LLOYD GEORGE MAY
Be AT ONFERENCE
Unlikely to Attend Opening,
But Will Come if Irish
Situation Permits.
{By Cable to The Star and New York World.
Copyright. 1921.)

LONDON. September 10.-Despite
reports to the contrary, Premier LIoy /
George has no. yet abandoned his
! idea of attending the Washington
conference. If developments in the
Iiish situation within the next few
weeks warrant it, it is certain the
British ,premier will cross the At
lantic. If only for the final weeks of
the conference.
AS is well known. he is very anxious
tc head the British delegation. but.
it was pointed out today, it would
be impossible for him to leave here
should there be turn for the worse
in the Irish negotiations. or should
any serious obstacles arise. if and
when parliament has to consider the
terms agreed upon by the crown
government and the Sim F'ein.
Others Likely to Come.
At present it looks as if the Brit
ish delegation would go to Washing
ton without the premier. at least for
the earliest stages Of the delibera-
tipns, and no name is mentioned more
prominently as temporary head of the
British delegation than that of AR.
thur ]. Balfour, who has the record
Of a successful wartime visit to
America to his credit. as well as a
long tenure of office as first lord of
the admiralty during the crucial Pc
riod of the war.
Lord Lee, the present first lord OF
the admiralty. is believed certain to
be one of Great Britain's spokesmen
at the conference. AS both Lord Haig
and Lord Beatty will be in America
at that time, it is certain that they
also will form part of the British
advisory board. o.
Party of 60 Expected.
Including the secretariat, it is
understood that the British repre-
sentatives will probably number no
fewer than sixty. But while the COM
position Of the main delegation
awaits developments in the Irish sit
uation, it is Washington's tardiness
in outlining the full scope of the con-
ference which has retarded the for
nation of the general body of the
delegation.
The visit of Senator Knox at this
juncture is invested with more than
ordinary Importance, because of sug-
gestions that he is to confer with
Ambassador Harvey on the Washing
ton conference. 1t is even limited that
Senator Knox may try to see Lloyd
George.
