AMERICA FORMALLY
INVITED To FARLEY;
NOT LIKELY TO GO
CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2S.-Active
participation by the United States in
the Near East peace conference to
be held al Lausanne, Switzerland,
next month, was formally requested
today by the British. French and Ital-
ian governments through their diplo-
matte representatives here.
The invitation was handed to Secre-
tary Hughes by Sir Auckland Geddes,
the British ambassador, who was &C
companied to the state department by
Charge Chambrun. of the French en-
bassy, and Charge Rossi, of the Ital-
ian embassy. The three allied ENJOYS
spent exactly three minutes in the Sec
retary's office and left with little hope
apparently that the invitation would
be accepted. 1t was indicated that the
formal American reply would not be
given until the question had been
talked over further among administra-
ton officials, but there was every
sign that this government would go no
further in participation in the confer
ence than TO designate an observer to
be present at Lausanne, and to report
developments to Washington.
