UNEASY DAY PASSED
 IN CONFERENCE CIRCLES
By Associated Press

Genoa, May 9.-Genoa passed an uneasy day speculating on the effect the Russian reply to the allied memo randum would have on the future of the economic conference. The Rus sians were busily engaged tonight in completing their reply which it is expected will be presented tomorrow
 M. Tchitcherin was in Genoa for only a short time; then he and the principal members of the Russian delegates gathered at Santa Mar ghareta and began putting the fin- ishing touches on the reply which 1t is believed will be highly concllia- tory and will open the way for a continuation of the negotiations.
 The differsnces between Premier Lloyd George and M. Barthou have apparently been softened somewhat and there are many indications that the Belgians are less irreconcilable in their attitude, and may be persuaded to approve the memorandum to the Russians on condition it be made clear that Belgian property in Russia must be restored to the former own CTS If possible and cannot in any case be transferred to others
