A. B. c. P. nations, Argentina, Brazil,
Chile and Peru, late today sent tele-
gram to the League of Nations reject
ing a proffered mandate to serve as
meditators in the Gran Chaco war be-
tween Bolivia and Paraguay.
The message was sent after two
and-one-half hour conference between
Afranio de Mellofranco, Brazilian for
eign minister. and representatives OF
the other countries.
The decision was reached after two
months devoted to attempts to reach a
preliminary formula acceptable to both
belligerents. The message to the
League said the A. B. c. P. had ex-
pended the utmost effort to harmonize
the viewpoints of Paraguay and Bolivia
and expressed the view it was useless
to proceed farther.
Informed circles expressed doubt the
A. B. c. p, which tried some months
ago to bring about a settlement Of the
Gran Chaco controversy, was likely
again to advance peace overtures.
These circles believed the Council Of the
League would begin its efforts anew.

CUP
WON BY REFS BOAT
Ell Lagarto Captures Event
for Second Time in
Three Years.

In what may be her last great race,
the 11-year-old Ell Lagarto yesterday
won the Presidents Cup for the sec
ond time in three years, after pre-
viously having captured every prize
awarded this year for boats in her
class.
George c. Refs, owner and veteran
race driver of the great old boat of
Gold Cup fame, clinched the cup
despite protest by Horace C. Dodge,
which was upheld by the Racing Com
mittee. This took first place in the
final heat away from Refs, who had
captured two heats and apparently was
an easy winner in the final heat. As
a result, he was relegated to second
place in the last heat, but won the
cup on point standing.
Refs belief that the FL Lagarto may
be through in the big time is believed
to have been strengthened by the ex-
cellent showing made by Ethyl
III. owned by John D. Shibe of Phila-
delphia, in the second heat. Before
being forced out by broken oil pump
on the beginning of the final lap, the
Shibe boat had established an all-time
lap record of 60.81 miles per hour
on the third lap and repeated it on
the fourth. She was far ahead of the
field, leading Refs boat by more than
a mile, when misfortune overlook her
Refs held the old lap speed record OF
5o.108 miles per hour.
Shibe's Boat a Conner.
Shike's boat is regarded as too tenn
peramental at present, but it is held
likely she will be improved during the
Winter and will set new standard in
Gold Cup racing next year. She got
off to a bad start in the first heat
Friday, and although she was in last
place at the end Of the first lap. she
forged ahead to third place at the fin
ish. When working well and in capa-
BILE hands, Ethyl Ruth III easily out
classes every Gold Cup boat now in

"El Lagarto is getting DID," Refs said
II don't mean that she is in danger of
falling apart, but she is showing the
effects of age and hard racing. She
is developing a tendency to weave
although she now has three-ply outer
skin. and a malformation Of even as
much as an eighth of an inch in the

