 President Cosgrave attended the con- ference as representative of the Free State, Lord Londonderry represented the Ulster premier, Sir James Craig, who was prevented from attending by illness.
 May Name Representatives
 When Britain made peace with Ire land, and granted her dominion status, the treaty provided for commission to settle the boundary controversy, involv- ing three Irish counties, between the north and south. Ulster, in declining so far to appoint members of the commits sion, has precipitated the present crisis. Ulster men said. today, however, that they were ready to name a representa- tive to the commission whenever they received assurances that the Free State merely desires rectification of the north ern boundary and does not desire to an- mex large sections of Ulster.

STANLEY LEADS
 IN KENTUCKY
Langley Also To The Fore In Primary
 Poll
(By Associated Press. }

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Aug. 2.-Unof- ficial returns from 96 out of Kentucky s 12O counties at Il o'clock tonight gave United States Senator A. 0. Stanley lead of S,579 votes over John Junior Howes of Carrollton, his opponent iu today's statewide primary for demo- cratic nomination to the Senate, the Louisville Courier Journal says.
 Senator Stanley's total was given as 57,T28 and Howes' as 49,14S. The re- publican candidates for senatorial nomi- nation had receivel from the same counties totals of 23,76S for Fred M. Sackett, Louisville, and. 11,O5S for B, ]. Bethurum, Lexington.
 Further returns from the Tenth dis trict, although still falling short con- siderably of complete tallies, increased the lead of Congressman John W. Langley of Pikeville. These figures will not be greatly changed by later infor- nation, the newspaper said its dis patches indicated.
 All congressman seeking reelection apparently were resting on majorities or pluralities safe enough to make nomination probable, the Courier Jour nal said. The congressional incumbents whose nomination was contested by op- ponents within the party include R. Y. Thomas, democrat, Central City; Mau- rice H. Thatcher, republican, Louis vile; Fred NJ. Vinson, democrat, Louisa, Langley, J. M. Robinson, re- publican, Barbourville.

 stop of the transatlantic route, and Lieutenant Lowell H. Smith and his colleague Lieutenant Leigh Wade, with their mechanics, still at Houton Bay, Kirkwall, forced to return by the enemy of airmen, fog.
 Lieutenants Smith and Wade were keenly depressed tonight that such ill fortune should have befalIen them so quickly after their European jump off, before they had time to understand the hardships' of the s'pea-soupers" which frequently are treacherous in the north Atlantic.
 This is only the second time the fliers have become separated since they lost their leaders, Major Frederick l.. Mar tin, in Alaska, in the early stages of the flight. The other occasion was in the difficult passage over the China Sea.
 The reports received aboard the Richmond this morning from the pa trolling vessels raised the fliers' hopes that their course to Hornafjord was clear of fog. Passing over the advice of local fishermen, who suggested fogs north of the Orkneys, they raised their anchors and skipped out of Houton Bay. First III Luck
 The first ill luck was the absence of wind in Scapa Flow just outside the hay. They lost half an hour before Nelson and Wade were able to pull theiR floats from the water Smith failed for more than an hour to get free from the water, and finally, he signalled his compA nions to come to his assistance. Skilfully maDoeuysring his machine, Wade dropped four times in front of Smith, attempting to make the wing from his propeller raise the water-tied plane.
 At the fifth attempt Wade succeeded in making sufficient swells to loosen Smiths plane. Then all three airplanes made, a belated start for their jump to Iceland. They headed for the open sea at the Bay of Skaill and followed the coast northwest to Birsay where they ran into heavy fog which obscured their path from the top of water up to a distance of 3,00O feet. They were trapped in the center of this fog.
 Nelson and Wade, following closely after Smith, made the turn eastward and came to an open space. They con tinued northward, but shortly were trapped by the fog which, however, had a ceiling some 500 feet above the water.
 Wade, giving a description of this second trap, said that as soon as the planes hit 'the thick center of the fog, they got close together. For time a distance of only about so feet separated them, he said. They signalled each other compass readings drifts and other bear ings. Smith hesitated to turn aside after once making the getaway, but it soon became apparent that to combat the fog, which covered hundreds of miles of the ocean, would be useless. It also would have made it necessary for

 MAIL PILOT DEATH
Blanchfield Killed When Honor

RENO, Nev., Aug. "A coroner's jury will determine how William F. Blanchfield, air mail pilot, met his death yesterday afternoon. But the men of the service know that Big Bilr' lost his life paying his last respects to a buddy" one of the men who work on the ground, but who are entrusted with keeping the planes in perfect order.
 SThey know, too, that trick of the wind, when Blanchfeld was flying over a Reno cemetery to drop a wreath on the open grave, as mourners stood above the flag-draped coffin, caught the craft as the pilot turned for the closing act in the funeral services and tipped it. The plans went into a nose dive and burst into flames on hitting tele- phone wires. 4 house by which. it landed also was destroyed by fire.

