ERROR IN COUNT
MAY GIVE HICKS
A SEAT IN HOUSE

Santa B'e. n. NJ, Dec. 5.-"Uncle
John" Hicks. veteran cowman and
partner of United States Senator
A. A. Jones, was believed 20 have
d chance Of getting q seat in tho
lower house OF The sixth Iegisla-
ture from Guadalupe county when
George H. Hunker, Democratic
state chairman, and Carl A. Hatch
today discovered what appeared TO
be an error in the returns from ore
precinct in Guadalupe county.
Previously John Faircloth, Re-
publican candidate for representa-
tive from this county was thought
to be elected by one vote. The
vote previously given was Fair
cloth 1852, Hicks, 1881. But Mr..
Hunker today called attention to
the fact that the returns made out
by the election judges from one
precinct showed Faircloth 116 and
Hicks 81, while a check of the tab
ulation inside the poll book show
ed Faircloth 113 and Hicks S3
which, he said would make 'the
total vote, Faircloth 1529, Hicks
1880 and COVE "Uncle John" a seat
in the lower house by ono vote.
If Hicks is seated, and in view of
the discovery made today there
was believed to be some probability
OF a contest in the event Mr.. Fair
cloth is given the certificate of
election. the standing in the lower
house then will be, Democrats 81,
Republicans IS.

LAUSANNE MEET
IS NOT YET ON
THE ROCKS. SAY
ALLIED ENJOYS
Treaty Makers Devote the
Day to an Attempt to
Harmonic the Divergent
Views of Delegations
STRAITS DISCUSSION
TO BE RESUMED TODAY
Allies Seem Determined to
Ignore the Attempts of
Soviet Russia Delegates
to Speak for Turks

Lausanne, Dec. 5.-(By the AS
sociated Prcss) The treaty meet
ers at Lausanne devoted them
selves today to an attempt to har-
monize the divergent views of the
various delegations; everybody
seemed to realize that a few more
hectic sessions like that Of yester-
day would break down the confer
ence and postpone near eastern
peace indefinitely.
The allied leaders held long con-
sultations to frame a common pro-
ject for dealing with the Dardan-
elles and are reported to have sue
ceeded in drafting a proposal per-
mitting warships to use the straits
under international control.
The indications tonight are that
the straits discussion will be re-
sumed tomorrow, when the entente
countries will fall in with tho
Turkish suggestion and set forth
| their wishes. The allies seem de-
termined to ignore the Russian at
tempt to speak for Turkey, and are
determined also to convince the
Russian representatives that Boil
shevik Russia Is not dominating
the straits discussion.
The fact that Ishmet Pasha con-
| ferred with the allied leaders
helped to strengthen the impress
sion that If the conference is not
yet out of danger. it at least is not
yet on the rocks.
Another feature Of the day was
the pope's Intervention in behalf oC
| the Christians Of Constantiuople.

IS
CONSIDERED At
CAB|NE 7. MEET
1t Is Indicated That This
Will Be One of the Sub
jeCts Harding Will Deal
With in His Message

Washington, Dec. 5.-The whole
problem OF immigration was dis
cussed at length today by Presi-
dent Harding and his cabinet, and
il was indicated afterwards that
this would be one of the subjects
with which the executive would
deal in his Forthcoming annual
message to congress.
While it was stated at the white
house that there had been no de-
-cision as to policy at the cabinet
meeting, some administration Of
ficers were under the impression
that Mr.. Harding would propose
continuation of the present re-
stricbon law with certain amend
ments sponsored by Secretary Da-
Wis and designed to raise the gem
eral standard of emigrants en-
barking for the United States.
The labor secretary, it was said
authoritatively is opposed to any
increase of the existing three per
cent limitation, at least until the
tide of immigration from northern
and western Europe reaches the
quota allowed by law.
Thus far the number of immi-
grants coming from those sections
have equalled only about so per
cent of the authorized maximums.
On the other hand. officials point
ed out, the inflow from southern
Europe has reached the permitted
maximum each year with many
thousands of other in that section
seeking TO come to this country.
Amendments to the present law
Mr.. Davis has prepared will pro-
vide for examination at embarka-
tibn ports of all immigrants. with
particular reference to character
and physical and mental condi-
tions. There also would be a
blood test. The examinations
would be conducted by public
health and immigration bureau
officers stationed abroad.
The immigration problem, as
explained today, presents many
perplexing phases and any solu-
tion of it might have it's effect on
general economic conditions over
the country. II was stated that
unless a shortage of common Ia
Dor could be relieved through i'm
migration. there would be ten
dency toward higher wages for
this character of help with atr
tendant increases in prices and
also the inducement for farm
hands to flock to the industrial
centers. On the other hand, at
tention was called that a letting
down Of the immigration bars
might produce an overabundance
of labor. with resultant unem-
ployment, lowering OF purchas-
ing power and depression of a
more or less general character.

RAILWAY ENGINES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.--Reports to
the interstate commerce commission in
dicatc that 60 per cent of the nation s
locomotives have bcen rendered defect

tives in the country.
The report was in response to a SEN
atorial resolution recently passed.
Notices were served upon the carriers
operating unsafe locomotives that they
were violating the interstate commerce
act and demand was made that the
equipment be Withdrawn from service.
Carriers are not making boiler in
spection as required by law and con.
siderable unsafe equipment is being op'
Grated, the commission stated.
Reports from our inspectors indie
ate very general let down in the mat.
ter of inspection by the carriers which
gives cause for concern the report
said.
The carriers reported they had been
unable to make the inspection because
