Overthrow of Chairman to Be
Attempted at Meeting of
Republicans Thursday.
REvOLN WE'LL ADVANCED
Dissatisfaction Said to Grow
Out Of Hylan and Smith
z Sweeps and 'Over-Secrecy.'

A political housekeeping and the
overthrow Of the Republican county
machine will be attempted by progress
sive Republicans, women Repubii- :
cans. young" Republicans and other
G. o. P. groups dissatisfied with the
leadership of Samuel S. Koenig. New
York county chairman since 1910.
The first move. it Is understood, will
be at a meeting OF the county COM
m,ttee Thursday night in Bryant Hall.
It was learned yesterday that a
resolution will be introduced calling
on each Assembly district to appoint
dc legates to a so-called policy con-
ference The aim Of the conference
Is to shape a new code of ethics for
the party. but its actual purpose, 1t is
said, will be to get rid Of Koenig.
The revolt originated In the Seventh
Assembly district. Simultaneously In
surgent groups have sprung up in other
districts. including a COMMITTEES OK
1.000'-partly formed--and a commit
tee Of women. These elements are seel-
ing an alliance to force a reorganization
of the county committee.
Mr.. Koenig's comment on the policy
conference" was that 1t would be good
thing II It succeeded. His rule through
out twelve years OF ups and downs in
county politics has never been success
fully disputed. In 1919 the Republican
county organization elected Henry FL
Curran President of Manhattan and r.
II. IaGuardia President OF the Board Of
Aldermen. That was the last Repub-
lican victory In this county.
Mayor Hylan carried the county last
year by record Democratic plurality
and this year AL Smith won by a stin
larger vote. The result meant discon-
tent leading to organized revolt against
the Republican old guard.
One of the faults which II Is said the
insurgents find with Koenig's leader
ship Is the alleged star chamber tactics
of the county committee. The progress
sive wing wants open covenants and ac-
cuses the committee OF too much Sc
crecy. They also charge the committee
with being too friendly with the Dem
ocratic machine.
Secret deals have been made between
the Republicans and Tammany. II is al
legged. These things are blamed for the
wearing down OF the Republican morale
In this city and for the shrinkage of the
Republican vote at the last two elec-
tions

cites Treaty obligations.


1T would be interesting to know
whether the good will of Germany is
taken into account In the plan. and
whether its authors have reflected that
putting Germany on her feet is not the
only thing required, but that it is neces-
sary she be convinced her treaty obliga-
tions must be fulfilled"
The French Government is not yet
disposed to release Germany from the
pledges given TO the Allies under tho
Treaty OF Versailles to guarantee tho
payment OF reparations. The French
roint Of view might change II France
could be assured that the portion as
signed her in any new settlement would
really be paid.
The impression gathered here was that
the ideas of the International Bankers
Committee which met last June were be-
ing closely followed I'm the present in
stance.
Former Premier Delacroix of Belgium,
rev head Of the National Bank OF
Belgium and Belgian member Of the
Reparations Commission. who is chair
man OF the bankers committee. has been
working since the adjournment OF the
committee last summer with the bank
ers OF the various countries and with
representatives Of interested Govern
ments. The purpose has been TO have
the committee reconvened to work In
cooperation with the allied and neutral
Governments and 30 fix the total sum OF
German reparations as to enable Ger
many 10 pay by means Of an interna-
tional loan Issued in installments.
NJ Delacrcix has had the active sup
port of British and Belgian financial
and Governmental opinion. and he has
carried with him such influences as was
derived from the support OF Or. Wiser
ing. head Of the Dutch state Bank. and
to some extent. II Is understood, of
prominent New York inancicrs.
The general idea of these powerful
European financial groups is that no
settlement can be obtained until the
sum OF German reparations has been
finally fixed at n total OF about 10000
600, 900 gold marks.
The second fundamental consideration
In the view OF these groups is that such
political arrangements shall be made as
shall guarantee that there will be no
impairment of German assets or OF Ger
man facilities for payment during a long
term OF years. This involves political
decisions of the highest Importance for
the Covsrarssnls. cernsrned.