 Well, do you think the childish phantasies of Tom Sawyer and 'Huck' and their cruel treatment of poor old Jim indicated criminalistic tendenk cies?' asked Mir. Grove.
 The doctor was amused by the lues- tion, finally saying that his recollec- tion of Tom and 'Huck' was very vague and that anyway they were literally fictions," who perhaps, had never existed.
 Clarence Darrow. chief of counsel for the defense, announced late today that Leopold and Loeb would not be called in their own defense.
 Haven't they talked enough ?" countered the veteran attorney.
 Mir. .Darrow said Dr: William Healy, of Boston, And Dr. Bernard Glueck, of New York, in turn would be the next witnesses called by the defense. He said he thought the defense would not take much longer than next week. The young defendants were unusually silent and serious today and their whisperd convrsations and smiles were few.

The governor will not designate the day in Wisconsin, it was said. ""'
 Mir. Blaines attitude was continued m a communication to Major General Harry c. Hale, commander of the Sixth army corps area, Chicago, by Adiutant General Ralph NJ. Immell, at the go7er- nor's direction.
 "1t is inadvisable for the American government through propaganda and demonstration, to stimulate a national military movement the statement de- clared, holding that a patriotic demon stration in Wisconsin is unnecessary and that it would be better to hold a demonstration that would lead the way Tor foreign nations for universal peace ?
 The Wisconsin national guard will participate in the demonstration only on the call of the president, issued un- der the constitutional authority in a national emergency, the statement said.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-Nathan Leopold, JF., has made his plans for three months of work in case the court hearing in progress here before Judge John R. Caverly re- suits in a death sentence for him and Richard Leob, confessed kid napers and slayers of Robert Franks.
 Part of his plans were revealed today by Dr. William A. White, Washington alienist for the defense in the court proceedings. and other plans were shown in letters written to a fellow prisoner.
 Anticipating the time between passing of sentence and execution at three months, Dr. White told the court that Leopold. planned first to write down ten riddles to be placed in a safe deposit box after which he intended to appoint a commission of scientists to try to get into touch with him after death. Dr. White said Leopold did

 'Any different in this respect from any other criminal?" asked Mir. Grove.
 That is another of your vague terms" retorted Dr. White. "I can't talk about any other or every other criminal. I don't know them all and a criminal is not an entity to be clearly defined"
 Dr. White reiterated that whether Loeb could have avoided the crime was ''an unanswerable type of question" that Dickie knew intellectually what was against the law, but had DO ade- quate feeling toward it's moral error.
 But he did have sufficient capacity to refrain from killing" persisted Mir. Grove.
 Defense Upheld
 'I don't know" said the expert. Mir. Grove asked about Loeb's split per sonality," and tried to get the doctor to say whether he is afflicted with dementia praecox. Objections switch ed the questioning away from the sub ject and throughout the quizzing Judge Caverly upheld the defense in barring any mention of insanity" as applied to the defendants. .,

STAND OF BRYAN CALLED BLUNDER BY JAMES A. REED Would Prefer Pershing's Judgment On Defense
 Day, Says Senator AID IS PLEDGED
 BY 26 SOCIETIES Many Patriotic Organiza- tions Will CO- Operate
 With War Dept.

sg KANSAS. CITY, Aug. 2.-Re- fusal of Governor Bryan of Ne braska, and other state officials to cooperate in the national Defense day program, as announced by President Coolidge, was charac- terized as a "serious blunder" by United States Senator James A. Reed, democrat, Missouri, in a statement issued here tonight. The senator said he would prefer to accept the judgment of General Pershing to that of Governor Bryan, ct al," as to any military manuever.
 Senator Reed said it would appear to the onlooker individual that the ''pre- war pacifism has joined hands with political pettifoggery." He declared that the real sower of the seeds of war is the creature who goes, about crying: Peace, peace when there is no peace and that the pretense that preparedness will create a lust for blood is ''the limit of absurdity,"
 Attack Is Possible
 Every citizen possessing common sense," Senator Reeds statement con- tinued, knows that the time may come when a great power or combination of great powers may attack the United States.
 ''The sole purpose of the defense day program is to develop the best possi- ble plan for the mobilization of our re- sources, so that nations will hesitate to attack us.
 ''The program may be as full of er- TOTS as an egg is of meat, the very object of the experiment is to discover these errors in advance, instead of wait ing to learn them on fields strewn thick with the corpses of American boys"
 Senator Reed declared that prepar- edness is a relative term and pointed out that a condition which constitutes complete preparedness against a small power may be gross unpreparedness against a great power or combination of great powers.
 For more than 50 years" his state ment continued, 'the United States has been in a state of preparedness against Mexico and all of the South American countries. As to them her power was, and is, irresistible. She could within 90 days have, crushed any or all of them.
 No Temptation
 Nevertheless, the possession of this power was no temptation to move against them. On the contrary. the fact of our dominance and their weak ness led us to assume benevolent .pro- tectorship over them, a policy which we would never have assumed had they occupied positions of dangerous rivalry.
 9''It is plain therefore that the pos session by America of power has never led to a policy of aggression.
 The claim that by placing ourselves in position where attack will certain ly be repelled we thereby invite attack, borders on the idiotic. It answers it. self"

