DAVIS REFUSES
: TO WAGE FIGHT
ON KHAN ISSUE
VIII Stick to Honesty in
Government Plea In
Campaign,
Bu United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Havng
planned to carry the fight to Presi-
dent Coolidge on the honesty in
government" John w. Davis, Dem
ocratic presidential candidate, today
waived advice of eastern leaders to
wage a vigorous campaign against
the Ku-Klux Khan.
Some Democratic strategists now
gathered here believe that Coolidge
should be Unanswered into a position
of favoring the Khan or forced to
denounce the order as vigorously as
they are urging Davis to do.
In either event they figure that
the President would be weakened
politically. If he stood pat on the
brief reference to religious tolerance
in his acceptance speech the Demo
Gratis think antiK1ansmen would con-
strue the Presidents silence on the
subject as approval Of the order.
This, they say, will be disastrous to
his campaign in the East, where anti
Khan sentiment is strong.
I'll IIlC OLl4Cl LlcIAIs q ttC4iotANAG1NACAA
of the Khan by name by Coolidge,
they pointed out, would hurt Repub-
lican chances in Indiana and Ohio,
where the Khan Is a political power.
AS matters now stand, the eastern
leaders believe that these two States
are lost to Davis anyhow, and urge
an attack on the Khan that will help
him in the East.
II Coolidge should accept the
challenge and renounce any sym
pathy with the Khan. they believe it
would give Davis far better chance
in Khan territory.
The Democratic candidate spent
the daYaat his Locust Valley home
working on the speeches he will
make on his campaign tour which
will begin Aug. 81.

 NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 5.-The cotton market was narrow today bearing all the earmarks of pre-bureau influence. Such trading as there was proved to be more of an evening up character but the general trend of values was toward firmer levels, traders having become alarmed by the lower private condition and crop estimates and particularly by the estimates of several spot firms not based on the government formulas, which are nearly a million bales lower than the indicated yields worked out according to the official method. The market opened steady and unchanged from yesterdays close and the opening of the day with October at 2365c and December at 23.75c. The general ad- vance during the greater part of the session carried October and December g to 25 points up from the the lows There was a reaction during the after noon mainly on weakness in the New York stock market but prices rallied again and the close showed. net gains for the day of to points.
