DAVIS ON VACATION

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Sena-
tor Burton X. Wheeler of Montana,
Democratic prosecutor of the SEN
ate Daugherty committee, today an
nounced his acceptance of second
place on the independent presiden-
tial ticket headed by Senator Ro-
bert M. La Toilette.
Although he previously had de-
clared he would not accept such a
designation Mr.. Wheeler yielded and
reversed his decision after he had
been urged to do so by Senator La
Toilette and by several of his prin-
cipal advisers.
A special committee from the
group of La Toilette followers in
conference here called on the Mon
tana senator yesterday and formally
rendered him the endorsement of
the conference for the vice-presi-
dency. He promised to reply to-
day and he did soon after he reach
ed his office.
1t generally had been supposed
that Mr. Wheeler had eliminated
himself from consideration but
Senator La Toilette personally ap-
pealed to him to change his mind.
Committee members were a bit at
sea as to where they would turn for
a nominee should Senator Wheeler
decline to run. Associate Justice
Brandeis of the supreme court, who
stands highly in LaFollettes estima-
ton, had let it be known that he
prefers to remain on the bench, and
several others mentioned in connec-
tion with the post had indicated they
would decline the nomination.
The national committee in addition
to the vice presidential question has
a number of pressing campaign
problems to work out today, among
them that of raising funds.

London Views on Possible

U. S. GIVES SUGGESTIONS
Americans Feel if PremierS

Will Be Success
U. S. GIVES SUGGESTIONS

LONDON, July 10 (By The Asso-
ciated Press in the
French and British views as to the
manner of dealing with possible
German defaults under the Dawes
reparations scheme is one of the per-
turbing features of the inter-allied
conference in session here. An un-
successful attempt was made yester-
day to thresh out the fundamental
differences between the two nations,
but 1t was hoped that a compromise
agreement may yet be reached.
Americans in closest touch with
the proceedings believe that IL Pre-
miers Macdonald and Herriot can
devise ways and means for enforcing
the Dawes plan to their own salts
faction there will be little difficulty
in obtaining the approval of the ex-
pert committees.
The British are striving to estab-
| lish an agent-genera1 of reparations
as a sort of grand jury for declaring
defaults. The French, on the other
hand. maintain that the authority of
the reparation commission in this re-
spect must not be impaired. Colonel
James A. Logan. Jr., the official OBJ
server for the United States has de-
clare dthat there Is no reason at this
stage of the proceedings to fear that
an agreement will not be reached
on the disputed points.
U. S. Suggestions
LONDON, July 19.-Unofiicial
American suggestions on the matter
of German defaults, which were laid
before the committee of the Inter-
allied Conference yesterday, led to
the ella boration of various alternative
formulae by the experts, especially
by the French. according to the L lily
Telegraph's diplomatic expert who
says that the American suggestions
are ascribed to Owen ID. Young,
member of the Dawes committee.
The Telegraph writer says that the
French formula was drawn up by
Count ,Peretti De La Rocca, head OF
the economic department of the
French foreign office, and comprised
four articles, the first two of which
combined parts of the French and
British proposals. The third and
fourth, however. are entirely new.
The third article, according 20
this authority, was to the effect that
in order to guarantee the service or
the proposed German loan and to
facilitate its marketing to the pub
lie, the allies declare that in the
event of sanctions being employed
following a German default they
will regard the service of the loan
as enjoying a first mortgage over
all those resources of Germany
which will fall into their possession
or under their control.
The fourth article. it is said, de-
clared that, subject to provisions OF
preceding paragraphs, all rights
now enjoyed by signatories of the
treaty of Versailles are reserved.