cial circles would await more definite
information before commenting upon
President Harding's supposed plans.
A high official. however. admitted
that the French Government had been
sufficiently worried over the question to
welcome any sort of real help.
"The whole question: he declared, 'is
as TO the nature of the help the United
States IL disposed to give, and IL. as
the dispatches indicate. ii is merely a
loan of money to Germany, or at any
rate giving Germany credit so she will
not be obliged to send money abroad to
buy raw materials and food.
But the Germans have billions of
gold marks In credit abroad. which has
been accommodating ever since the arrnis-
tice from the immense profits they have
made on their exports. Their heads OF
Industry, and even the German Gov

reason may be asked why It is neceS

DICK BAR7HELMESS
 STARRING IN SONNY
Palace Features Remarkable Post
 War Photoplay

Richard Barthelmess in Sonny
 featured at the Palace starting Sum- l day night.
 One of the most remarkable coin-
 cidences of the late war, a dual re-
 semblance by which a returning vet
 eran is mistaken for one of his bud dies who has gone west, furnishes the situation upon which are founded
 the stirring developments in sonny, ' the third First National attraction starring Richard Barthemess, which will be shown at the Palace theater for four days commencing Sunday night.
 Joe Peters, eX-poolroom proprle- tor. returns from France to find himself taken for Sonny Crosby, scion of wealthy, aristocratic Westchester
 family, by the late Sonny's blind mother, Overwhelmed by this ap- peal and faced by the necessity Of carrying out the deception the pool room proprietor begins to change his ways to meet the new influence of his life.
 Instead of the customary bad man good man story that has come to be associated with such plots of regenera- tion the author has written a com pellingly human story of tense emo tional appeal and heart throbs. The part of Joe Peters is one of the char acters taken by the star, who DOT trays it simply and with the same tense interpretation that marked his interpretation of the title role of "Tol'abe David"
 Sonny was originally presented to the amusement world as a stage play by George Hobart, and Pauline Garon. who created the leading fem mine part at that time, is MT. Bar thelmess' leading woman in the screen version.
 The Keith vaudeville bill the first half of the week will be an excellent show as four very fine acts are promised. Heading the bill will be Just Girls seven pretty girlies who offer a song and dance revue in ar original manner. Other acts incude Blanchette and Devere in song and music; A Sternia, former minstrel favorte and now hit in vaudeville, is a blackface comedian who has very comical line of talk and songs that should make him favorite here; Gunther and Romaine, tive clever girls have a pleasing variety offering that features their wonderful, singing and stepping.
 Wallace Reid, popular Paramoun, star will be seen in new automobile speed picture, Across the Continent" at the Palace theater next Thursday, Friday and Saturday. In this picture the star returns to his old love-the automobile and in the transcontinen- tai tale by Byron Morgan, MT Reid has plenty of fine chances to dem onstrate his prowess at the steering wheel. All kinds of thrills and un- expected twists and turns have beer and of course the love element is strongly presented.

Briggs farm From what we've found out before, it's a dead cinch they mean to travel by that road through to the back road through the Shin necock hills and then strike off through Riverhead to the north shore.
 They've been cutting branches and widening that wood road so the big car can get through, and I don't think there's a chance of they're being after anything else but Smith. l have a man at either end of tha, road, watching and others strewn all along the other roads. Of course they haven't an idea what the real trouble is-I fancy they think it's a watching, and l don't think there's the chance of a slip-up.
 ~According to your instructions'- he nodded slightly to Lilian-"I have the best racing driver in this end Of the island stationed in small, fast car at the other end of that road. waiting for a passenger who will di- rect the chase of the big limousine to find out where it goes. There will
 
 station who can play the role of q policeman or a mechanic if either should be needed That accounts for that end of the chase, always ex- cepting the passenger for the fast car"
 Lillian looked at Allen Drake.
 T happen to be that passenger" he said, but I should like to know how far this end of the road is. I had un- derstood that the racing car was to pick me up here"
 His tone expressed extreme doubt of Tom Chester's ability to get him to the rendezvous in time, and the young fellow flushed painfully. Lil- lian again came to the rescue.
 We had to change that plan at the last minute,' she said, because we did not wish to have too obvious a connection between this house and the chase of the limousine One driver is ready to rush you to that station. Allen, at any time you say, and the other will pick you up from there. I should have told you, but overlooked it. Pardon?'
 Her laughing eyes exacted an ac quiescent nod from him, but l knew that he knew her change of plan had been born within the last minute to shield young MT. Chester from Allen Drake's unreasoning captiousness.
