chairman declares the committee is
equally divided on the question of
equality of representation for wom-
en-, and that but for the opposition
of southern members, the women
could corral sufficient strength to
gain their point.
There was deal Of dissatisfae-

Illuminated against the countries of
Europe in an alleged effort to i'm
press the United States that it would
be wise to have nothing to do with
them, and that the Presidents sug-
gestion regarding American partici-
patton in the court of the League
Of Nations should be repudiated.
Following this attack, Secretary
Hughes found it necessary to order
the chairman Of the committee to
withdraw it from circulation Critics
sprung up on every side, and the
New York Tribune, recalling the
fact that during the World war,
Adams was regarded in some quar-
tiers as pro- German, demanded his
official head.
Democrats Cheered.s
At present, Adams, in an obvious
effort to escape the spotlight, is
endeavoring to put the democratic
national convention in the slough
of despond. He has called upon
Chairman Cordell Hull to define the
committees attitude respecting the
League of Nations He declares
that democrats on this question are
sharply divided, and stand at vary
ing points between the position of
former President Wilson and Sena-
tor James A. Reed of Missouri.
Chairman Hull is said to be aware
of the effort of Adams to precipi-
tate a raw among democrats, an
effort which the democratic chair
man is said to regard as transpar-
ent even to the inexperienced vision
of child, and entirely dsingenuis.
He will not be beguiled into at
tempting to satisfy the Adams Gu
riosity.
