Longworth Leaves Capitol

Washington, Sept. Is LPD - Ex- pecting that the senate tariff de bate will continue into November, Speaker Longworth planned today to leave Washington for his home in Cincinnati to prolong his vacd- tion another month.
 The speaker arrived yesterday from New England to spend a few hours in his office before resuming his journey,
 The house will resume it's ses- sions September 23, but no work will be transacted before October II, and the speaker will designate some member, probably Represent ative Tilson of Connecticut, the ma jority leader, to go through the tormality of converting and ad- journing every third day. Under Q resolution adopted shortly before the house adjourned for the sum- mer recess, the speaker was au- thorized to be absent during the period devoted to semi-week!y y meetings
 Plans for the time between Oc- tober If and the date the sena.n finishes with the tariff, he said, will be worked out after the members return 10 Washington in October. They already have been notified that their presence will not be necessary until October II.

BRITISH REPUD|ATE
 INVITATION RUNOR
Have Not Invited Nations to
 London Arms Farley

London, Sept. IS LPl-High British official quarters today heard with surprise reports printed in London and New York that Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald had invited Japan. France and Italy through their respective embassies to partici- pate in a five power naval confer ence in London in January It was stated the report is untrue and that no decision has been taken to issue such invitations at present.
 Visits King George
 Prime Minister Macdonald. ac- companied by his daughter Ishbcl. left No. 10 Downing street this morning by automobile 10 visit King George and Queen Mary at their country estate at Sandringham. Norfolk. The prime minister ex- poets to return to London tomorrow night.
 No official confirmation was avail able Of reports that London will fi- nally be chosen as the scene of a five power conference. but it was gener- ally believed here that since much of the spade work has been done in England, London would likely le the most central place to suggest for such a meeting. Much depends on the attitude of France, Italy and Japan and it already has been sug- gested that France favors some neutral city in the event Of q meet ing being called.

 In view of the great importance of the mission and the necessity for MT. MaCDorald to return to Lon- don as quickly as possible to attend parliament, it is likely that ha will be able to accept but very few of the invitations which have ar rived at the British embassy in Washington from all parts Of the United States extending American hospitality to the visitor and re- questing him to make speeches or short visits 10 numerous places.
 His tentative itinerary calls for almost immediate departure for Washington after arriving in New York on the liner Berengaria Octo- Der 4. After his visit there he is expected to stop in Philadelphia for a luncheon with physicians who at tended him during his serious ill., ness on his last visit to the United States. Then ho will proceed to Canada and sail from the Dominion for England.

Battle of Conventions Opens Over
 Approaching Visit of Macdonald

Washington, Sept. IS (UP)-The battle is' on today to determine whether Premier MacDonald's visit to Washington shall be marked by silk hat dignity or slouch hat com fort. He is to arrive here Friday, October 4.
 The slouch hat party looks like c winner. Within the next two or three days President Hoover must decide whether Macdonald is to spin from function to function during three crowded days or bow himself out of the picture. soon after arrival here. for a weekend at the Hoover camp on the hcadwaters of the Rapidan.
 Neither Like Pomp
 Neither the president nor the pre- mier is fond of formal parading. If only their preferences had to be con suited, the program would not be in doubt for q moment. But convention is stern in such matters as official visits between important personages. Tentatives plans already are being made for dinner at the White House and another at the British embassy. And there is talk of a re- ception at which Washington society would meet the premier.
 That is the program of convention. There are hints the president has other plans in mind. Secretary of State Stimson promised that Mir. Hoover would provide unique en- tertainment for his visitor The round of functions mentioned in the fore going would not be unique. Half the statesmen of the world have con- tracted mild indigestion and ill humor from just such programs.
 Privacy at Camp Certain
 But 10 escort Macdonald out of Washington Saturday. give him a thorough dusting on the unpaved stretches of the road into the moun- tains and then jounce him up the precipitous last lap of the journey to the presidential camp properly could be described as unique. There are dams to be built. hubblinG waters to contemplate and. most of all, bomb proof privacy at the head water of the Rapidan.
 The suspicion is growing in Wash ington that Mr. Hoover plans such maneuver. Secretary of State Stim- son probably would counsel in favor of the mountain camp if for no other hcason than that he har- hor vast antipathy to the long-tailcd. silk natter habiliments of formal diplomacy.
 Arriving here on the eve of a weekend and dCparting Monday. Oct. T. the promier'S schedule would exactly fit the presidents in his movements to and from his camp.
 To Be Meet In New York
 Secretary of State StimSon or un- dcrseCretary Cotton will meet Mir. Macdonald in New York. It would be possible but not customary for the president to meet the train here. If the premier is to stop at the Brit ish embassy Mir. Hoover might over ride tradition to repay Macdonald z White House call by appearing for a few moments at the embassy.

President Coolidge honored Queen Marie of Roumania in that manner when she came here.
 If the visitor becomes White House guest, there would be no need to exchange calls. Conventional pro cedure would be for the premier to call at the White House and return to the embassy where Secretary or State Stimson would repay the call in behalf of the president.
 Friday night would be open for q White House or embassy dinner to be followed by a reception. By crowding things a bit. it would be possible to leave for the mountains Saturday. Monday would be time for the premier 10 accept the expected invitation 10 visit congress.
