Impression Prevails That Only an
Official Observer viii Be Sent

Washington, Oct. 27.--The invitation
Of the European Powers asking that the
United States send representative to
the Lausanne peace conference reached
Washington today through foreign dip
lomatic channels. but there was delay
in plans for It's formal presentation to
the State Department.
Great Britain, France and Italy all
are understood to have subscribed to the
invitation, and It had been intended
that officials of the British, French and
Italian Embassies should go to the de-
partment together this afternoon to lay
the note before Secretary Hughes.
Various elements Of delay, however.
made 1t appear doubtful whether the
presentation would take place before to-
morrow.
Meantime American officials continued
their silence regarding the proposal for
American representation at Lausanne,
but the impression prevailed that only
an official observer would be sent by
this Government to report on features
of the negotiations which might affect
the important American interests in
volved.
