No Trace of the Cornell, Which
Left Shore Thursday.
Boat Was Due to Reach Buffalo,
N. Y, Friday Morning
PLANES MAY join IN SEARCH
Might Have Blown Boilers,
One Theory Being Advanced.
Fog on Lake Erie Hinders Ef-
forts to Locate Vessel.

Cleveland. Dec. 25.-A fourth tug
was added this morning to the three
already searching Lake Erie for the
missing tug Cornell, which left here
last Thursday afternoon and was due
in Buffalo Friday morning. One tug
which covered the middle of the lake
as far as Erie Pa. yesterday re-
ported no traces of the tug or wreck
age.
Two other tugs patrolling the north
shore made similar vain search. The
tug Oregon was sent out today to
cruise the south shore as far as Fair
port and then work out into the mid
die of the lake.
Efforts are also being made to en-
list airplanes in the search.
Various theories are advanced in
the marine circles as to the probab BILE
fate of the tug. One IS that the tug
might have blown up her boilers.
Those who advance this conjecture
point out that the coast guards on
duty at Ashtabula had not seen the
Cornell pass that point.
The boat was equipped with
staunch lifeboats that would have en-
abled the crew to reacn shore unless
the boat had gone to pieces IN explo-
sion or ice jam. Others who scout
this theory think the boat may have
sprung a slow leak or is delayed by
engine trouble.
Boats that put into Erie and Cleve-
heavy it is doubtful if they could have
sighted the Cornell even had they
passed within ordinary mailing dis
tance.

Harding's illness will not permit her
to go out, altho her condition was
sufficiently improved for her to have
dinner with the president in the
private dining salon on the first floor.
This was first time in more than three
months that her physicians had per-
mitted her to partake heartily of solid

HARDING WOULD SEE WORLD
President Plans Trips First TO Florida,
Then to Alaska

Washington, Dec. 25.-Unless pre-
vented by administrative exigencies.
President Harding hopes to make his
long delayed trip to Alaska early next
summer, it was learned today. At the
same time he wants to visit the farm
ing communities of the middle and far
west.
Detailed plans for the trip have not
been completed and all the negotiations
are in the nebulous stage, the presi-
dent feeling that he cannot now de-
eide definitely to visit the northwest
until his whole administration pro-
gram has been cleared up. AS las.
summer, when he planned the trip,
circumstances may necessitate a post
ponement this year. For this reason,
none of the arrangements tentatively
made will be announced until later.
While considering plans for the
Alaskan trip. the president hopes to
have his affairs in such shape by
March that he can take Mrs. Harding
to Florida for a rest. Only an ex-
ira session of = new congress, il was
stated, will force cancellation OF the
plans for the Florida vacation this
spring.

Administration A Forces Opposed
to World Conference.
"Is Out of the Question:" De-
cIares Senator SmoOt.
WOULD CROSS DANGER LINE
agricultural Bloc" Preparing
to Support Proposal.
Restore Foreign Markets, Argu-
ment of Capper Group.

washington. Dec 25.-Administra-
ton forces in the senate were
strengthening their lines today in pre-
paration for the fight they will make
this week to prevent adoption of Sem
ator Borah's resolution requesting
President Harding to summon an in
ternational economic and disarma-
ment conference.
Senator Reed Smoot. Republican.
Utah, member of the American debt
funding commission, was among the
increasing number of administration
senators who announced his opposi-
ton to the Borah proposal. while
Senator McNary. Republican. Oregon,
and other Republican members of the
farm bloc" Joined with Senator Cap
per. Republican, Kansas. in prepar-
ing to throw the full weight of their
votes and influence behind the plan
Of the Idaho senator.
The argument to be advanced by
senator's from agricultural states is
that something must be done immedi-
ately to restore Europe's purchasing
power and to again make European
markets available for American pro-
ducts.
Borrow Trouble.
"If Senator Borah's proposal were
adopted we would only be borrowing
trouble" said Senator Smoot in serv-
ing notice he was prepared to COM
bat the '.bloc's" argument. ''It is
utterly out of the question for the
United States to call such a confer
ence as Senator Borah proposes. The
first thing we would be asked TO do
would be to forget the allied debt.
We would be letting down the bars to
endless discussion and complications.
We would be crossing the danger
line"
Borah was expected to make one of
his chic militant fights to prevent his
proposal from being sidetracked or
emasculated- He planned to press his
motion for a suspension of the senate
plan as an amendment to the pending
navy supply bin. and prevent it from
being knocked out on a point of order
such as Senator Lodge, of Massachu-
setts. the Republican leader, is con-
making against it.
Leaders Are Confident.
It would require a two-tnirds vote
to sustain Borah's motion. and admin
istration leaders are confident of their
ability to command more than the
necessary one-third to prevent this. |
even if the Democratic side rallies to |
Borah's support. A showdown on his |
proposal is not expected, however, un-
til there has been an abundance of
debate on the entire international sit
ua ton.
In urging the necessity for an eco /
nomic conference at this time. Sena- /
tor Borah Will point out that the op- /
position to his plan is along the same /
lines as the opposition to the arma- 4
ment conference when ii was first sug- /
gested more than a year ago.
There was great timidity and much |
opposition at first" he said today,
but more mature reflection led to a 1
very general support"
