First Frost of Season
Promised This Morning

The first frost Of the season was
scheduled to make its appearance early
this morning, and warning was sent
broadcast by The Weather Bureau to
truck gardeners and farmers in the
metropolitan district and throughout
New Jersey. Unless precautions are
taken to protect vegetables and fruit
from this and subsequent frosts, the
local bureau said, the damage will be
considerable.
Reports from points west of the
Mississippi River showed higher tenn
perature yesterday than at any time
during the last week. so it is expected
that the cool spell along the Atlantic
seaboard will be of brief duration.
The forecast for to-day Is fair, with
fresh nSMhWsst windS.

BERLIN, Sept. 25.-Soviet Russia has
taken the first step toward formation
of Russo-Asiatic entente which ts
to build balance of power against the
big and little ententes of Europe.
According to information reaching
here to-day the Moscow government
has addressed notes to the diplomatic
representatives of Mongolia, Persia
and Afghanistan in Moscow request
ing them to sound their governments
on close union with Russia, the now
coalition also to include Turkey and
Buchara. Lenine's move, it is under
stood in Berlin. was made after con-
sultaton with the Angora government,
which gave full approval to the under
taking
Moscow's aim is to combine the en-
tire Mahometan world against the
European nations, with the purpose Of
forging new weapon to compel the
admission of Russia to the settlement
of the Dardanelles problem and to
force Allied recognition of the Soviet
republic after the establishment of The
new Turkish regime under Mustapba
Kemals domination in Constantinople
In German diplomatic circles TODAY
it was believed that the plan had a
good chance to succeed, the only oh
stacle being the Soviet governments
continued fued with Enver Pasha. who
IS expected to return to power in Tur-
key in consequence of the Kemalist
victory.
Foreign Minister Tchitcherin's dec
laration to the Tribune correspondent
last week that Enver Pasha really was
dead is denied in official circles here,
where it Is insisted that Enver is very
much alive and pushing the offensive
against Soviet troops in Eastern
Buchara. His troops threaten the rear
guard of the Bolshevik forces.
Moscow is pictured as much dis
turbed by Enver Pasha's reported ac-
tivities and his refusal to "stay dead %
because of the resultant damage TO
Russian prestige in the Far East. II
is, therefore, ready to conclude the
struggle by compromise, in order to
have free hand in executing it's plan
for powerful Russo-Asiatic alliance.
At the Russian Embassy to-day il
was announced that the Moscow gov
ernment had officially demanded of the
Allies that it be admitted to the pro-
posed Near East peace conference. and
it was hinted that France would sup
port the demand as result of un-
official conversations between Paris
and Moscow.

I Faces

Backs Hearst
Upstate Leaders Declare
They Will Fight Him on
Floor and Try TO Dust
Him From Leadership
Delegates Favor Smith
Reports Fix Editors Follow
ing at rs Outside OF
Tamnany Delegate O III
Special Dtspatch to The Tribune


SYRACUSE, Sept. 25.-Apprchensive
over eleventh hour activities of back
ers Of William Randolph Hearst, a
group Of upstate leaders, supporters
of Alfred E. Smith, laid plans here to-
day for revolt in case Charles F.
Murphy makes a last-minute shift and
attempts to swing the New York dele
cation to the publisher.
These leaders in case the Tammany
chief deserts Smith will fight Murphy
on the convention floor and try to oust
him from leadership. They assert they
have the votes to do 1t. Among those
taking part in this pact are Willia H
Fitzpatrick, of Buffalo; William H
Kelley, of Syracuse; Harlan C. Ripper
and Louis II. Antisdale, OF Rochester;
Edwin Corning, Of Albany, and half
dozen others.
Charges are prevalent that Hearst
is attempting to blackjack Murphy into
delivering the Tammany vote under
threats of organizing third ticket
This threat, coupled with the fact that
Hearst launched his new newspaper
horns, stirred the leaders to action.
Smith men have heard also that
Hearst himself is coming to Syracuse
Wednesday, ostensibly to look over his
new newspaper, but in reality person
ally to direct his own fight at the con-
vention.
Reports from various counties where
Hearst has been claiming delegates re-
ccived at headquarters show his
strength has been overestimated The
Seneca County vote, claimed by the
publisher, is solid for Smith. Likewise
in Saratoga County William H. Man
ming and the Smith forces have tri-
umphcd over Edwin S. Harris, former
Democratic state chairman and Hearst
backer. Of Monroe County's twenty
four delegates fifteen are pledged for
Smith and only nine for Hearst. The
latter has been claiming them all.
Up State Against Hearst
Other reports from county chairmen
show that there is not single up
state county which will support Hearst
as a unit, and giving him the benefit
of several doubtful sections there is
not much chance of his getting moro
than twenty-five upstate delegates.
The greater New York delegation will
control the situation with its 724 dele
gates. Of these about two hundred of
the Kings and Queens representatives
are for the Hearst-Hylan combina ation.
The other five hundred are for Smith.
No upstate leader of Importance who
has arrived here seriously believes
Murphy will dare swing his dele
gates to Hearst, one of them saying
it would be political suicide for him
to do so. Those opposed to Hearst up
state have held series of conferences
and plans are all laid for an upheaval
if there is any sign of double cross
by the Tammany chief. One upstate
leader declares Murphy would be
whipped in the convention if he tried
to put the publisher across.

