LONDON, July 9.-Ambassador Kel-
logg, who will represent the United
States 3t the forthcoming allied con-
ference. will find greater interest dis
played IN Americas opinion than has
been shown at any other European
conference.
Where heretofore European pro-
moters have found American OBJ
servers useful only upon occasion
during the course of the conference,
Americas representative will take a
to end. In official banking circles,
satisfaction is expressed that Amer
lea is to be represented by a man of
Mr.. Kellogg's banking experience, as
much depends upon the effect in the
United States of the financial meas
ures adopted.
Logan May Also Attend.
Mr.. Kellogg's task will consist of
advising the allies how best to in
augurate the ideas incorporated in
the Dawes plan without jeopardizing
their worth either from a practical
viewpoint or as an intangible asset
in disposing of the loan certificates.
Owing to the presence of expert
advisers attending the conferences
with allied representatives, it is likely
that Mr.. Kellogg will take Col Logan
into the meetings, providing thereby
further evidence of Americas deep
concern over the success of the
Dawes plan. British officials are
anxious that Col. Logan should give
the benefit of his intimate knowledge
of the intentions and desires of the
originators of the reparations
schemes

SOCIALISTS SCORE
KLAN, AT TER FIGHT
Condemn Efforts Ito Divide
Workmen on Racial or
Religious Lines"
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
CLEVELAND, July 9.-The Socialist
party late yesterday officially con-
demned the Ku Klux Klan by name
after the sharpest debate in the ma
tional convention that has been meet
ing here for three days, then at $40
pm. adjourned sine die.
The resolution said:
I'VE emphatically condemn the Ku
Klux Klan and every other effort to
divide the workers on racial or re-
ligious lines and to effect political
purposes by secret or terroristic
methods"
Opposition developed on the ground
that the party was injecting itself
into religious fight with which 1t
was not concerned, and that a pro-
nouncement, covering only the par
tvs stand in opposition to attempts
to divide the workers, was better
suited to a Socialist declaration.
The substitute was defeated. 10
to So. and the resolution was then
passed. Sc to Is. This represented less
than half the full registration, as
many of the delegates had departed
for their homes.
Seeks to Heal Wounds.
To assuage the feelings engendered
by the debate, Morris Hillquit, New
York, had passed an instruction to
the executive committee to circulate
a pamphlet setting forth the party's
detailed position on the subject.
f. This would have a good effect upon
not only the general public, but on
some of the delegates to this con-
vention," Hillquit said, after George
NJ. Goebel, New Jersey, who moved
the substitute, had attempted to shut
off his talk on a point of order.
$50 long as the klansmen merely
hate the Jew or the Roman Catho-
tic, or the negro, they are merely e&-
ercising a. personal privilege, Iut
when they put on their pillows tips
to intimidate voters and commit Hur-
der in opposition to the rule, for and
by the people, then it is time for
every Socialist to take the stand on
the side of civic right and liberty"
William H. Henry. Indiana, said his
state was so permeated with the
Klan that condemnation of it by the
party leaders would require a. lot of
explaining by Socialist organizers.
Miners FIJI Khan Ranks.
"The mining towns are crowded

That was the situation, on the sur

during the day and night-when the
101st ballot fell due and was put off
until today.
Many Signs of Break.
Under the surface, however, were
many portents, but only impending
developments could disclose their real
meaning. Reports circulated that
McAdoo and some of his leading ad-
visers wanted his strength to go to
Meredith, others said David Ladd
Rockwell, his campaign manager, IA
vored Chairman, Walsh. All asserted
that, in releasing his delegates, Nc
Adoo was not attempting to direct
their course to any specific column.
The Meredith boom, however, had
gained momentum while Rockwell
was passing the word of the i'm
pending letter during the ninety
ninth roll call. and during the Tooth
prominent McAdoo men were work
ing in his behalf.
Where the Smith supporters would
go. once they were satisfied McAdoo
was definitely out Of the race, was
still another question.
The eighth day of balloting. cuI-
Nminating in the longest night session
of the convention, began with drama
in the air for the first time in many
days and worked up through color
and action into the most spirited
spectacle of the spirit -quenching
week of monotonous balloting.

cess came his telegram cutting off
plans in the making to launch. an
even more vigorous drive for him at
the night session, the McAdoo-Smith
conference, the subsequent decision
of the governor to present his con-
ditional withdrawal. the long series
of conferences in the McAdoo room
while his lieutenants drove his col
umn back into a veto position, and
finally his letter to the chairman.
This major movement of the drama
was enlivened throughout with mo-
tions to adjourn, attacks on the two
thirds and unit rules and the frantic
efforts of drive commanders.

Satisfaction was expressed, how

to the main point demanded by the
council-the resumption OF the con-
troll commissions activities.
The ambassadors note informed
Germany that the cessation of con-
troll would depend entirely on the
satisfactory result of the commits
sion's work and on German COM
pliance with the five requirements
made of her previously regarding
disarmament.
The method of disarmament inspec-
ton would be determined by the in

Germans wished to offer would be
