More Draft Coolidge
: Talk Is Heard AS
Race Is Started

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-P-The
Ohio situation, with its rapidly de-
veloping clash between Secretary
Hoover and Senator Willis for con
troll of the states convention dele
CATION, is setting the pace in early
republican politics, followed closely
by increasing discussion Of b draft
Coolidge" movement.
Ohio's republican national commit
teeman, Maurice Maschke, has joined
those who are advocating the nomin-
alton of Herbert Hoover, and has
challenged Senator Willis TO make
public any correspondence that would
show he has acted in bad faith in
favoring the cabinet member over
the senator.
Willis issued a statemeO dcclar-
ing Maschke had given him This cor
dial assurance of support" and add
ed that if the committeeman as
sumes that his very surprising
course in this matter will change my
attitude, he is mistaken" The SEN
ator said he was surprised at
Maschke's joining Walter I. Brown,
assistant secretary Of commerce and
a leader in the Hoover movement, in
the endeavor to split the Ohio dele
CATION and cause fractional differences
in Ohio which will bring about Sc
rious trouble in the future"
The contest between the two candi-
dates will be carried to every poll
ing place in Ohio, managers on both
sides declaring full states of dele
gates will be presented in every dis
trict.
From Albany, N. ", where Gov
ernor AL Smith watches efforts of his
friends to bring him the democratic
nomination, has come a new demand
for the denomination Of Presiden.
Coolidge. 1t was voiced by Charles

mittseman for New York, who spoke
at a Lincoln Day dinner and devoted
much time to comparing Lincoln and

at the morning session of the COM

The resignation of the president Of
the Argentine delegation would, ac-
cording to rumor, have followed cate
gorical orders last night from the
government mt Buenos Aires TO sign
the Pan-American union convention.

Pueyrredon, Argentine delegate,
which has been indicated to be az
odds with that Of his government,
today continued 10 create a stir in the
Pan-American conference.
DR.. Puerredon remained firm in his
refusal to sign any convention TO
regulate the activities Of the Pan
American union which did not con-
tain direct reference to the necessity
Of lowering excessive tariff barriers.
Dispatches from Buenos Aires said
the Argentine government al under
stood TO favor a less intransigeant
stand.
Delegates regarded the issue as
vital to the success Of the Pan-Amer-
lean conference. Two schemes were
introduced to seek the agreement OF
the Argentine government wen If its
delegate here refused to sign a con
vention.
The Pan-American union commit
tee had before IL the last article OF
the convention which concerned the
formalities Of ratification 9f that
document. DIR. Jacobo Narela OF
Uruguay suggested that this be "a
worded as to permit the agreement
TO 20 before the various ~parliaments
for ratification even if not signed
BY the delegates. He proposed thai
| the president Of the conference might
be allowed to send certified copies
or the agreement directly TO tn'
governments interested.
Another suggestion was that the
article be so worded as to allow I'D
herence to the convention at some
later date by the governments whose
delegates had not signed it at Ia
vana.
