PROSPECT OF IRISH
CONFERENCE FADES.
British Cabinet Members at
Consultation Show More
Rigid Attitude
LLOYD GEORGE UNBENDING
BY the Associated Press

london, Sept. 22.-Prospects of q
conference between Sim Fein repre-
sentatives and members Of the British
Cabinet at an early date were declared
today to be less hopeful as q result Of
Yesterdays consultation between Prime
Minister Lloyd George and several of
his ministers at Gairloch. Several Of
this mornings newspapers reflected this
view. and reports from political CORE
spOndentS at GairlOch generally agreed
that the Minister'S showed n more rigid
attitude toward Southern Ireland.
II is declared there is a tendency on
the part of the Cabinet members who
talked with the Prime Minister TO in
sist that Eamon de Valera formally
withdraw his claim that Sim Fen
delegates would enter the conference
as representatives of a sovereign state.
They are said 10 urge that such with
drawal be made before the Government
agrees to meet the Irish delegates. while
some are declared to have urged that
assurances be given by the Sim Fein
that il the conference meets. the sep
aration issue shall not be raised.
Lloyd George. according TO the Daily
Mail. is taking an unbending attitude
in the face Of the latest Irish communi
cation and is supported by his col
leagues. The London Times. however.
remarks that yesterdays meeting
scarcely represented all shades of opin-
ion in the Government and it expresses
the opinion that for this reason, Lloyd
George desires TO consult all the mem
bers Of his Cabinet before replying TO
De Valera

Jr., in his keynote speech as tempo
rary chairman Of the New York Re-
publican State convention today, said

adorns the annals Of our State Depart
ment" than the new treaty with Ger
many.
Had the Harding Administration,
done nothing else, he added, ''its
achievement in thus untangling and set
ting Alright our foreign relations would
justly entitle it 10 fame"
And when one realizes how promptly
and simply it was done,' he continued,
''onc cannot help smiling at the dis
NAL prophecies Of those who believed
or pretended to believe that the only
way was the League Of Nations way"
The Senator said oil honor was due
President Harding for conceiving the
great and benefcent step" Of the com
Eastern questions.
Concerning the record Of the Re-
publican Party in Congress, he said
The impartial observer Is impelled
to the belief that the party, since it
was restored to power n few months
ago. has lived up to its high traditions
of devoted service; that it has travelled
far along the road marked out for 1t 4;
that its program for the immediate
future is intelligent. constructive and
American; that it is indeed a party
fit to govern
He culogized the President. saying,
'"rhe country knows, the civilized
world knows, that a great figure has
appeared among men--Warren G.
Harding"
The convention was called to make
nominations for the judiciary and adopt
q State platform.

day gave his version of the "revolt'
among members of the Legion party who
recently toured France and Belgium.
According to certain members OF the
party, Commander Emery was de
posed" as leader Of the delegation.
Commander Emery, when asked why
he was deposed ms leader, said:
There was no open break or even
an intimation Of a break until we
boarded the liner Leopoldina on our re-
turn trip. Then some of the members
of the party objected to sleeping below
decks, so an indignation meeting was
held and seventy eight members Of the
party attended. After much discus
sion Legionaire Hanley, Of North Da-
kota, was elected leader Of the delega-
ton, but that didn't depose me just
because seventy eight members were
not satisfied"
