New York state has abandoned the
primary system for nomination Of
state officers and has gone back to the
old convention system. Practical ap-
plication of the change is to be made
at a state convention to be held in
Syracuse September %. for the nomi-
nation of an associate Judge OF the
court Of appeals and the adoption OF
a platform. the first convention since
1912.
The call for the convention has
been issued by the state committee.
which will set up all tha machinery
of the old-time conventions The TWO
honors as permanent and temporary
chairmen. Senator Wadsworth prob
ably to fill the latter place and Sena-
tor Calder the first named.
All the old republican wheel horses:
county leaders and the centurions OF
the old feudalistic system Of republi-
can politics in New York state are
expected to be on hand and to tighten
up their organizations again along
the lines which obtained prior to 1912,
since which time the primary system
has obtained in the Empire state.
VIII Sound Keynote.
The convention, it is expected. will
be made the occasion for sounding
the first republican keynote since the
declarations Of 1920. and to that ex-
tent this state gathering will take
on an aspect of national importance:
The presence Of the two senators and
of many<,representa in Congress.
as Well as a sprinkling of federal
officeholders among the delegates
will facilitate the handling OF ma
tional affairs.
DELEGATES to the convention will be
selected at primaries to be held Sep
tember 13, and the upstate districts
will outnumber New York city by
sos to s01. The total number of dele
gates in the convention will be 1.1ss.
This return Of the commonwealth
Of New York to oldtiIne political
methods will be watched with a great
deal of interest by politicians
throughout the country. Several
states are now considering the return
to the convention system, while there
is q determined movement on foot
by the advocates Of the primaries to
fight the change. and to. in fact, ex-
pand the primary plan still further
wherever possible.
Would Extend System.
One element among the supporters
of the primary system is intent upon
of candidates for the presidential
nominati ton. and echoes of that contest
are expected to resound in Congress
at the next regular session. when the
greater and exigent questions of
pressing public interest have been
passed upon.
The opponents Of the primary plan
will watch New York's rejection Of it
and return to what they deem politi-
cal "norma1cy," and will set up New
York's action as a shining example
to be followed by other states now
debating the proposition to change
nomination methods.

CHRISTIANS SON ON BOARD.
Secretary of President Anxious at
Hearing No Word of Vessel.

The Munson line steamer Callao,
which had not been heard from since

GERS John Christian, twenty -one-year-
old son of George 8. Christian, jr., Sec
retary to President Harding.
The vessel was due in New York Sun

unable to establish radio communica-

Secretary Christian talked with the
entirely without information concern
ing the steamers whereabouts They
secuted the suggestion, however, that
the Callao might have fallen into the
clutches of alleged pirate ships oper-
ating off the Atlantic coast.
They expressed the opinion that
failure to estabrfSh communication
was due to adverse\atmospheric con-

Take Trip as Cadets.
Young Christian and his chum, John
Massey, recently resigned their .po-

Shipping Board officials today were
trying to get in touch with the

tentative PEACE DRAFT
IS FOUND DEFICIENT AT
MEETING OF CABINET

A tentative draft OF a proclama-
tion of the state of peace with
Germany and Austria was taken
to the cabinet meeting today by
Attorney General Daugherty. but
it was indicated afterward that
the document might not be ready
for the Presidents signature be-
fore next week.
1t is understood that when the
subject came up in the cabinet
room the discussion revealed that
so many points of law would have
to be covered in such a proclama-
tion that more exhaustive study
would be necessary.
The Attorney General also took
to the meeting a mass of informa-
tion compiled in memorandum form
by experts Of the Department of
Justice, and 1t was understood
that the whole subject of what the
proclamation should contain was
considered in some detail. Further
memoranda, it is understood, will
be prepared for the Attorney Cen
eral as soon as possible so that
actual issuance of the proclama-
tion may mo-" t"Sesunnecessarily de-
layed.
Although most of the cabinet
meeting was Occupied with other
matters, it is understood that such
discussion as there was of the
proposed proclamation brought out
that some of the Presidents ad-
visers still consider a proclamation
unnecessary. The ,preponderance
of opinion in high administration
circles has seemed to favor issu-
ance OF the document, but it is be-
lieved that no final decision. even
on that point has been reached.

CLERK BILLS READY.
Early Reports Expected on Two
of Special Importance.

Two bills Of general advantage to
employees in the public service. and
for which the National Federation Of
Federal Employees has been working.
are to be reported soon from the
House committee on reform in the
civil service.
These measures are the Madden
bill, providing a court of appeals for
civil service employees in the event Of
dismissal, and the Lehlbach bill to re-
instate those arbitrarily retired under
the RECEIPT retirement act, where the
act provided that II they desired and
were efficient and competen. they
could continue in the service for lin
tied periods.
That early reports on both bills
will be made was Indicated at an ex-
ecutive session OF the House committee
today. Chairman Lehlbach said after
the meeting that he believed such ac-
ton will be taken. The only reason
1T was not taken today was that one
member Of the committee wished TO
get specific information from the
Post Office Department and another
member asked for time to read over
both bills.

