Obregon Replies to u. S.
Note on Recognition
Begins Exchange of Views With
Washington TO Clarity In
ternatiOnal Situation

MEXICO CITY, June (By The AS
sociated Press) THE American State
Department is now in possession of the
first of possible series of communica-
tions from President Obregon reply ing
to the memorandum handed the Pres
ident ten days ago by George r. Sum
merlin, American Charge d'Atfaires,
relative to recognition of the Mexican
government. according to information
obtained here to-day.
President Obregon's communication
which is understood to have been trans
mitted by Mr.. Summerlin last Friday,
is not definite answer to the Amer
lean mem morandum, in that it neither
rejects nor accepts the idea Of written
assurances for the protection of Amer
lean property and lives in Mexico.
1t was said that the communication
probably might be regarded as a fur
ther Exchange of impressions on in
ternatonal matters" which was the
way President Obregon described his
recent conference with Mr.. Summerlin.
Whether this exchange OF impressions
will continue is believed to be con-
tingent upon the attitude taken by the
American State Department.

Neighbors who stopped to chat with
Mr. Inman as he worked in his garden
and to express surprise and pleasure
at his recovery from his recent illness
were told that his sore throat was en-
tiaely gone.
Two months ago, about the time that
Mr. lnman usually is engaged III plant
ing his garden, he began to fail rapid,
ly and for no apparent reason. Ply
sscians were unable to explain his de-
bility until the patient recalled an
accident which had befallen him when

From The Tri6ume's Washinoton Bureau

From The Tridune's Washin oton Bureau
WASHINGTON, June 6.-Albert D,
Lasker, of Chicago, has accepted the
position of chairman of the Shipping
Board Information to this effect was
contained in kilograms arriving from
Chicago to-day. Mr.. Lasker is on his
way to Washington and is due to ar
rive here tomorrow morning.
1t has been known for some time
that Mr.. Lasker was under considera-
tion for the place, and when it became
known Walter C. Teagle, president Of
the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey, would not accept the chairman
ship the selection of Mr.. Lasker was
looked on as probable.
Friends of Mr.. Lasker said tonight
they were advised that he had accepted
the position and would be here Tues
day Their version of the matter is
that when the subject was first
broached to him by the President, Mr..
Lasker said, in effect, he knew nothing
about shipping and that Teagle was
the man for the job. The President
had had Teagle in mind before, and
on Lasker's advice he made him the
tender. Mr.. Teagle's company would
not release him, and because of this
and for reasons Of health he declined.
After that the President again offered
the place to Lasker and he has &C
cepted.
Mr.. Lasker is president and owner
of the Lord & Thomas Advertising
Agency, Of Chicago, is interested in
many large business concerns, is
wealthy and in the recent campaign
took an active part in matters of ad-
vertising and publicity. He was close
ly associated with National Chairman
viii H. Hays in the management of
the campaign, and came into close
contact with President Harding. He is
a close friend of Senator Medill Nc
Cormick
Mr.. Lasker is a member Of the
American Jewish Committee, is keen
and alert business man end organizer
and his friends believe will come as
near as any one can come to giving
the United States merchant marine
under conditions of great difficulty.
While he does not pretend to know
anything of shipping he understands
business organization and dealing with
men. He is expected to introduce bet
ter business methods into the ship
ping organization and in the matter of
selling the government ships 70 do all
that can be done in getting money out
of them.

House Plan to
Disarrn Leaves
Call to Harding g
Resolution Concurring in
His Declared Aim for Com
ference Reported as Sub
stitute for Borah Proposal
Gives Executive FreeHand
Minority Effort to Request
Him to Summon Meeting
of ALI Powers Defeated

