MARION. Ohio, January 1s-As the
oest-mind conferences wear them
selves away and the time draws near
Tor the departure of the President
elect to the southland it has become a
matter of comment that two rather
distinguished American minds have
not thus far appeared on the Marion
horizon. They are minds that at one
!ime and another have dwelt not low
insly but long upon the league Of ma
tlons and the treaty of Versailles. In
Iact. II a search were made of the
senate records, 1t probably would be
ascertained that those two minds have
oeen about the most active in that au-
gust body ever since the European
pact came into the field of senatorial
observation. The moment President
Wilson set foot on French soil as head
OF the American mission those two
minds became irreconcilable, and
through storm and stress they have
remained irreconcflable unto the end.
Senator Harding himself is not an
irreconcilable and his mind does not
go along with statesmen of that ilk.
Conferences Prove Amiable.
But it would appear as events have
shaped themselves here in Marion
that Mr.. Harding has hesitated to
draw Senator William E. Borah of
Idaho and Senator Hiram Johnson of
California into the picture of party
accord and harmony painted during
the last six weeks. Without Senators

0'CALLAGHAN MUST

Counsel for Donal O'Callaghan. lord
mayor of Cork. who arrived in this
country recently without a passport,
was directed today by Secretary Will

1t was understood. however. that IN
directing the prompt surrender of the
lord mayor Secretary Wilson was In
fuenced by conference yesterday
with Acting Secretary Davis Of the
State Department, whose order OF de-
portation Of O'Callaghan has been ig-
nored by the Labor Department. This
meeting Of President Wilson's cabinet,
but it was reiterated that the Presi-
dent had reaff1rmed his decision not to
interfere in the controversy between
the two departments.
Officials of both departments said
the immediate surrender of OCalla-
CHAN to the immi grafton inspector in
Norfolk would compose the differences
which have developed over the meth
Cd of exclusion of O'Callaghan. State
Department officials declared, how
ever, that as a result Of this contro-
versy it was expected that a full un-
derstanding would be reached in fu-
ture as to the authority of the State
Department in immigration cases.
