The charge has been publicly and
of a deliberate attempt by specula-
tive interests TO compel cooperative
cotton marketing associations to
sell the cotton they are holding lat
ruinous prices"

tinued the resolution, will result in
the loss of hundreds of millions OF

JAPANESE BAN IS
 VIEWED WITH FAVOR
Coolidge Not Disposed to Strike
 Out This Measure

Washington, May S.--President Coolidge made it clear to callers here that he was heartily in favor of Jap anese exclusion, the only point wor- rying him being to obtain this with as little irritation of the Japanese peo- pie and of the Tokio government as possible. This explanation was made at the White House because of reports of efforts being made by the president to modify the action already recorded by the house and senate in adopting Asiatic exclusion sections in the immi- grafton bill. The committees are now in conference to adjust the differences in the measures approved by the two houses.
 The president is very active in att tempting to work out some solution. it was admitted, but this does not mean that he is out of harmony with the desire of congress to get Japanese exclusion into effect.

MILAN TODAY OUT
 ID DEFEAT FOLEY
Strenuously Opposes Him as Murphy'S Successor

New York, May 3.-Rumblings of dissension among members of Tam many Hall over the choice of a chief tain to succeed the late Charles F. Murphy today assumed the propor- tions Of bitter controversy. with May or Hylan leading opposition to the nomination of Surrogate James A.. Foley. son-in-iaw of Murphy and fav- orite candidate of the old guard"
 The mayor. in a formal statement not only voiced his opposition to the selection of Surrogate Foley. but also lined mp with district leaders in their fight to have one of their number chosen successor to Murphy. Surro- gate Foley is not a district leader. The mayors words were generally interpreted as on open challenge to Governor Smith and Thomas F. Foley, chief representatives of the Murphy faction.
 Announcement yesterday by Thom- as r. Foley ex-sheriff and right-hand- man to Murphy. that he considered Surrogate Foley the most likely can- didate for the Tammany leadership, elicited the mayors statement. Foley was quoted as having said that Mayor Hylan's views should be consulted, however, and that he should be asked to name favorite in case Surrogate Foley declined the chieftainship.
 'It would be grave mistake for a Surrogate to leave the bench. where he is getting salary of s17,500. to take up the non-salaried leadership of an organization" the mayor declar- ed today. "can the democracy of New York county or Tammany Hall successfully continue with such a handicap?"
 Friends of Governor Smith here made 1t plain that he would maintain "hands-off' policy, although he is a Tammany Sachem.
 The election of Murphy's successor is scheduled to be held next Wednes- day.