REVOLT FOR M'KEE
Tiger Leaders Put Hope in
Holding Manhattan and
Brooklyn.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 30.-Tam-
many Hall, disturbed by the reported
desertion Of seven district leaders to
Joseph Mckee, independent Democratic
mayoralty candidate, today began an
intensive drive to hold its organization
in line.
In Tammany quarters, the belief was
expressed that Mayor John P. O'Brien
can defeat Mckee and Fiorello H. La
Guardia, fusion nominee, If its Man
haitian organization can be held intact
and desertions in Brooklyn can be
blocked.
It was reported in Tammany that
remnants Of the bloc that supported
Edward J. Ahearn against John F..
Curry for the leadership four years ago
were ready to switch to Mckee. The
revolt against John H. McCooey. Brook
lyn leader, has been out in the open for
several weeks.
Undercover Backing.
The tactics of the district leaders re-
ported to be drifting to Mckee were
said to be the same as pursued in the
primary contest for controller. Frank
backing of some Tammany district
leaders, defeated the candidate selected
by McCooey and supported by Curry.
In Brooklyn. three unsuccessful anti
organization candidates who polled large
votes in the primary-Representa
Loring NJ. Black, AsSemblyman Jerome
G. Ambro and DR.. William Lathrop
Love-were expected to campaign
actively for Mckee.
It was into these~kwo heavily popu-
lated boroughs that Mckee, former
acting mayor and former president OF
the board of aldermen. carried his cam
paign in announcing his candidacy. He
assailed the leadership of both Curry
and McCooey.
Mckee Plans Campaign.
McKee's campaign is expected to get
under way on Monday after confer
ences over the week end with Edward
is to announce details of his campaign.
Current interest in the Mckee candi-
dacy centered around the possibility he
would head complete ticket. He is
already assured Of the backing of M.
Maldwin Fertig, seeking election as
president of the board of aldermen.
and John J. Lyons, running for borough
president Of the Bronx.
Denouncing Mckee as a decoy to di-
vert votes from the anti-Tammany
candidates, the fusionists were .prepar-
ing to launch the La Guardia campaign
formally at a mass meeting Monday
night.
Seabury Blast Expected.
Samuel Seabury, master mind of the
fusion forces, was looked to by La
Guardia's hackers to aim another blast
at McKee's candidacy. He has already
indicated the fusion strategy by charg-
ing McKee's entrance was designed to
split the anti -Tammany vote.
Meanwhile. w. Kingsland Macy, Re
publican State chairman, attacked Nc
KEGS "sportsmanship" and termed him
"a chiseler."
'Mr. Mckee, or some one for him,
has chosen to chiSel in, and the degree
of his sportsmanship, and theirs. must
be appraised accordingly" said Macy.
"In my opinion, the desperate at
tacks OF Tammany Hall and the devious
manoeuverings of its assistants to en-
compass the defeat Of La Guardia are
tribute to the outstanding quality Of
his candidacy. clear indication that
Tammany really fears him..

NEW PRICE FIXING
BASIS T0BE ASKED
Farm Administration Doubts
Benefits to Growers in
Proposed Layout.

Modification of the price-fxing pro-
visions of the retail code will be de-
manded of the NJ R. A. by the Farm
Administration unless they are elimi-
mated or changed substantially by Hugh
S. johnson.
This was disclosed last night by a
high authority in the Farm Admins
tration, which already has slated for
rejection minimum mark-up provisions
of a code for the food and grocery
branch of the retail industry. This
branch is subject to the jurisdiction OF
the farm unit and hearing on its
code has been set for October 9.
The basis for the Farm Administra-
tion's protest will be the recent ten
dency of prices farmers pay to outdis-
tance prices received by farmers. This
tendency has been so marked in the
last 80 days that Government figures
show farm purchasing power has de-
creased rather than increased. COM
pared with the pre-war period 1909 to
1914.
Designed to Stabilize Prices.
The retail code before the N. R. A.,
affecting distribution fields outside OF
food and groceries, is designed to sta
bilize prices by prohibiting retailers
from selling at less than wholesale cost
plus 10 per cent.
Farm Administration economists are
convinced that this would stimulate the
rise in prices paid by farmers and would
contribute to offSetting rises in the
prices of farm products which they
hope to bring about.
In the case of the grocery and food
code before the Farm Administration,
retail sales at less than 71a per cent
mark-up over wholesale cost would be
prohibited and 212 per cent mark-up
by wholesalers over open prices would
be required of grocery manufacturers.
The Farm Administration has set a
corps of economists to work analyZing
the probable effects of further price in
creases to farmers and what it regards
as prospective increases If the N. r. A.
approved the markup provisions.
Representations Made.
Already, informal representations
have been made by Farm Administra-
ton officials to the N. R. A. that the
10 per cent markup would increase
their difficulties in getting parity prices
for farm products, based on pre-war
relationships.
A spokesman for the Farm Admin
iStration said these representations will
be followed up as far as necessary but,
of course, they will be on friendly
and informal basis-there is no conflict
and probably no difference of opinion"
When the Farm Administration an
nounced the October hearing Friday,
it authorized its consumers counsel,
Fred c. Howe. to express his definite
opposition to the markup provisions in
an official statement.
