The political tension In Haiti caused
by the development of conflict between
the Hoover commission and President

However, it was believed that any
possibility of disorders had been averted
The capital was calm.
Mr.. Dunn sent report by airplane
Of his efforts and those of Brig. Gen.
John H. Russell, American high COM
missioner, to clarity the situation.
Details of the commissions visit to
President Borno last Thursday, were
revealed today for the first time. The
president greeted them with the words:
What is your mission, gentlemen"
and went on to tell about "his govern
ment."
Intend to End Dictatorship.
The commission answered him with
the announcement:
I'VE intend to have the dictatorship
ended. the council of state dissolved, q
provisional government established, and
legislative elections called by the pro-
visional president. And we expect to
turn over to the people Of Haiti their
government, which they have not had
since 1915"
The president also was informed that
1t was expected later to recommend that
the resident military high commission
er be replaced by a civilian. This COM
mission left the admonition, couched in
diplomatic terms: Think it over"
The commission permitted M. Borno
to null over this" and then on Sunday
obtained from him his promise to ad-
here to the plan.

Lawrence RiChey, one of the Presidents
secretaries.
The President and Mrs. Hoover left
the White House at 1:40 to go to
All-SoulS' Unitarian Church to attend
the funeral services there and will then
be in the procession to the cemetery.
Mr.. Hoover went to his office about
9:35. He made no business engage
mentS other than to meet with his cabi-
net, which session was Immediately adj
journed out of respect for the former
President.
Later in the day the President, how
ever, held short conference with Mrs.

sistant Attorney General. He also con-
ferred separately with Kent Cooper.

AS further evidence Of their rever-
ence for Mr.. Taft, the President and
Mrs. Hoover today placed at the base
of the oil painting of this former Pres
ident a crescent wreath of laurel.
This adornment was not tied with any

the President and Mrs. Hoover feel. II
is understood that this is the first time
that a painting of former President
has been draped in such a manner.
