PERU-CH|LE ACCORD
|SBEL|EvED NEAR
Resumption of Relations Seen
as elimination of Work
Begun at Havana.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Restoration of diplomatic relations be-
tween Chile and Peru appeared to be
Immediately impending today despite
State Department refusal to comment
on published reports to that effect.
The official silence was construed as
indicating that formal communications
from the two Latin American capitals
disclosing the success Of negotiations for
resumption of friendly relations severed
years ago as a result of the Tacna- AFRICA
dispute were still awaited. That Secre-
tary Kellogg will find it desirable to ex-
press his congratulations when these
messages do come to hand, however. Is
not to be doubted.
Began at Havana.
The rapprochement negotiations began
between Peruvian and Chilean delegates
to the Pan-American Conference at
Havana. They have been foStered by
Secretary kellogg through the respective
diplomatic representatives Of the two
countries here and also through Amerl-
can diplomats at the interested capitals.
The project does not include. however,
any effort to solve the Tacna-Arica dis
nute itself as a Fart of the interchange
bringing about restoration of diplomatic
relations.
Both Chilean and Peruvian diplomats
mere and United States officials feel, re-
eardless of the necessity for ignoring
the Tacna- africa dispute in attempting
to heal the diplomatic breach between
Lima and Santiago. that long stride
toward ultimate friendly adjustment OF
the Tacna- AFRICA problem will have been
taken If ordinary channels OF diplomatic
intercourse are reopened.
Look for accord.
They believe it will not be long in
that event, until a settlement plan sat
isfactory to the national pride OF eacn
party to the territorial dispute will flow
out of formal or informal friendly in
tercourse to which renewed diplomatic
relations would open the way
Such an eventuality, in addition, would
relieve President Coolidge and America
Of embarrassments resulting from the
deadlock over attempted arbitration OF
the Tacna AFRICA question. 1t is for that
reason, in addition to his desire to
leave no stone unturned in an effort to
clear away one of the most serious
causes OF international discord in the
Western Hemisphere. that Secretary
kellogg has been exerting his influence
tireleSsly since the Havana conference to
aid nationals of the two countries who
initiated the diplomatic rapprochement
movement.

fog be absent the day they take on,

former instance they plan northeast

PRESIDENTS PLANS
STIR SPECULATION
Date for Accepting Hoover
Resignation and Method
Remain Unfixed.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.
stan Correspondent OF The Star.

CEDAR ISLAND LODGE, BRULE
RIVER, Wis, July l.--Just when
President Coolidge viii formally accept
the resignation of Herbert Hoover as
Secretary of Commerce so as to permit
the latter to give his undivided atten-
ton to his presidential campaign Is
already calling for considerable specu-
lation at the Summer capital.
when Mr.. Coolidge let 1t be known
Yesterday that he had definitely made
ND his mind concerning the request
made several days ago by Secretary
Hoover 10 be relieved as head Of the
Commerce Department. he did so with
noticeable poSitiyeneSs, but he gave no
mixing of when he intends 10 act. 1t
is understood the President Will not
determine this until after he has talked
with the Republican nominee on MS
visit here next Monday,
Impressions gained from the PTeSi-
dents associates here are to the effect
that when the President does formally
accept the resignation he Will select
an opportune moment and VIII accom-
pany the announcement with glowing
tribute 10 Mr. Hoover, which Will not
only serve as a personal compliment TO
the latter, but also as part OF the
Presidents contribution TO the CAM
psign.
II is suggested that this tribute very
Nkelv will take the form OF a public
letter. in which the President will re-
view Secretary Hoover's service during
nearly eight years he has been at the
head of the Department of Commerce
Great interest in this section is being
shown in Secretary Hoover's coming TO
the North woods. even If only for few
hours. He is fairly well known here
and the people are eager TO stage
demonstration in his honor.
The President remained away from
his Office today TO enjoy another ful

.HOyT DENIES GIRL
CAUSED OCEAN DIVE
Man Who Leaped From Ship
Declares Action Was Not
Taken on Dare"

Morton Hoyt, who jumped from the
steamship Rochamoeau into the At
lantic last Friday night to settle an
argument, today was repentant young
man, He said he realized 1t was fool
stunt" and hopes people VIII forget
about 1t.
In his room at the Mayflower Hotel
he denied that he had made the leap
because Miss Elsie Ekengren, 17-year-
old daughter of the late Swedish Min
lister to the United States, dared him
to. He said he believed Miss Ekengren
had told ships reporters that to justify
his action.
Mentions Argument.
What really happened, said Hoyt. was
that a group of people on the deck
were arguing about the chances of be-
ing rescued If somebody fell overheard.
Some said the ship wouldn't stop, others
that the hypothetical man overheard
would drown before aid could reach
him, and still others that he would never
be located. Hoyt insisted that on a
clear night there would be no danger.
Somebody said something about his
being willing to try it ''if'' it were clear.
ITS clear enough" Hoyt said, and
walked to the rail and dived in.
He said he soon realized his danger
when he saw the ship slipping away
into thickening fog His repentance
was immediate. He began floating on
his back, hoping desperately that he
would be picked up. An officer Of the
ship picked him up half mile behind
the vessel.
Hoyt said he was pretty tired, out
not i'll. as a result of his swim. He
stayed in the ships hospital because
he didn't want to face the people on
the ship, he said. When the Rocham-
beau locked in New York yesterday he
eluded ship reporters and caught a
train for Washington.
Couple Met on Ship.
His explanation was given, he said,
to clear Miss Ekengren of any reSpUn-
sibility for his stunt. She was in the
group on deck when he jumped and
may have said something in joking
way" but there was nothing that he
construed as a dare, he insisted.
Hoyt and Miss Ekengren met on the
Rochambeau. He said he didn't know
whether she was In Washington or not
