purely Perfunctory.
MAY0RALTY DECIDED
Craig Probably Will Be
Chosen to Run Again
for Comptroller.
MAY0RALTY DECIDED

Tanmany intends to name officially
its ticket for the municipal election
before the end of this week. and Mayor
Hyian will head that ticket for re-
election. That was about the only
enlightcning fact coming last night
out OF the meeting Of the New York
County Democratic Committee at
Tammany Hall. 1t is expected that
the designations for the primary win
be made either Thursday or Friday OF
this week.
The committee held a routine and
perfunctory meeting for the formaI
announcement Of the Forthcoming
primary and the offices for which can
didates are to be named then. The
Tammanyites then adjourned with
much the air that the ticket is cut and
dried, or. IL not, that it will be cut and
dried for them. There was no excite
ment over who might or might not be
named; there was no discussion of
that question in the meeting and not
a great deal of private discussion of
1t in the corridors OF the wigwam.
In all the talk. however. there was
never the slightest suggestion that any
one other than Mayor Hylan would carry
the banner at the head of the Tammany
cohorts this fall.
Although there could be found those
who professed TO be In ignorance con-
corning the rest OF the ticket, the general
opinion among the leaders seemed 10 be
that Comptroller Charles l.. Craig, ces-
pite his constant clubbing and bickcring
with Mayor Hylan for the last year, still
Is sufficiently in the good graces OF the
Mayor to make a running mate for him
for Comptroller again. There are va
rio,is reports as to how the hatchet came
to be buried as between Mr.. Craig and
the Mayor, but the formal meeting Of
Tammany Hall had nothing to give
out on that subject. The conimonest
explanation among politicians, however,
Is that the Meyer comm ittee has not
been able to learn nearly as much as 1t
had hoped from the Department of
Finance, which is said to have been
gratifying to Tammany Hall
Though Henry Smith. Deputy Comp
trolier. has been mentioned frequently
in the last several days as a strong
Board OF Aldermen, the opinion last
night was that. in event the Hylan-
Craig ticket is named the Presidency
Of the Board OF Aldermen might
go TO the Bronx. In that event Robert
L. Moran. Clerk of Bronx County and
formerly head of the Aldermen. is re-
garded as the probable designee.
For President OF the Borough OF
Manhattan there are several mentioned,
with Edward F. Boyle, chairman of the
Tammany Executive Committee. former
" head of the workmens Compensation
Bureau. in the best position. Alderman
William; It. Collins. Tammany leader OF
the Board OF Aldermen. and John r.
Leo. Commissioner OF Street Cleaning,
also are mentioned for the place.
Tammany Is particularly anxious to
have a Bronx man for the third place
on the ticket. II the remainder of the
ticket stacks up as at present indi-
Gated. since. In event of complete vic
tory. that would give the three big
boroughs control of the Board or Esti-
mate. Hylan representing Brooklyn and
Craig representing Manhattan.

REGULAR FREE-FOR-ALL
SEEN IN NOMINATIONS
RiUais to HaDe Hot Time in
Board of Estimate.

The prospective nominations OF the
Republican-Coalition contingent and
Tammany Hall for the city tickets this
fall bid fair TO create situation in the
Board OF Estimate which will make
the past performances Of that turbu-
lent body fade TO the proportions OF a
Sunday school ice cream party. Verbal
battles. which already have extended
to the point of shedding OF coats, and
furnished merriment and varying
shades OF other emotions, have so far
been inspired largely by personal
animosities or by political antagonisms
tereft of anything at stake. with the
prospect OF four of the candidates for
the city's biggest offices being chosen
from tho membership OF the Board of
Estimate. however. the combat is ex-
pected to take on the energy and
prowess OF tho business of hanging
scalps 20 belt.
IL the board meetings run true to
form, Henry II. Curran. President Of
the Borough OF Manhattan. coalition
selection for Mayor. will bear the brunt
Of the combined onslaughts Of Mayor
Hyian and Comptroller Craig. who viii
be the Tammany candidates 10 succeed
themselves. Mr.. Curran. however, has
proven himself quite able 20 take care
OF himself heretofore. and probably
will not be appalled, at the prospect that
confronts him now.
More amusing will be tho spectacle OF
Mayor iyian and Comptroller Craig
who heretofore have quarrelled 10 the
extent that Mr.. Craig has accused the
zF nta linz Caf ~an f.r,s
him and has refused to attend meetings
because Of the Mayors presence and ac-
tivitics--more amusing will be the spec
tacle OF Mayor Hylan and Mr.. Craig
heaping praise upon each others heads
and travelling IN sweet harmony and
brotherly love under tho banner OF Tam
many and four years moro OF Office.
But the man who is really going 70