 Narrowly Avoids
 Smith was soon lost from the sight of his followers and then Wade saw Nelson make q quick drop through "a hole in the fog to the ceilinged space between the water and the fog. In turn ing to follow Nelson's example, Wade found himself only ten feet above an- other plane which he narrowly avoided hitting. Stacking quickly, he made out through the mist Smiths plane. Smith then signalled him that they would have to give up today's flight. z
 The two aviators again turned the noses of their planes eastward. Not finding Nelson, Smith ordered Wade by the simple semaphore direction, boat" to hunt for the cruiser Richmond which had been directed to follow in their wake. Wade circled near the cliffs on the bay of Skaill, where it was esti- mated the boat would be, but the fog which also covered this area would not permit communication between things aerial and those below.
 Wade picked up Smith near Strom- ness and they flew to Kirkwall, arriv- ing about Ii 20 a. m.
 The feat Of Lieutenant Nelson in reaching Iceland is hailed as a great achievement by his fellow fliers and army ard navy officers here. Separated from the others in the fog he did not know theif fate for hours, while his fate also was unknown until he reported to the destroyer Billingsley on station 25 miles west of the Fargoe Islands.
 When Nelson and Harding picked up the destroyer they dropped a message to the Billingsley's deck saying: 'If planes and 3 have passed blow two blasts on whistle; if not blow one."
 The destroyer responded with a single blast and the fliers with half the journey completed, proceeded. There were anxious hours on board the flag ship Richmond on the patrol squadron when news was received from Major Davidson, who remainded in the Ork- neys, that Smith and Wade had re- turned and Nelson was missing. The cruiser proceeded at a 20-knot pace to search for the plane.

GERMAN DOORS MAY BE CLOSED
 ON |. s. WHEAT.
Price Increase May Cause TeutOns To Turn To
 Argentine
By ERIC KEYSER (By Leased Wire to Age Herald1


 BERLIN, Aug 2.-The recent spec tacular rises in the price of American wheat threaten to close the German market to wheat imports from the Unit ed States, despite the' demand in this country.
 While the American upward move ment has caused some sympathetic in- crease here, the general market tend ency is rather to support the German price tone than to cause any tremen- dous gains. The fact that the Ger man prices are still under the Ameri- can figures is tending to keep Ameri- can wheat out and if the disparity con- tinues Germany's doors may be shut completely to wheat purchases from the United States, despite the fact that Germany needs around two million tons year to fill her own granaries.
 German Prices Lower
 The latest quotation on American wheat here is 257 marks ton, as compared with the German price of 190 marks. American rye is quoted at 173 marks and German at 135.. The gTan- aries still contain much wheat hoarded from last years crop. As the German market is not absorbing all this re- serve, exporters are beginning to make shipments abroad.
 The prospect of protective tariffs be- ing adopted on German grain also has helped to raise the domestic prices, al- though the tendency in government circles at present is to depart from a protective customs policy. It is doubt full whether the coming session of the reichstag will settle the question, as that body probably will do no more than dispose of the Dawes report.
 , May Turn To Argentine
 While it is anticipated that the Arr genuine wheat market will react to the American price increases, it is believed here that Germany will be able to buy wheat from the United States. For that reason, it may be that Germany will import more wheat from Argen. tina than from North America. In this respect she would be following the ex. ample of Austria, which has found that Argentine wheat, even with the freight costs, is cheaper than to buy from Hungary.
 An official of the food ministry, asked concerning the effect of Ameri- can prices on the German market, ex- plained:
 ''The American boom has had some effect on the German market, but more as a support than as directly forcing prices to the sky"
