REPORT HUGHES AND RlCCl
HAD STORMY CONFERENCE
Italian Ambassador, Who Leaves
Monday, Not Likely to Return

Washington, June 1O.-The diplo.
matte incident created by Am.
bassador Ricci's insistence the tariff
was an international question and q
proper subject for public comment by
representatives of foreign Governments
Is closed, State Department officials as.
serted yesterday.
The Italian envoy summoned into the
conference by Secretary Hughes late
Thursday Is understood to have given
assurance that he would refrain from
further discussion of the tariff or pend
ing American legislative questions. al
though he declined to subscribe to the
State Department view that the tariff
was wholly domestic question. The
conference is said to have been stormy.
Signor Ricci will sail from the United
States for Italy on Monday. and there
is every indication that he will not re-
turn to his Washington post. 1t has
been rumored that he would relinQuish
the ambassadorship upon his arrival In
Rome for the purpose of re.enteri ing
Italian politics, and the situation
brought about by his recent tariff criti-
cisms and the subsequent statement that
he regarded his utterances as proper
have strengthened the view that he will
not find It convenient to return.
