REFUGEES FILL
LEGATION AREA
Foreign Diplomats Charge
Nati0nalists With Breach
of Faith

Peking, June 11.-(R-With Pc
king all but isolated, refugees were
thronging the legation area today.
A note of the foreign diplomats to
the Nationalists charging bad faith
in. carrying out an agreement for
the peaceful occupation was un-
answered.
Troops Of one Of the military
allies of the Nationalist cause were
in the city, but their commander-in-
chief. Governor Yen Hsi-shan of
Shansi, had decided it was not pru-
dent to come to Peking at present.
There were indications that another
military ally Of the Nationalists,
Feng Yu-Hsiang, would himself take
over control. Peking today was
practically surrounded by his troops.
They outnumbercd the Shansi forces
two to one.
Fighting was in progress to the
north of Tientsip and it was thought
probable that Feng would not ar
rive in Peking until we had occupied
Tientsin.
Bandit troops were robbing all
travellers, even those bearing diplo-
matte credentials, and highways
from the city were no longer safe
for automobile travel. Telegraphic
communication was severed. Rail
road trains were tied up in the city,
adding to the number of refugees,
Among them was the second wife
of the Emperor Kwang Hsu with
her retinue.
Rumors were rife concerning the
fate Of the 47th Mukdenite brigade
which had been policing the city
until Nationalist troops arrived. The
foreign diplomats claimed that
their safe evacuation had been
agreed to by the Nationalist gov
ernment and that this agreement
had been violated.

COOLIDGE PUZZLE
KEEPS CONVENTION
|0N FIGHTING EDGE
Nomination of Silent Cal Con-
ceded by Leaders If He
Chooses to Rum
BY FRANCIS NJ. STEPHENSON
(Associated Press Staff Writer)

Kansas City, June 11.-Republi-
can convention leaders Of many fac
tions CROPPED anxiously for contact
with President Coolidge today as
the last of those who could bring
direct word from the White House
neared the city.
The approach Of the convention
hour found Mr.. Coolidge silently
packing his baggage for a journey
into the North Woods, but still very
much in the picture here.
There were plenty of guesses,
knowing winks and innuendos in
the various headquarters, with the
wish usually father to the intima-
tion, but there was no definite word
early today from the president that
he would add to his surprise declar-
alton of last August that he did not
"choose" to run this year and his
further word to the Republican Ma
tional committee last December that
his decision must be respected.
Those seeking another word-and
they include leaders Of a signifi-
cant number of votes-scanned the
horizon hopefully today for Secre-
tary Mellon and Everett Sanders
who came almost from the steps of
the White House.
Coolidge Is Conundrum
The name of Calvin Coolidge,
hung over the convention activities
today in a question mark puzzling
many q mind.
The reports that Everett Sanders
has final pronouncement from
the White House has found recep-
tive ears and it has led those strong
est for the president to add to their
plans the mysterious "unless." These
reports, and they were backed up
by guesses of some veteran strate-
gists, had it that Mr.. Coolidge
would ask to be removed from con-
sideration by the convention before
the balloting started. Other guess
es had it that the chief executive
hoped no further word from him
would be necessary, but that he was
prepared to act if there was any
movement Of consequence on his be-
half at the outstart of the voting.
Cal Can Get It
Connecticut is reached early in
the roll call and it's solid vote for
the president followed by sizahle
block of New York's 80 votes is ad-
mitted by leaders to be the possjr
BILE starting point Of q stampede.
All hands admit the nomination is
Mr.. Coolidge's if he will permit it.
To the II votes Of Connecticut,
George Morris, of New York, has
added about 60. Some of New Jer-
sey and possibly Vermont's II
votes along with nine from Della
ware and Is from Georgia, are in
line for the president at the outset,
at least, as matters stand today.
Other New England delegations are
wondering, although New Hamp-
shire has pledged its delegation for
Secretary Hoover. Massachusetts,
uninstructed, is significantly wait
ing until almost the hour of the con-
vention to reach its decision. Add
to this the 70 votes of Pennsylvania
and some leaders see the conven-
tion deadlocked with ball rolling
for the president that might easily
crush the field.

-(AP)-Adrift on ice flocs Of the

Italia was in peril today. Radio
messages from the crew to the base

necessity Of q speedy rescue.
For days that seemed to them
endless, sixteen men Of the crew
have been making their way slowly

came down upon the ice. The
eighteen men divided into two par

currents at times drifted the floes to
the east or south carrying the men
out Of their way. At times the drift
has been to the west bringing the
men nearer to Northeast Land.
Ice Bxeakers Needod
Powerful ice breakers were needed
to rescue them. None was available
here and Captain Romanga Of the
Citta di Milano asked the Italian
minister to Norway to request the
Russian government to aid since 1t

best for battering their way through

The sealing ship Hobby today was
locked in the ice off Vertegen Hook
about 14O miles from Foyne Island
in which region the crew Of the
Italia was adrift. Aboard the vessel
were two Norwegian flyers, Captain
Riiser-Larsen and Lieutenant Luet-
zow Holm, each provided with sea-
plane. It was doubtful whether
they would be of much assistance to
the marooned explorers at present.
Captain Riiser-Larsen said that the
planes did not have space enough to
carry food for eighteen men. He
and Lieutenant Holm intended to
try and get in touch with the
Italia's crew, but the ice packed
around the Hobby prevented them
from taking off.

If T. H. Thoresen and the rest OF

in this election.
1T is fair then to draw a parallel
between the two aspirants for the
highest honors in the power of the
voters to grant. As to economic
management, Tax Commissioner
Thoresen has departed from past
traditions in that he has not en-.

IS to represent the tax commission
