VOTES IN IRISH
 ELECTION TOBE
 COUNTED TODAY
Republican Paper Attacks Stand Taken by Collins-Re- suits Likely to Favor
 English Treaty
By Associated Press


 Dublin, June 1S.-The counting of the votes in the recent election in Dublin begins tomorrow with the possibility that the results may be announced by midnight. The Cork figures have been eagerly scanned here but have not seriously modified the expert forecasts of the final com position of the Dali Eireann.
 It Is evident that whatever depar- ture from the straight ticket occurred has been in favor of the treaty side, and the defeat of Lord Mayor OCal- laghan Is attributed to his refusal to recognize the provisional govern ment, even in relation to the expen- allure of money for building Cork.
 Already the accusation is made from the republican side that sup porters of the treaty have violated the Collins-DeValera pact and Mir. Collins, himself. Is attacked not only for his speech at Cork last We'd nesday, which is generally regarded as an utterance throwing over the panel and the coalition, but for his refusal to indorse a joint daily propa- ganda in the interest of the panel committee.
 CoIIin,s Pledged Word
 The republican Sunday newspaper, The Plain People, says:
 "Quite clearly Collins pledged word can in the future be regarded as no more trustworthy than lis republican oath"
 I The paper denounces Mir. Collins for his forecast of the character and functions of the new Dali and asserts hat the first duty of every deputy before he votes or speaks is to take the oath of allegiance to the Irish republic.
 "Mr. Collins" it adds, may, at the dictation of his British masters have agreed to abolish that oath. but thero- in he was acting ultra wires; he mas no more power to abolish the Dails oath to the republic, than he has to wipe out the Washington Congress oath of allegiance to the republic of the United States.
 This paper further contends that the new Dali cannot consider the Free State constitution; 1t declares that the republic has its own tenn porary constitution and that the Dail will consider no other newspaper. It also condemns conciliation with Ulster and answers critics of the pol icy of war who argue that burning business premises really is a godsend for inc firms concerned, because their nuBineSS IS pFdcllcaiiN dI a stand still and money compensation will save them.
 Chaos in Enemy Camps
 "These people forget that every such place creates chaos in the ! enemy's camp, owing to the long pe- riod before such business can be re- started and the fact that compensa- ton must be paid either by Belfast itself or the British government. The British-inspired idea of coneiliation r by surrender would not achieve this 5 in thousand years. Therefore, we say, go on with the burning"
 All of this is out of tune with the contemplated joint action of Collins 5 and DeValera In the coalition cabinet but this paper certainly speaks for Devalera's left wing and especially for the dissenting army section and some of the most influential repub- T lican deputies in the new Dial are known to indorso it's views. The army situation is considered critical and much importance Is attached to the volunteer convention held pri- vately at the Mansion House today and largely attended.