WASHINGTON, June 6.-By vote
Of fourteen to one, with two Demo-
Gratis voting present, the House For
eign Affairs Committee reported to-day
a joint resolution which would give
President Harding the master hand in
calling an international conference on
disarmament
Rejecting the same resolution it ap-
proved year ago, the committee "con-
Cured in the declared purpose" of the
President to call such conference and
sent its new measure to the House as
virtual suggestion to conferees on
the naval appropriation bill that it be
accepted as substitute for the Borah
amendment authorizing and requesting
the President to call naval disarma-
ment conference of Great Britain,
Japan and the United States.
1t had been expected that the bill
would go to conference to-day, but the
motion, which will have the right of
way by special rule, was held Up until
tomorrow.
Republican committeeman with only
one absentee stood solidly on the reso-
luton prepared by Chairman Porter.
The whole question of disarmament,
both naval and military, had been
placed before the committee for it's
consideration.
Taking up the Brooks resolution
from the last Congress, reported, but
never acted on by the House, Repre-
sentative Flood, Virginia, the ranking
Democrat, fought to have it adopted
again, but found no Republican sup
port. 1t would authorize and request
the President to ask all the powers to
send delegates to a disarmament con-
vention. Chairman Porter, in opposing
it. explained that the purpose was to
get away from any suggestion of di-
rection by Congress and leave the
President free to pursue such course
as he deemed best, in view Of the an
nounced intention in his inaugural ad-
dress that he was ready TO cooperate
with other nations for disarmament.
The House conferee5 will be Chair
man Kelley, of the subcommittee on
appropriations, in charge of the naval
bill; Representatives French, of Idaho,
and Wood, of Indiana, Republicans,
and ByTnes, of South Carolina. and
Oliver, of Alabama, Democrats. Lead
ers said the conferees probably would
report the Porter resolution as an
amendment to the Borah amendm ent,
or as an out and out substitute.
The attitude of House Democrats
toward the Porter peace resolution for
ending the state OF war was discussed
at two hour conference late to-day,
but no action was taken. Representa-
tive Crisp, of Georgia, who presided,
said nc attempt had been made to bind
members and all would be free to vote
On the measure a. they saw fit. 1t is
understood, however. that most Demo
etats will vote against the resolution
when it is called up Thursday.

Thompson Is
Beaten I'm Court
Poll i'm Chicago
Mayor Suffers First Politi-
cal Reverse at Hands of
Coalition of Republican
and Democratic Forces
Some Lose by 100000
Bar Association and Civic
Bodies Fought Attempt
to Take Politics to Bench

CHICAGO, June Civilian Hale
Thompson suffered his first reverse at
the polls since his election as Mayor
in 1915, when a coalition judicial
ticket swept Chicago to-day, carrying
every Thompson candidate to defeat by
unofficial pluralities ranging from co.
900 to 100000.
In the most hotly contested judiciary
election in the city's history, balloting
was marked by the killing of coali
tion watcher at the polls by police
man, several small riots and many
charges of fraud. According to the
police, the slain man had used pro-
family in the presence of women voters
and it was declared that, he was shot
when he resisted arrest.
Opposed by Bar Association
The Thompson candidates, all Re-
publicans, were opposed by the Bar
Association and other civic bodies and
resulted in the selection of the coali-
tion ticket made up Of both Democrats
and Republicans
A proposition for the issue Of So
100000 bonds for building a new iail
was decisively beaten. Another pro
posal that free text books be supplied
in the public schools apparently car
rled by very small majority.
More than SO per cent of the 900 900
voters registered went to the polls. 1t
was the first judiciary election at
which women have voted and the thou
sands who cast their ballot were de-
clared to have had decisive effect on
the result.
Machine Plan Assailed
Since his elec-io six years ago Mayor
Thompson has attracted nationwide at
tention. Following his refusal officially
to invite Marshal Joffre, of France. to
Chicago at the time of his visit to the
United States, he has been almost con-
stantly IN the public eye. At one time.
in 1917, he made spectacular trim to
the Pacific Coast, being hailed by his
followers as a Presidential candidate.
he was formerly Republican National
Committeeman.
AT the last Republican National Con-
ventlon. he supported Hiram johnson
and left the hall with his followers
before the nomination of President
Harding.
In the present campaign he was ac
cused of trying to build up political
machine extending even to the Circuit
and Superior courts.