Several months ago when officials

tuting such a movement, the young
banker, who had served himself in
that branch Of the service for two
years during the war. having been
attached to the United States steam
ship destroyer tender Bridgeport, was
quick to foresee the possibilities to
be derived from such classes, and at
once volunteered to cooperate with
the naval officers to perfect plans in
making the proposed project a re-
ality.
Oficers of the American Institute
of Banking were consulted. and they.

LONDON WATCHES DUBLIN.
Intense Interest Over Possibility of

hoped. would develop some basis for
peace negotiations which would end
the era OF bloodshed that has prevailed
IN ireiand 1or many months. Every
Dody interested in the settlement of
the irish situation was anxiously
watching for news from Dublin. hut
English political writers in this morn
inss newspapers seemed to believe

De iesar arded more with hope than with
1alth. In many quarters, indeed. the
SITUATION was viewed as giving little
occasion for optimism

oeilet mat Eamon de Valera, leader
or the Sim Fein, adhered unalterably

OF an Irish republic. and that the
brtlsh government. as well as Ulster,
took its stand upon the Irish act, re-
Gently passed by the British par!is-
ment. 1t was stated that Earl Midis.
ton, south Irish unionist leader. who
was in London to confer with Prime
Minister Lloyd George and others and
who returned to Dublin last night,
had taken with him an intimation
that any settlement must be in har-
mony with the Irish act. in accord
ance with which the Belfast parlia-
ment was created.
Whether. in the face of such an
attitude Mr.. de Valera would accent
the prime minister's invitation to
London was regarded in many quar-
ters as extremely doubtful. Where the
more hopeful view was taken, how
ever. it was believed that Mr. de
Valera might reply with a counter
proposal. This. according to infor-
nation received by the Associated
Press from Belfast. might take the
form of Mr.. de Valera insisting that
the government put its cards on the
table" before disclosing his own hand
1t was said he might maintain that.
as Mr.. Lloyd George had proposed a
conference between Ulster south Ire
land and the British government the
onus Of the situation was upon him.
Another view held in Ulster was
that the Sim Fein could not stand
the financial strain of prolonging the
conflict, and therefore was disposed
to come to terms. In such event,
however. it was contended a serious
difficulty might arise with the Cath
olic church in Ulster. which might
resist any partition that would place
the power to legiSlate upon educa-
tional subjects in the hands of the
north Irish parliament.
King George received Sir James
Craig, the Ulster premier. this morn
ing in an audience which lasted half
an hour. While nothing as obtain
able regarding the subject Of their
talk, it was assumed that the Irish
situation was discussed. Sir James
refused to make any statement after

Mexican newspaper men informally,
Wednesday night. that the Mexican
mask American oil producers" whom
he charged with "scandalous actions.
not molly against the Mexican treas
ury, but against the United States as
we'll" This statement was published
in three Mexico City newspapers yes
tion as to the meaning Of the secre-
tary's statement.
Although the wording of the decla-
ration Of Senior Gales varied in yes
terday's newspapers, each printed in
terviews attributing to the secretary
have referred to alleged attempts by
American oil companies to dodge in
come taxes by dissolving the parent
CORPORATIONS and forming numerous
subsidiaries.
Substance of Statement.
Continuing. the secretary said, ac-
cording to the version printed by Ell
UNIVERSAL:
Knowing the other systems used
by the oil companies to hide the true
status of their enterprises. the Mexi-
can government. in defense of its own
interests, has. by means of special
agents in the United States, started an
active campaign to pull the masks
from the faces Of these companies"
Secretary Gales is said to have re-
ferred to the complaints of oil com.
panies against article 27 of the Mexi-
can constitution. which natioinalizes
petroleum deposits.
What has the Mexican government
DONE" he asked. ito warrant these un-
just complaints that this article is
retroactive and conf1scatory?'
The secretary is said to have as
serted that oil pipe lines should be
made public utilities, adding when
regulating article 27 we will deal
with this subject"
Alleges "Monopolistic' Tendency.
In conclusion, the secretary mem
toned alleged "monopolistic tenden-
cies of large oil companies which have
already acquired pipe lines. roads and
terminals, causing hardships for
smaller companies"
Local representatives of oil COM
panies reiterated in statements to
newspaper men last night that 1t was
impossible for their concerns to oper-
ate except at a loss under President
Obregon's recent decree increasing
taxes on oil exported from the coun-
try. They asserted that no increase in
oil prices could be expected before six
months at least adding by that time
expectation will have ceased entirely.
