ENGLAND TO
HAVE ONE VOTE

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Ths British
Empire officially will have only one voice
in the Washington disarmament con-
ference, it was learned here today.
Representatives Of Britain-s self gov
erning dominions viii be included in the
delegation, but Secretary Hughes. it is
understood. Will inform Britain It is the
attitude Of this Government that the
empire will have only one vote.
The personnel OF the British delega-
tfon and the dominion representation is
srousing speculation. 1t is expected all
Of the Pacific dominiOns- Canada, Aus
tralia and New Zealand-will want to be
represented, and il is thought at least
two Of the British delegates will be
chosen from among Premier Mcigben Of
Canada. Premier Hughes OF Australia
and Premier Massey of New Zealand. It
also is believed likely that Jan e. SHUTS
premier OF South Africt. will be a dele
gate, but whether he will come as a
strictly British delegate or as u represen-
tative Of South Africa is uncertain. OIL
cials here now think it a certainty that
Secretary OF State Hughes viii head the
American delegation.
Former Secretary Of State Elihu Root
also is regarded as almost a certainty.
Some observers here think President
Harding viii appoint a public man iden-
titled with the Democratic party as
delegate in order to make the American
delegation nOnparJisan. In this con
nectiOn they pick John ". Davis, Ameri-
can ambassador TO Great britain in the
Wilson administration.
