terday DELAYED Conference
With Managers

Henry H. Curran, Republican-coali-
tion nominee for Mayor, yesterday re-
turned to his duties at campaign
headquarters at the Hotel Hermitage.
Mr.. Curran, however, was delayed at

moved to the Murray Hill Hotel, Forty

dent of the BOARD of Aldermen, as well
as for Mr.. Curran.

Hirshfield Makes Reply
To City Debt Charges
Commissioner Says Senator
Browns Figures Have Been
Falsified to Iniure Mavor

Ex-senator Elon R. Brown. of Water
town, in statement Sunday relating
to city finances and extravagances of
the Hylan administration, charged that
New York City's constitutional debt
limit had been exceeded last year by
$120,000,000 and that the city's bor-
rowing margin next year will be only
Sl7000,000.
Commissioner of Accounts David
Hirshfield, in statement issued yester-
day, charged that Senator Browns fig
ures were false, and had been falsified
because of a determined effort to get
Hylan," although nothing detrimental
to the Mayors administration had been
found in the course of the inquiry. Mr..
Hirshfie,d added
According to the traction and other
public service controlled press, the main
issue the so~called coalition candidate
the Hylan administration is that suf-
hcient schools have not been built in
the last three and half years. We are
told that Mr.. Curran will promise to
erect enough schools to do away with
part time and give every child a seat.
retrospective of the fact that no
schoolhouse could be erected during the
war period and because the pay-as-you-
30 law passed Cor the City of New York
by Senator Brown when Republican
party leader in the State Senate, this
administration has thirtynine new pub
lie schools either open or under contract
This is larger number than had been
constructed under the combined periods

Senator Borah attacked the German
treaty in detail.
Declaring this treaty would block
disarmament, he proceeded:
81 am anxious to know how we
can arrive at method to conclude
peace with Germany and to have peace;
but l am not willing to purchase peace
with Germany with surrender Of
those things, which, in my Judgment.
will not give the people of the United
States peace at all as practical prop
osition.. Because if we ratify and go
into all these concerns of Europe, you
had just as we'll not call the conference
at Washington for disarmament. In
stead of disarming we will be arming
for the next fifty years.

Objectionable and ! have always felt
also that the Versailles Treaty without
the league was intolerable. The league
was at least built upon a hope. an in
spiration that it would effectuate
something for the reconciliation and
peace of the world. The Versailles
Treaty is built upon the opposite prin-
ciple; stripped of the league it is built
on force.

Unter1nyer Advises
Against Hearings
At Present Time
Incomplete Evidence and
Desire to Avoid Charges
of Political Influence Nav
Retard Lockwood Inquiry

State Senator Charles C. Lockwood
and other members of his Legislative
Investigating committee met with
mittee, yesterday in his Office. 12O
Broadway, to discuss the prospect of
a resumption of hearings and other
matters.
Several members expressed the opn-
ion that hearings should be resumed
at the earliest possible moment in
order to have the facts in hand for
presenting remedial legislation at the
next session Of the Legislature. Sena-
tor Lockwood, who is coalition candi-
date for Comptroller. announced that
if meetings were resumed prior to
election he would absent himself in
order to prevent the slightest sus-
picion that the resumption was for the
purpose of political effect
Mr.. Untermyer was unequivocally
against having any more hearings at
state Of the evidence and his fear that
the charge would be made that pc
litical influences were swaying the
committee in its action.
The inquiry into stock transactions
of the insurance companies under in
vestigations was proving to be a
tedious process, Mr.. Untermyer said.
He estimated that it would require
four weeks to present the additional
evidence he hoped to obtain. and that
another two months would be utilized
in digesting the evidence. preparing
report and formulating q legislative
program.
The question was lett with Mr..
Untermyer for decision after consider
able discussion, with the understanding e
that the hearings would be resumed
soon if it was found TO be possible.
The decision of the Appellate Term
of the Supreme Court in Brooklyn that
10 per cent on assessed valuation con-
stituted fair return for landlords,
came in for lengthy discussion, and
Mr.. Untermyer was asked to decide
upon a plan of action for the commit
tee, which would include an appeal in
this case and protection of tenants
against unjust rent increases, based
upon misconception of the scope of
the Brooklyn decision. Pending the
issuance of Mr.. Untermyer's advice in
the matter tenants were advised to re-
sist rent increases.

