SAN FRANCISCO, October 10
The San Francisco Chronicle for
mally denied yesterday it had been
in contempt of the California Su-
preme Court when it printed Septem-
Der 10 an article saying the court had
decided to give David A. Lamson,
convicted wife murderer. new trial.
Chester r. Rowell. editor. and w.
D. Chandler, managing editor, were
named in the citation.
In affidavits accompanying the ci-
tation, the court had declared the
article untrue, and alleged it had
tended to bring the high court into
disrepute.
RoWell and Chandler admitted re-
sponsibility for the publication, but
declared it was published in good
faith and rested upon belief in its
truth.
The justices tried ineffectively to
learn the source of the information
the Chronicle had published. The
case will be taken under advisement
after the papers attorneys file their
points.

en- route to New York to testify in the
suit Of Mrs. Gloria Morgan Wander

today allegations against himself and
Mrs. Vanderbilt were "preposterous.

liner Bremen. He said Mrs. Wander
bilt asked him to make the trip after

The prince, who is a great grandson
OF Queen Victoria, is accompanied bv
the princess. With an air of deter
mination, he asserted:
Il shall insist on giving evidence in
1ull court unless procedure prevents.
The allegations against Mrs. Wander
bllt made by her former servants
are preposterouS and incredible. She
was always most devoted to Gloria.
Her devotion to Gloria was the sole
reason her engagement to me was
broken of at the end of 1928. Ms.
Vanderbilt felt that if she married me
and came to live in Europe Gloria
would not be brought up in the Amer

been accustomed"

Japan WILL SEEK
TOABROGATE PACT
Envoy to Navy ParIey Says
Nippon Will Strive to Break
5-5-3 Ratio.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 10 - Rear
Admiral Osoroku Yamomoto, Japa-
nese delegates TO the London naval
conferences, said before sailing to-
day that it is his opinion Japan will
ask for abrogation of the Washing
ton naval treaty.
The Japanese delegate expressed
the opinion when asked whether
Japan planned an abrogation of the
treaty, which provides $50 naval
ratio for the United States, Eng
land and Japan.
"Ot course" he replied. "abroga-
ton IS something which must be
taken up by the government itself
The preliminary negotiations at Lon
don are something apart from the
Washington treaty. The thing that
Japan will ask for at London cannot
be reconciled with the provisions Of
the treaty which are based on the
ratio system.
Avoids Parity Issue.
1T is my opinion that the japanese
government will ask for the abroga-
ton of the Washington Treaty. but
the abrogation will not take place
through the negotiations in London. "
The admiral was asked whether
Japan was seeking a parity of naval
strength with England and the United
! States.
1T may be possible" he said. ''to
interpret Japan's demands as parity,
though am not using that particular
expression. What we do want is a
naval strength which will be sufi-
cient to guarantee our national Sc
curity. We expect, Of course. that
that same right shall be accorded to
all the powers concerned"
Davis and Standley Silent.
Norman H. Davis, special envoy Of
the United States to Europe, and Ad-
miral William H. Standley, chief of
naval operations, sailed for England
today on the liner Manhattan to par
ticipate in the naval conversations.
Both Davis and Standley MAIN
tanned a discreet silence concerning
United States aims in the tri-partite
talks, which are preliminary to con-
ferences in 1885 among the signatory
nations for renewal of the London
pact of 1880. The London treaty ex-
pires December 81, 1886.
