WATCH NUCLEUS
OF THIRD PARTY
La FOllette-Hearst COali-
ton Meets to Form
Organization
by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, May 25.- Both
republican and democratic parties
have "observers keeping sharp
eve on the LaFollette progressive
railroad conference which opened
in Chicago today. Forewarned that
the conference was likely to be the
genesis of a third party movement,
the two old parties sent competent
scouts to report:
l. Who wento the conference.
.. Who stayed away from it.
Early arrival of Mayor Hylan of
New York and the prospect of a
Hearst -LaFollett coalition in 1924
i'll an insurgent movement directed
at both the republican and demo-
cratic organizations, confirmed
political observers here in the be
lief they have hel dali along-that
LaFollette s conference is prima--
lily third party preliminary.
Starts Vendetta
But politically it will prove the
beginning of vendetta through
which Hearst viii lwreak his re-
venge upon the democratic party
and LaFollette will get his at the
expense of republicans.
The moment such coalition is
formed the LaFollette movement
will lose the support of host of
of progressives who, in joining
the "bloc' gave notice that the
moment it entered partisan politics
or threatened to become Il third
party, they would quit.
1t is significant that some of
those are absent from the Chicago
meeting.