which insists upon strict application Of

put favors slow and sure policy on
disarmament.
1t was generally remarked after to-
days debate that b tks Assembly
can abrogatc the rule ring unanim-
ity on questions c,.., ing matters
other than procedure election it
VIII be impossible to nj .auch pror-
ress on either disarmament or blockade
at this session. Lord Herbert Cecil
moved to suspend the rule requiring
unanimity, but the subject was referred
to committee.
Methods of applying the economic
weapon of the League Of Nations
against country which violates the
provisions of the covenant came before
the Assembly when the blockade com
mittee submitted its report
Advance Plan Imprncticable
The committee found it was impos-
sible for the league to decide before
hand and in detail the various steps of
an economic, commercial and financial
nature that should be taken in each
case. 1t proposed that the Council of
the league make recommendations to
the members as to plan for Joint ac-
tion when necessity should arise.
Interruption of diplomatic relations
would first be limited to the with
drawal of the heads of diplomatic mis-
sions. The committee held, however,
that, while consular relations might be
maintained, if prolonged application OF
economic pressure was necessary ii
should progressively be made mora
stringent.
In the resolutions that, were pro-
tr,o 1 L.
states might for a certain period be
released from the obligation of block
aiding another country if the conditions
were such rs would involve especial
danger to those states.
In addition to resolutions interpret
ing the covenant of the league, the
committee proposed an amendment to
Article XVI of the covenant, which
provides for united action against Il
state violating that agreement. The
amendment follows:
"The Council of the league will give
an opinion whether breach of the
covenant has taken place. When the
Council gives such opinion the votes
of states charged with having COM
nitted Il breach of the covenant and
OF states bringing the charge, whether
tEey are members of the Council un-
der Article " or have been specially
summoned, shall not be reckoned in
determining whether or not there has
been unanimous decision"
Enforcement May Be Delayed
Another proposed amendment reads:
"The Council may in the case of a
particular member postpone the COM
ing into force of any of these meas
ures for a specified period where it is
satisfied such postponement will facili-
tate the attainment of the object of
the measures to be applied, or that it
IS necessary in order to minimize the
loss and inconvenience which will be
caused such mem bers"
This amendment is proposed to
satisfy the Scandinavian members, who
demanded exemption from the obliga-
ticn 10 blockade when the measure was
applied to neighboring states.

America to Advise
Portugal Be Given
Arms Farley Seat
Interests in Far East Are
Held to Give Republic d
Standing Similar to That
of Belgium and Holland

From The Tribune's European Bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept 26.--The Amer
lean government will suggest to the
powers invited to participate in the
Conference on the Limitation of Arma-
ment and Far Eastern questions that
Portugal be admitted to the conference
when the problems of the Far East and
the Pacific are under consideration, it
became known to-day.
Viscount D'Alte, the Portuguese Min
ister, conferred with Secretary Hughes
to-day over the question of admitting
Portugal, and il is believed that no OBJ
lection will be encountered to according
that nation the same privileges that
have been extended to Belgium and
Holland. Portugal has real and actual
interests in the Far East, controlling
the Island of Macao, and may be ex-
pected to be treated like the Neither
cific, and Belgium, which has large in
vestments in the Far East.
The inquiry sent to the powers by
the State Department short time ago
to ascertain if it would be agreeable
to have Holland and Belgium repre-
sented has not been formally answered
Iy all countries. Japan. France and
Britain, however, are understood TO be
agreed upon it's wisdom, and it is be-
lieved that the same course will be fol-
lowed with respect to Portugal.
The widespread interest in the arma-
lnent conference is indicated by the
hundreds of letters received at the
State Department from individuals and
organizations offering to assist. Some
offer their services as clerks, ,transla y
tors and in other capacities. The dis
position to be made of these, if any, is
expected to come up at meeting Of
the American commissioners, which
will be held soon.
The possibility that the British may
bring delegation of six has revived
consideration of the size of the Ameri-
can commission, and President Harding
will have to determine whether the
United States wants to increase the
number of delegates or whether the
four already selected shall be intrusted
with this country's case.
1t is recognized, however, that there
are obvious advantages in having the
personnel of the several commi SIS ions
about evenly balanced, If that is not
the case, a large delegation could
easily take so much time during the
discussions that the business of the
conference might be hindered. 1t also
is conceivable that a small delegation
may find it more difficult to compete
with a larger one. for the reason that
il would permit a greater number of
persons to become expert on the vari
GUS subjects.