Giants Win Pennant
In 1O-Inairsg Victory

The National League pennant
race Is ended with the New York
Giants the 1922 champions. They
passed out of the danger zone
yesterday through a ten-inning
victory over the st. Louis Cardi-
nails. Even if the McGrawmen
lose all the remaining seven
games on their schedule while the
second place Pirates are winning
their three remaining games, the
leadership will not change. The
final standing under such condi-
tions would read:
Won. Lost. PC.
New York -. 80 65 .573
Pittsburgh 49,. SO 66 .571
Both the Yankees and Browns
were idle yesterday, and will be
again to-day and tomorrow. The
Yankees open three-game series
at Boston on Thursday, and fin
ish Sunday at Washington. The
Browns begin a series of three
games with the White Sox Fri
day. One more Yankee victory,
or one St. Louis defeat, will settle
the race.

Appleby yesterday. "We have no such

The champagne, which has all the

cider originally is misunderstanding. To
give it "kick" extra grain alcohol is
added and to make it sparkle and effcr-

Obregon Settles Article
II Dispute, Is Report

Ell PAsO, Tex, Sept. 25.-President
Obregon has signed decree declaring
retroactive Article 27 of the
Mexican Constitution, which provides
that the Mexican government retains
ownership of the sub-soil on all prop
erty, giving it mineral and oil property
rights, M. f. Johnson. editor of MEX
ico," local periodical, says he has
been informed.
From The Tribnne's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Reports
that President Obregon Of Mexico has
signed a decree declaring nonretroac-
tive Article 27 of the Mexican
Constitution lack official verification
here, and until verified officially will
not influence the policy of this gov
ernment as to recognition.
This government has been inclined
to await a final decision of the Mexi-
can Supreme Court on the question of
whether Article 81 is retroactive.
If it turns out that Tor any reason
Obregon has signed decree of the
nature referred to, and it can be con-
sidered that the question is finally
and fully disposed Of, there is little
doubt that the effect would be TO pave
the road to early recognition.

Ascension Island
Home Of Big Turtles

An island that is by official fiction
a boat.
Such is Ascension Island between
Africa and South America. says a
bulletin from the Washington, ID. c.,
headquarters Of the National Geo
graphic Society. 1t Is this island,
according to dispatches from Eng
land, which the British admiralty is
seriously considering evacuating as a
means of saving the 100000 odd dol
lars which it costs British taxpayers
annually.
Ascension. Island is unique among
British possessions because OF the
method by which it is governed, con-
tinues the bulletin. A naval captain
under an admiral stationed at Glib
ralter controls the rather limited des-
tiny of the six by seven mile territory
for all the world like his fellow cap
tains control their ships. The little
garrison and its families. and the
servants. who are largely negroes
from Liberia--only 200 or 500 inhab-
itants at most-make up the crew"
of the good ship Ascension.
Ascension is. broadly speaking.
companion isle to st. Helena, 500
miles to the southeast. Its occupa-
ton was connected in a way with Ma
poleon's exile. The island was oc-
cupied by the British navy in 1915.
largely for the purpose OF more COM
pletely guarding the isolation of the
distinguished prisoner. 1t has since
been maintained in the double ca
pacity OF a supply station for British
naval vessels and the mountain site
OF a sanatorium for soldiers and ma
rines sick as result OF duty on the
tropical coast OF Africa.
Ascension was discovered by the
Portuguese, in 1901. 1t was unin-
habited and remained unoccupied un-
til the time Of Napoleon's exile.
There was nothing about Assem-
sion to prove attractive to settlers.
All the lower part Of the island was
practically without plant life be-
cause OF drouth. Only the upper
part OF Green mountain. which reach
es a height of moye than $500 feet.
supported growth of grass and
shrubs Near the summit Of this
mountain a sanatorium has been
maintained. A limited acreage in the
uplands Is cultivated to fur
nish vegetables and fruits for
the sanatorium and for the
little hamlet of Georgetown estab-
lished on the lee shore near anchor
age.
No vertebrate life was found on the
island. But in the spring It has al
ways been q land of gigantic turtles.
Thousands of these, weighing 500 to
500 pounds each. swarm to the
beaches at that time and deposit their
eggs in the sand. ''Flocks" Of turtles
are kept in ponds. and from time to
time are made into soup and other
