Hylan Hearst Coup
 Remoued From List
 Of Democratic Fears
McAdoo, Sailing For Eu- rope, Files Pledge Of
 Support
lRY Associatad prass. ]

NEW YORK, July 12.-Several sig nificant events occurred today to draw the lightning from the charged atmos- phere in which John ". Davis has moved since he became the democratic presidential nominee.
 Most important, perhaps, was the clearcut statement of William Gibbs Me Adoo, who sailed for Europe with his family, that he would "Sive the Davis Bryan ticket cordial support" and would take an active part in the cam paign upon his return in September.
 Rumors that Mr. McAdoo contem- plated 6 bolt from the democratic par ty, and campaign for the presidency as an independent candidate, thus were definitely spiked. Further evidence of party harmony which democratic lead. CTS locally hailed with satisfaction was the report that David l.. Rockwell, who managed McAdoo's campaign for nomi- nation, would not be averse to joining the managerial staff of the Davis cam paign.
 No Coup Planned
 There also was the positive state ment of friends of William Randolph Heart and Mayor John F. Hylan that the departure of these two men with their families to California was health seeking mission. Reports of 6 Hearst Hylan coup, aimed at obstructing Da- wis chances in November were abso- lutely without foundation, said their associates.
 Mr. Davis proceeded to lay the foun- dation for his campaign in q leisurely, though thorough manner. He received

25Q,OOO IS SET
 AS LABOR QUOTA
 ER IA TOILETTE
Additional Funds To Be Raised From Public SO-
 licitatiOn, Says Kahn
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 12.-A tenta- tive program for raising $25O,OO in small subscriptions from labor organi- zations and like groups to back La Toilette presidential organization was laid out today at meeting of execu- tive committee members of the confer ence for progressive political action.
 Alexander Kahn, of New York, was elected to head the financing enterprise and it was explained that the sum would supplement the total which might be raised for the campaign by general public solicitation, through Representative Nelson of Wisconsin, who is managing the central campaign headquarters at Chicago. Senator La Toilette did not participate in the meet ing, although it was attended by off cers of. several railroad unions. Talk concerning a possible vice presidential candidate was kept hushed at the gath ering, on the ground that a large con ference in Washington, July IS, would settle the point, but it was stated with considerable positiveness that no pros poets of indorsing Governor Bryan, the democratic vice presidential candi- date would meet with the approval of La Toilette adherents. g H
 Every indication of sticking to the announced plan of making the La Fol lette candidacy itself a single issue, with tickets of presidential electors in as many states as possible, but without accompanying candidates of guberna- torial and congressional candidates, was given by those attending.

BERLIN WORRIED . BY NEW TANCLE
 IN DAWES nN
PreInier's Agreement Threatens German
 Hopes, Says Marx
(By AssOciates Press. )

5. BERLIN, July 1z. - GnanceiIor Marx, in q statement to the newspaper representatives today, declared that the hopes entertained by Germany regard ing the experts report had given way to anxiety and apprehension.
 Remarling that the German govern ment had without delay rushed forward the preliminaries needed for fulfillment of the reports, the chancellor crit icised M. Poincare's latest speech and declared that the spirit with which the Germans were actuated towards the report was one of frank and honor able understanding and plain speaking "a spirit which was resolved to re- store not only Germany, but the whole of Europe.
 Hopes Threatened
 "The London conference" said the chancellor, fought to bring Germany nearer to the realization of this aim, but many of our hopes seem to be threatened in consequence of the agree ment between Premiers Herriot and Mcdonald in Paris. If the great spirit with which we hope to carry out the experts report Is to become an accom- plished fact, the victorious nations must realize that Germany, whose economic and national existence Is at stake, must be admitted to the negotiations as a partner with equal rights.
 Germany is resolved to assume fur ther heavy burdens imposed by the ex- perts' report, which the British have recognized as being beyond the scope of the Versailles treaty, provided she sees an object in these sacrifices. The German people desire to fulfill the treaty and wish also that the Versailles treaty and Rhineland agreements shall again enter into force.
 Want National Freedom
 "We want to bring about state of affairs enabling us to reach an honor- able agreement with our former enemies. Finally, we wish to regain our national freedom and our equality with other nations. If France so strongly demands the maintenance of the Versailles treaty, she must under stand that we insist upon our rights under the treaty being preserved.
 ''The only stipulation the German government makes is that the experts report shall be carried out by all parties in accordance with letter and spirit" "
 The fate of Germany, he said, depend ed upon whether sound economies were practiced not only by Germany, but also by her oppenets. In conclu- sion, the chancellor denied tke reports that he had opposed the endeavors of foreign countries to facilitate Ger many's entry into the League of Ma tions. He declared that the conditions of Germany's entry must be that Ger many's welfare and honor were pre- served

By JOHN GREEN.

PARIS, July 12.-French poiti- cal history, as turbulent as any in the world, saw one of it's most bitter and dramastic~episodes ended today when the chamber of depu- ties voted by S09 to PIT to grant amnesty to Joseph Caillaux, for mer premier convicted of treasons
 Caillaux, a storm center in France since early in the war, is one of his country's most brilliant figures He is a financial genius and ad- mittedly there is no one better able to. cope with Frances intricate and depressed financial system than he,

 Returned To Grace
 It is one of the strange evidences
 popular fickleness that Caillaux, ], one time outlaw, has been return. steadily to the graces of the peo since the end of the war. When victory of the socialists at the Frer elections became certain, friends of
 ex-premier began a campaign for
 rehabilitation. There was an incres ing demand that he brought into the government to help straighten out his country's finances. Now that he has received legislative pardon, the mAn who was accused of dealing with the enemy while in public office probably will be made minister of finance.
 AIthough the Caillaux trial did not take place until after the war, cif- cumstance which undoubtedly saved him from facing a firing squad At dawn at Vincennes, he was accused 0f trafficking with Germany even before 1914. It was the revelations of tis politicians handiwork made by Gaston Calmette, editor of the Figaro, which induced Caillaux's wife to kill Calmette in the office of his newspaper just be- fore the outbreak of the war. She was acquitted after a sensational trial in the course of which much of her husbands secret history was revealed.
 Sent To South America
 During the hostilities Caillaux was sent on a government mission to South America. It was shown later that he was in correspondence with the Ger man military attache in Buenos Aires, the man who sent the famous "Spurlos Versenkt" telegrams. On his return to Europe, Caillaux went to Italy and there also he talked over the possi- bility of ending the war by agreement with Germany. On his arrival in
