WASHINGTON, May 31.-Hiram

the Hughes Hoover group and en-
trench the Senate irreconcilables as
the dominant faction in the repub-

Johnson returns from Europe soon

fresh opportunity to reach the White

Harding is wavering between the

and the Senate rreconcilables-the
isolationist faction. led by johnson
trying to bring Harding over to their
side by Cajolery in which the talk of
Johnson heading an Independent
ticket plays It's important part.
Just now the rival factions are
using the dispute between the re-
publican national committee and
Secretary of State Hughes as the
incident to test out each others
strength.
Adams Rendy For Fight.
Chairman John 7. Adams. of the
republican national committee, is
ready to fight a showdown with
Secretary of State Hughes over the
right to discuss the foreign policies
of the administration. He resents
the secretary's suppression of a re-
cent statement from the committee
denouncing the allies for CROOKED"
dealing with the United States.
Hughes. in turn. resents the state
ment of the committee as an inter-
ference with the state departments

Adams expects to call upon Pres
ident Harding within a few days to
outline the functions of the republi-
can national committee as he sees
signing unless the President should
ask it. He insists that the views
expressed in the recalled statement
were identical with those of the
party platform in 1920.
Both Hughes and Adams are

Actually it is a fight to determine
whether the republican party's for