Special Cable to The Tribune

Copyright. 1921. New York Tribune Inc.
PARIS, Sept. 26.-The French gov
ernment is preparing to make strong
representations to Washington to leave
a. least a few American troops in the
Rhlneland, even if they are only enough
to keep the American flag there, it was
lntimated to-day in government circles.
The statement of Senator Lodge in the
Senate that the troops would be taken
home has stirred officialdom in Paris
to realization that American with
drawal is imminent, even though the
government has not yet been officially
notified from Washington.
The official view here is that the
complete evacuation of Europe by
American troops must be greatly de-
plored, because, while the number of
American etfectives on the Rhine in
the last two years has been campara
lively insignificant. the American flag
and American interest have been there.
Their withdrawal now. it is believed
here, will surely be looked upon in
Germany as sign of even less solidar-
ity among the Allies and the more
complete isolation of France in Euro
pean affairs than ever before. 1t would
also seem to France as an indication
that the United States is losing in
terest in Frances troublesome prob
lem of enforcing the payments due her
as the result of the Allied victory.
Pershing in Coblenz
General sPershing arrived in Coblenz
tonight from Chaumont, the old A. E. f.
headquarters. Beginning tomorrow
the General will review the American
forces at the bridgehead in somewh t
the same fashion he inspected five d-
visions homeward bound in 1919. 1t
is not expected, however, that he will
make any announcement either to Gen
eral Allen or the troops regarding
evacuation. General Pershing an
nounced in Paris that he was not car
rying messages, but simply was going
to Germany to make an inspection.
Advices TO The Tribune from CO.
blenz are that the troops are not taking
kindly to the report from Washington
A considerable number of the men have
married and settled down under con-
ditions Impossible at any other army
post in the world The humbles st

Work is easy and, as army slang ex-
presses it, everything is "jake.'

not pleasant prospect to contemplate
The Germans, too are agitated for fear
they will lose the freely spent marks
of the American troops, who also are
more amenable than the French troops
now stationed in the neighbor;ng May

Delegates Near a Deadlock
on Questions of Block
AIDES and Disarmament

GENEVA, Sept. 26 (By The Associated
Press) s).-Another application of moral
suasion will be proposed to the Assem-
bly, of the League of Nations in the
frontier disputes between Albania and
Jugo-Slavia on the one hand and be-
tween Albania and Greece on the other.
The political committee of the AS
sembly so decided this evening, after
debating the conflict all afternoon.
Bishop Fan S. Noli, the Albanian
delegate, spoke for Albania, NJ. Fraagu-
hitch for Greece and M, Spalaikovitch
for Jugo- -Slavia. Lord Robert Cecil.
in summing up the debate, said the
Assembly could 60 no further than to
pass resolution setting forth its
sentiment because the Allied and AS
sociated powers have the matter in
hand. He moved, and the committee
adopted a resolution expressing the
hope of the Assembly that Albania,
Greece and Jugo-Slavia would accept
the decision of the Council of AM
bassadors as to the Albanian frontiers.
and another resolution calling upon the
Council of the league to appoint a
committee of three impartial persons
to go to Albania to investigate the
situation.
Assembly Nears Deadlock
This mornings debate appeared to
confirm the belief of many of the dele
gates, expressed in the last few days,
that the Assembly is approaching a
deadlock on two of it's most important
problems - those Of disarmament and
blockade. The reports on both these
questions were prepared with great
difficulty. The debate showed q line
was drawn sharply between two dis
tinct groups, one headed by Lord
Robert Cecil, DR.. Fridtjof Nansen and
Signor Schanzer, of Italy, which is
radical on disarmament but conserva-
tive on blockade, and another led by
H. A. L, Fisher, of England, and NJ.

Japanese Experts Suggest
Disarmament Program,

TOXIC, Sept. 26 (By The Associated
Press) 1.-THE "Asahi" says Japan is in
a position to propose the abolition of
fortihcations in the Pacific, but that
the United States probably would not
agree to this. I Japan insisted. the
newspaper asserts, the United States
would on her part insist on great
reduction in the Japanese naval
strength and this would be liable to
make general agreement on limita
tion of armaments impossible.
A meeting of army, navy and foreign
Office officials submitted to the Cabinet
the following sugge stions: Prohibi-
tion of the erection of new defensive
works in the Pacific or extension of
the old defenses; reduction of naval
strength proportionately based on the
strength of the weakest power, and re-
strictions on poison gas, explosives,
airplanes and submarines.
