HUGHES BELIEVES
DAWES PLAN SURE
Secretary, on Return, Says
Date of Ruhr Evacuation
Won't Block Execution.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 14-Secretary
of State Hughes, returning today on
the President Harding after a
visit in Europe, expressed
the belief that the Dawes reparations
report would be accepted by all the
powers concerned and would "be put
into effect very soon.''
Mr.. Hughes said that in his opinion
acceptance of the Dawes plan did
not hinge upon the date Of the
evacuation of the Rhineland, which
was reported today as having caused
a split between the German and French
representatives at the London confer
ence.
Acceptance of the report" he said,
will not hinge upon any such hypo-
thesis. Unquestionably the report will
be accepted"
Referring to dispatches stating that
newspapers Of Soviet Russia had
charged that his visit to Europe was
solely for the purpose of preventing
European countries from entering
into relations with the Russian gov
ernment, Mr.. Hughes said: II did not
discuss Russian affairs over there"
Mr.. Hughes said there was no truth
in reports that Myron T. Herrick,
American Ambassador to France, would
soon resign
Mr.. Hughes was accompanied by
Mrs. Hughes. Their return was one
month and day from the date on
which they sailed for Europe, on the
Berengaria. to attend the American
Bar Association convention in Lon
don which was in session, while the
London conference on reparations
also was in progress.
After visiting London and Paris,
Mr.. and Mrs. Hughes went to Brus-
sells and Berlin.
