(By Dispatch A. P. Wire)

DENVER, Sept. %. - Thomas An

commission, this afternoon was re-
elected chairman of the democratic
state central committee at a meeting
of the committee and the partys can
didates at state headquarters here.
At the same time Mrs. Nina Weiss

chairman, and Charles M. White,
secretary of the committee for the
last two years, was renamed for that
position.
With the selection of the partys s
directing heads, subcommittee was
named to draft tentative platform
for. the party at the November cleo
ton. Under the law this must be
completed within five days from next
Tuesday 1t was the concensus of
opinion that the platform should be
brief, but at the same time empha-
tic. In the early session during the
afternoon, it was freely expressed
that no reference was necessary to
the Ku Klux Klan question, in view
Of the elimination of that organiza-
tion as political factor by the ac-
tion of the electorate at the primary.

troll under the present cotton law

can be undertaken. Complaints have
been made to the secretary by mem
bers of congress and others that
future trading on certain of the cot
ton exchanges had been the subject
to manipulation to the detriment OF
the cotton growers and action to
correct the condition was asked.
The secretary said he was awar~
of the situation and had repeatedly
condemned manipulation in the futures
market for agricultural products. IN
case of grain, he said, the grant
futures act has been able to deal
effectively with situations somewhat
comparable to these alleged to exist,
in the cotton market. but the present
cotton statute does not give him
authority to inquire formally into
the subject of the complaint.

American Entry
Into World Court
Is Complicated
(hy pispatcn A. r. svirsl

I a. :.
WASHINGTON, Sept 23. - American
entry into the world court will have
to be reconsidered by the senate in the
Judgment of a number of informed Of
ficials in the capital if the member
powers adopt the recommendations sub
mitted to them by the Geneva advisory
conference on the American reserva-
tions.
In the absence of official advceS
from Geneva, any authorized expression
Of views was lacking, but an under
current of feeling was discernble that
the whole question of American par
ticipation in the work of the court had
been greatly complicated,
Initiative now rests with the powers
participating in the Geneva discussion
as the report of the conference, as
adopted today, is merely of an advisory
character. 1t recommends to the pow
ers formula of reply to the inquiry of
the washington government as to
American signature of the
world court protocol on the basis of the
reservation attached by the senate
would Be satisfactory. The powers are
not committed to accept the advice of
the Geneva delegates, each being free
to formulate whatever reply to Wash
ington it deems best, and the next move
expected is the decision of the individ-
ual powers on the nature Of these re-
plies.
Should the powers accept the ad-
vice of the Geneva gathering and
transmit Identical replies holding that
American signature of a supplemental
protocol, as well as of the original
protocol, was necessary, it is said in
some quarters that President Coolidge
must of necessity submit the new
protocol drafted at Geneva to the
senate if he believed it desirable that
the United States enter the court on
that basis.
These observers say he would be
without authority to exchange rati-
fications without further advice and
of the senate, but whether
the administration would take that
course or merely drop the whole
matter was question on which no
official cared to advance a predic-
ton.
However, there apparently was no
doubt in any quarter that the sup 1
Elemental protocol, if submitted to
the senate, would mark a renewal of
the whole argument as to American
entry into the court and defer in {

RESERVATIONS ACCEPTED.
(By Dispatch A. r. Wire)

GENEVA, Sept. 2S. A committee
report concerning acceptance of the
American reservations to membership
in the world court today was accept
ed by a delegate conference, after
which that hAdy adjourned.
AS a result of the adoption of the
report, the United States will be in
vited to participate in the drawing
up of a special protocol, which will
translate the five American reserva-
tions into the language of the court
and the covenant of the league Of
nations. After adjournment the dele
gates began signing the final act
embodying draft of the protocol
which will be forwarded to Wash
ington, both in behalf of the confer
cnce and the individual states in
volved.
The protocol was finally agreed
upon, after considerable debate, and
will give the right to the powers IN
the court to withdraw their approval
of American reservations if they see
fit later.
