The Republican state convention to
be held in Maine in 1922 will contain
the largest number of delegates to

of the convention will be decided at

committee which will be held at 4
o'clock next Thursday afternoon at
the Augusta House in this city.

Congressman Ira G. Hersey Of the

Carroll L. Beedy of Portland. member
of Congress fran the First District,
will be invited to act as temporary

1t seems to be the impression that
Portland will be selected by the Re-

for holding the state convention the

in April. The last Republican state

1910 when United States Senator

today, each nation reasserting posi-
tons taken in the four recent notes

The Chinese delegates made clear"
that in entering into this informal

Hold George at Home

London, Dec. 2-BX A. P)-Prime
Minister Lloyd George was again in
touch with the Sim Fein representa-
ton late today but on what phase of
the situation it did not appear. The
member of the delegation who saw
the premier was Michael Collins, who
at 5 o'clock had an interview with Mr..
Lloyd George and Sir Robert Horne,
Chancellor of the exchequer.
1t is understood Mr.. Lloyd George
is planning to make the trip to Wash
ington in the belief that the appar-
ent impa sse in the Irish negotiations
Is one which time may help to solve.
An eventriality which might con-
ceivably offer greater obstacles to the
premier's early Journey to America, is
the necessity for France and Great
Britain to formulate a clearer and
more united policy regarding Germa n
repara tons, which are understood to
have reflected an acute stage in
France and to be fraught with many
difficulties for Premier BRAND. =
What transpires when the French
premier reports to the Chamber of
Deputies is considered more likely to
determine Mr.. Lloyd Georges chances
of adhering to his sailing plans than
the prospects of some new and decis-
i've turn in Irish affairs.

Congress to Get

on Ship Subsidy

Washington, Dec. - President
Harding will sent a special message
to Congress early in January recon-

it was learned today.
The message will contain definite
recommendations and will take up
the whole subject Of the American
Merchant Marine and methods of in
creasng it's utility and assuring its
permanence. Studies are now in
progress for its preparation.
Chairman Lasker of the Shipping
Board and other officials directly
concerned with the marine situation
have given their assistance in for
mulating the details of subsidy pro-
posals. The amount of money neces-
sary, it was said, has not yet been
determined. One of the obstacles
toward preferential treatment of
American(vessels by the government
lies in a series of treaties negotiated
with other maritime nations forbid
ding such action and although the
merchant marine act Of 1919 contain
ed mandatory instructions that all
such treaties be abroeated. President
Harding is expected to inform Con-
gress that it is impossible to enforce
that provision Of the law. AS an al
tentative to this it is expected that
the subsidy policy will be advanced
