DATE FOR FARLEY TENTATIVELY SET ,.

Great Britain Insists Upon Further Postponement, But French 0bject-FinaI
 Plans Uncertain
By Associated Press

Paris, Novmeber 12.-The French foreign office today announced that the date of the Greco-Turkish peace conference at Lausanne had been tentatively set for mot later than Novmber 20."
 Originally the date set was No vember IS, but the British govern ment desired postponement. It was said today that the British wese arguing for a still later date, but the French government considers a weeks postponement ample.
 The sameA uncertainty also clouds the proposed preliminary meeting be- tween the representatives of Great Britain France and Italy. The Brit ish desire sort of interallied con ference to precede the Lausanne gathering. while M. Poincare, the French premier. thinks simple con versations" will be adequate. He has suggested that he can see Lord Cur zon, the British foreign secretary, while Lord Curzon is passing through I
 Italy's Position Vague
 Italy's position is rather vague. Rome dispatches have said that Pre- mier Mussolini was not ready for the conference. They did not indicate, however, when he would be prepared to be represented at Lausanne. or what would be his attitue to conyer sattons between the principal allies.
 Most of the French delegation, headed by NJ. Bompard, intended to leave for Lausanne tonight. but their trip was cancelled when M. Poincare decided that he would await the ar rival here of Lord Curzon Meantime the French have not completed the organization of their corps of experts but IL is likely that General Wey- spectipely the delegation's military and naval advisors.
 Turks May Come to Paris
 The Turkish delegation, headed by Ismet Pssha, which left Constanti- nople last Thursday, may not remain at Lausanne. where 1t arrived to, night but continue on to Paris. Tho French government has asked the Angora representa- tive here. Ferid Bey. to notify 1smet of the postpone ment and to invite the delegation tc come to the capital.
 Premier Poincare will be busy with a speech in the Chamber of Deputies next Friday so that it is expected whatever action or conversation Is finally agreed on 1t will take place Saturday or Sunday. Everything however. is as much in the air as the plans for the Lausanne conference have ybeen.
 The French feel there is every chance of Great. Britain and France being In general accord on ques- tions on which Lord Curzon is ex- tremely anxious to obtain allied agreement before the meeting with the Turks; but there is no conceal ment of the fact that there is not entire harmony in the views of the French and the British. The French, in any case. think that it Is better to get to work with the Turks quickly in order to avoid any out breaks around Constantinople, and to trust to luck to find time at Lau- same. or by wire, or through ann bassadors to agree on such com mon course as still may be found al this late date.

 The action of the fuel administra- tor followed meeting of the Cham Der ofs Commerce and city officials here Friday, at which the coal short- age was attributed to the lack of railroad facilities in transporting coal from the mines in Tennessee, Virginia and Kentucky.
 Gov. Thomas w. Hardwick today re- ceived an invitation from Gov. Thomas E. Kilby of Alabama to attend a conference in Montgomery Novem- Der 15, at which the chief executives of Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Florida, Alabama and Georgia are to discuss the coal situation.

Tennes- see, Florida. Mississippi and Louisi- ana here next Wednesday for dis cussion of the fuel situation in the southeast.
 He admitted that telegrams had been sent the governors with refer ence to the fuel situation, but indi- cated that no statement would be made until replies had been received.
 The fuel situation has become se- rious during the past week. due to the inability of the railroads to fur nish cars for the movement of do- mestic coal from the mines.

SUBSIDY WILL BE CHIEF MEASURE AT
 SPECIAL SESSION
Vote Upon Administration Bill Will Be Close, Leaders Predict-0utcome Is
 Doubtful
By Associated Prsss

Washington. November 12.-ship subsidy so far as the House is con eerned will form the backbone of the Legislative program for the extra session of Congress called for Novem- Der 20. by President Harding. The program being developed in confer ence among republican lcefiers calls for the President to address Congress at joint session Tuesday. November 21. or to send a message urging speed with the subsidy and supply bills in order to avoid. if possible, an extra session of the new Congress next spring.
 Doubt as to the fate of the ship subsidy bill increased as members returned. Signs of growing opposi- tion, especially in the Senate. were 1t was predicted even in republican quarters, would be close.
 Many democrats and some. repub- 1ican leaders are asserting privately that the bill will not get through the Senate by March 4 The crush of appropriation and other bills. with the certainty of bitter and deter mined opposition, even to the possible extent of a filibuster, was said to make the ship bill most uncertain feature.
 Will submit Budget
 Republican leaders are preparing to put pressure behind the appropria- ton bills The budget will be sub mitted early in December. It has been "cut to the bone" republican leaders said. predicting that the re- duetion would make easier the pas sage of the annual hills. stripped of legislation as they must be under the new rules. The prospect that no substantial increases would be asked for or given for the army and navy was expected to expedite passage of these bills.
 The regular appropriation bills cannot be taken < up in the House until December 1. and precedence will be given the ship subsidy measure at the special session. The Liberian loan remains the Senate's unfinished business and may be taken up dur ing opening week. The Dyer anti lynching bill. under a republican steering committee decision. is to come up next in the Senate, but IS not to be pressed to the extent of blocking other important bills. lead CTS said.
 May Lay Bill Aside
 There were private predictions that the Dyer bill would be laid aside early in the regular session.
 Several Investigations, adjourned over election, are to be resumed, in- cluding the Senate inquiry into gaso- line and oil prices. Impeachment charges of Representative Keller, re- publican, Minnesota. against Attorney General Daugherty are on the House judiciary committees calendar.
 A start on farm credit legislation is to be made by the farm bloc dur ing the short session. Personal credit proposals of several bills already in- troduced are to be composed and an effort made to work out reform measure to afford short time loans to farmers. Re-introduction of sol- diers' bonus bills also is in prospect but action was not believed possible until the next Congress.

HARRINGTON URGES PEACE FARLEY ID
 AVOID TURK WAR
ConstantinopIe Likened to Vast Powder Magazine. England Working to Pre-
 vent Possible Explosion
By Associated Press

Constantincple, November 12.-Con- stantinople may be likened to a vast powder magazine. which the British sAe striving in the face of growing difficulties to keep from ignition. General Harrington is urging the home government to hasten the. peace conference as the best means of avoiding an open rupture. He be- lieves that if the Turks can be helc in leash until the Lausanne meeting begins, the danger of hostilites will be averted.
 The exhaustiess patience and mod eration of General Harrington in view of what is held to be the unrea- soning and unconciliatory attitude of the Angora government has excited the admiration of observers.
 In .heir earnest desire for peace, the British are conceding every pos sible demand to the Turks The latest concD ssion is abolition of al- lied censorship of Turkish newspa- pers and withdrawal of supervision over the constantinopleA Angora tele- graph lines and other nationalist and civil administrative machinery.
 Sultan Remains
 Rafet Pasha, the nationalist gover- nor. now has an equal voice in all matters relating to security and order in the city. He has been invited to draw up police plans which would be acceptable to Angora, but the allies will insist on retention of the control of passports until after the peace conference.
 In spite of repeated and persistent reports circulated in Europe and America that the Sultan has abdi- cated. the head of the Moslem world remains in the Yildiz palace. He re- ceives visitors and discharges his usual duties. He participated in the usual Friday Selsmlik and acknowl- edged with his wonted courtesy the presence of foreign spectators. Amer leans were quick to note the sover- eign attired in his customary mili- tary uniform as commander in chief of the Turkish army, although the Angora government insists that he has been shorn of all but spiritual authority over the lslamic peoples.
