POLITICAL EYES
Of NATION TURN
To INDIANA VOTE
Coming Contest Holds Interest for
Politicians from President Down;
New Won't Tell Of Ex-
pense Account.
BY LAWRENCE MARTIN.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, April 21.-Politically,
Indiana will become the center of
the United States within the next
few days. 1t will be that center
until after Tuesday, May second.
On that day occurs the primary
at which will be selected candidates
on the republican and democratic
tickets for the United States senate.
Harding administration officials
from the president down, are watch
ing Indiana and listening for tidings
with extraordinary interest. This is
because Harry s. New, who is seek
ing denomination is politically the
living personification of the Hard
ing administration. The two men
are the closest personal and political
friends.
New is therefore peculiarly a
Harding republican" in this in
stance, and whatever happens to
him will be felt in administration
circles to be a strong indication Of
the trend of popular feeling about
the Harding administration.
The issue is clean cut in Indiana,
because is opposed by Albert ]. Bev-
eridge, totally different type, po-
litically and personally. Beveridge is
a moderate progressiye-that is he
is not what would be called a radi-
CAL Neither is he in News con-
servative' classification, for New is
one of the old guard in the senate.
The campaign has been lively
New went home the other day with
this farewell:
Don't worry. When this primary
is over, you will know nobody but
New has been running"
His confidence is not entirely
shared by all his friends. Taking
the Newberry case as his reason,
Beveridge has been making public
weekly during the campaign an item
lied expense account for the week.
He invited New to do the same but
the invitation was not accepted.
Harding apparently has taken no
part in the campaign.
The democrats have five contest
ants for the nomination. They are
former Governor Ralston, B. b.
Shively, Dan w. Simms, Franklin
Howard and DR.. J. A. Sanders.

German Reply Received.
Nv HENRY WOOD


UNITED Press Staff Correspondent)
Genoa, April 2l.-Germany's of.
fIcial reply to. the filled and little
entente" note regarding the Russo.
German treaty was delivered today
The Russian delegation announced
its reply to the allied experts terms
concerning Russia's debts and obli.
cations would be delivered this af-
ternoon.
With these matters in hand. the
Genoa conference, which has marked
time for several days, once more
got under way.
Reply Is Evaslve.
The official German reply was
evasive. II neither consented to an
nulment of the Russo-German com
mercial pact. nor TO complete with
drawaI by the German delegation
from the political commission, the
most important subdivision Of the
conference.
However, II agrees TO withdraw
from further discussions regarding
Russia.
The whole tone OF the German
reply was mild and conciliatory. II
agrees that the German delegation
should only participate in discus
sions of the political commission
relative to Russia in case their col
laboration is especially asked
Equivalent to Acceptance.
This is considered equivalent to
acceptance of the allied demand
contained in Lloyd Georges note,
but leaves the way open for Ger
many to take part in other discus
sions of the commission.
In other words, Germany does not
consider she had been barred from
the deliberations of the commission,
except insofar as they concern Rus
sia. This is merely saving of her
face, however, as Russia is at pres
ent the chief and only concern of
the political commission Of the con-
ference.
The reply emphasized the fact
that Germany still was interested
in all questions before the confer
ence not relating to treaties with
Russia, or to the Russo-German
pact itself.
Two Issues Arise.
While the allies and nation mem
bers of the political commission
consider the German reply, two out
side issues arise:
1. France, dissatisfied with the
German reply and the measure OF
punishment (banishment from politi-
cal discussions regarding Russia)
meted out by Lloyd George and ac-
cepted by the German delegation,
still wants to annul the Russo-Ger-
man pact. The French delegation
was reported to have been temporar-
lily won over, but this Is far from
the viewpoint of the government at
Paris. Frances efforts to break
down the pact at Rapailo Stiil
threaten to prove disturbing.
2. The "neutrals coun-
tries headed by Sweden and Spain,
which are not unfavorably inclined
towards Germany, still insist the al
lies and the little entente" had no
right to bar Germany from the prin-
cipal discussions of the political
commission. If Germany is salts
fled, probably they will keep silent
for the present, but definite align
ment Of opposing groups at Genoa
has been forecasted by their atti-
tude. These little nations, outside
the allies and 'little entente" group,
seem ready to back up Germany and
Russia, If those two countries take
firm stand in the full conference.

Payroll robbers got Sf,9S5.t5 yester-
day morning from two messengers for
the Phalanx Silk Mills, in Jersey City,

side-car motorcycle.
The messengers were Rudolph Ecker,
of 3423 Hudson Boulevard. Jersey City,
who carried the canvas money bag, and
Charles Falst, of 70S Cortland Street
West Hoboken. They were returning
with the mony from the Merchants
National Bank at Central Avenue and
Hutton Street, Jersey City.
They were near Hudson Boulevard
on Irving Street, within few doors of
the silk mill, when two men stepped up
to them. Each OF the pair had re-
volver which he pressed against the
side of one Of the messengers.
Several persons were nearby, but
none of them realized what was going
on, the hold-up men shetering their
weapons with their bodies and their
victims being afraid to make any out
cry.
One of the robbers seized the money
bag and both turned and fed. Pedes
trians turned in mild wonder to watch
men capable of such exertion on a
warm morning. Ecker and Falst, dazed
by the peril which had confronted
them so suddenly, gestured frantically
and shouted incoherently, but were un-
able for several minutes to make
others understand that they had been
held up.
