Mathilde Shifts
Plans; Rushes
Back to Chicago
Unexpected Return Believed
To Be Due to Maternal
Opposition to Fathers
Appointment as Guardian
Hearing Set for To-day
Mrs. Mccormick Said TO
Believe Daughter Would
Not Be Happy With Oser
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

CHICAGO, May 3O-Miss Mathildc
Mccormick, who was to have sailed
from New York to-day on the Beren-
garia for her expected marriage In
Europe to Max Oser, Swiss riding mas
ter, came back to Chicago instead, to
await removal of the legal obstacle
raised by her mother to the appoint
mcnt of her father, Harold f. McCor-
mick, president of the international al
Harvester Company, as her guardian.
The hearing for appointment of Mr..
Mccormick as guardian will be re-
opened tomorrow. Under Swiss law,
minor, to be na 'iagoable, must
have the consent of BOTH parents or
her guardian. AS Mrs. Mccormick, di-
vorced wife of the Harvester magnatc,
has persistently opposed the maria ge,
Miss Mathide sought to comply with
the Swiss law by having her father
named guardian. Then, with his con-
sent, she could get married. 1t was
thought the mater was all settled
before Miss Mathilde started for
New York and Europe, but Mrs. Me
Cormck's action yesterday in entering
an objection to the guardianship petit
ton, disrupted the wedding plans.
Mathildc May Name Guardian
Despite Mrs. Mccormick objections.
the belief was expressed tonight that
to-morrow's hearing would not prevent
formal approval of Mr.. Mccormick as
guardian. Under Illinois law a minor
child of divorced parents may choose
her own guardian, and Miss Mathilde
apparently has chosen her father. When
guardianship proceedings are begun
both parents should be notified, and
as Mrs. Mccormick was not thus APP
praised of the intended proceedings,
her objection was entertained. How
ever. this legal form ality has now been
complied with, and it is asserted that
there seems to be no way for her, to
prevent the action going through.
Mrs. McCormicks opposition to the
wedding is said to represent the stand
of John D. Rockefeller, Miss Mathilde' s
grandfather, who has known
aversion to foreign marriages Mrs.
Mccormick is said to feel justified in
opposing the match for the reason that
she must save Mathilde from her
SELF She herself refused to discuss
the matter with reporters.

Copyright 1922. New York Tribune Inc
AoNDUN, May 30.-Legal advisors to
the British Cabinet informed the gov
efnment to-day at a two-hour session
that thc Collins-De Valera peace pact
IN southern Ireland invalidates the
AngIo-lrlsh treaty and throws the
situation back to where it was six
months ago. This opinion was freely
discussed, with all members of the
Cabinet IN attendance, and there was
no mistaking the fact after adjourn
ment that many Of the ministers took
grave view of the situation.
Immediately after the session Pre-
mier Lloyd George called in Michael
Collins and Arthur Griffith, heads Of
the Free State, for further conver-
satlons. After this meeting the Irish
men seemed as hopeful of favorable
outcome to the negotiations as ever.
lhey are anxious to get back to Dub
lin for the Dali Eireann meeting on
Friday.
Winston Churchill, Secretary for the
Colonies, again postponed his state
mcnt on the Irish situation, saying that
he would make it tomorrow. He
hintcd that no decision had yet been
reached and that he preferred to wait
another day.
May Try TO Force Debate
Before Parliament adiourns over The
Whitsuntlde holiday some Of the die
hard Unionists are expected to try
to force debate on the Irish ques-
ton, as they tcel the time has come
for showdown. The greatest interest
evidenced by the volley of questions
hurled at Churchill. in the House to-
day attached to the measures being
taken by the British Cabinet for the
protection of Ulster. Churchill was
able to give reassurine information,
explaining that the evacuation of
southern Ireland by British troops had
been suspended temporarily, that no
munitions had been turned over to the
Free State government since the sign
ing of the pact with the republicans,
and that more British troops had been
sent to Ulster One question de-
veloped the fact that the irish rapub-
lican army had seized two towns in
Ulster. Several members tried vainly
to get Churchill to explain why the
British, with their nintecn battalions
at Belfast, didn't drive the invaders
out.
The "die -hards' tried to get the
colonial secretary to promise that the
Crown forces would be used for this
purpose-an admission that would have
had a disastrous effect on the treaty
but Churchill parried the questions on
this score. There is no doubt but that
the British would support the Ulster
ties. but they don't want to admit this
while the treaty negotiations with the
Free ,Staters are in progress.

industry.
The combination will bring into force
the ideas of Mr. Duke, who has recent
ly been in control cf the United Retail
stores Corporation, but who has been
less in the public eye than George ].
Whelan. its president. who now resigns
his interest. The fact that nowhere in
the official announcement was there any
reference to Mr.. Whclan's relation to
the merger plan led to some specula-
tion last night as to whether he was
being forcefuliy eliminated from the
company which he so largely built up.
An effort to reach Mr.. Wnean at his
home failed, but MIR. Dixon said that
the settlement had been entirely ami
cable. This statement was in line with
Mr.. Whelan's known desire to retire
and his close association with ana
friendship for Mr.. Duke,
Mr.. Dixon is TO continue rs presi-
dent of the enlarged company, in the
creation Of which MIR. Duke figures as
the guiding spirit and in which he is
expected to resume his active interest

Manfred W. Enrich, receiver for the
defunct concern, indicated yesterday
that the District Attorney could have
access to the books at any time. This

ton will be permitted to remove the
books from the receivers office, Mr..
Enrich said.
He explained that ne and Mr.. Banton
ought to be able to agree to the cx-
animation Of the DER company records
and accounts without this in any way
interfering with the hearings which
are being conducted before Seaman
Miller as referee in bankruptcy. The
use of the books for purposes of tcsti-
mony at these hearings has d disclosed
operations so sensational in character
as to convince the District Attorney
that the indictments will follow as q
matter of course.

receivers promptly appealed this de-
cison and only the denial Of Dier's ap-

as evidence.
