Experts Fail to Find Wrong
Calculations in Figures
Prepared By Hughes
for Arms Proposal.
CONFERENCE WILL
BE GREAT SUCCESS
Denial Is Made That Harsh
Words Used Against Head
Of Italian Delegation.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2S.--American
programs presented to the Japanese
and British delegations detailed ans
wers to questions presented last week
as 10 the American naval reduction
program. The full membership Of the
technical commission Of the arms
conference was not in session.
The extensive examination of figures
Of all three powers as to the existing
naval strength Of each country has not
resulted in any change Of the original
figures in Secretary Hughes proposal.
II was said authoritatively today
that no mistakes in calculation had
been revealed during the discussion
by the experts.
The data submitted today by the
American group had TO do, it was
understood with questions asked by
the Japanese as TO the exact mean
ing of certain paragraphs Of the Amer
lean reduction plan. The specific ma
ture of the points involved was not
revealed. 1t is not, however, that the

no reason TO change any of the ten.
mage estimates for the three powers
upon which the American plan was
based and it is assumed that during
the week, possibly in a matter Of
hours, the naval reduction problem
will be formally returned to the con
ference for action.
Assurances that the American cal
culation as to existing japanese naval
strength mas been found 10 be accur.
ate in the American view, lends ad-
dit'onal weight to the repeated decls-
ration that the American delegates
will stand firmly for the 500 ratio
proposed by the limitation OF naval
construction at the end q the ten
year holiday period. II would also
indicate the jmprobabihty that the
kmerlcan delegates agreed 10 retention
by Japan OF the battleshiD Mutsu, al
though no definite statement IN this
regard has been made by any mem
her Of the delegation.
Conference Seems Success
The British armament conference
delegation, through an authorized
spokesman. took occasion again today
