SHANG Sept. 21.-The
United States Navy partly saved
Americas slightly damaged 'face"
in China today when the 560-ton
gunboat Luzon, with Ambassador
Nelson T. johnson and his staff
aboard, stuck resolutely to its
mooringS at Marking.
Previous reports the tiny war
ship had moved up the river to-
ward Wuhu were erroneous, for
official naval intelligence in
Shanghai stated that johnson as
yet had not complied with Japa-
nese Vice Admiral Kiyoshi Hase-
gawa's virtual order to leave the
capital.
His order was issued in anticipa-
ticn of devastating bombing raid
designed to raze Marking to the
ground. Hours after the Zero
hour" had passed, however, the ex.
pected bombardment had not
taken place.

HULL OUTLINES
PEACE POLICY

NEW YORK, Sept. 81 U.N.S0.
A policy of enlightened national
ism" to light the road to peace
was advocated today by Secretary
of State Cordell Hull.
Addressing 1000 persons at a
dinner rendered last night by
Harry w. Colmery, national COM
mander of the American Legion,
Hull said it was Americas task to
follow a course of enlightened
nationalism" in international az
fairs, but to keep "our American
traditions and beliefs untouched
within our own borders as well.
Hull advocated a middle course
between complete international
isolation and the other extreme OF
constant ENHANCEMENT in the dis
putes of other nations. He ap-
peared as the representative OF
President Roosevelt, who was un'
able to attend.
Hull called upon American
legionnaires to combat Subversive
foreign influences within the
United States and to foster peace
for all nations.

and did not believe johnson had
made it. They pointed out that
a Japanese official had put out
the report in Shanghai that John
son fled the city aboard the Luzoa,
but this was disproved by an Of
fetal report from the commander
of the Luzon to Admiral Harry
E. Yarnell, commander of the
Asiatic squadron at Shanghai.
johnson went aboard, but the
Luzon remained tied at its moor
ing in the YangtZe River at Man.
king. and Yarnell stated it would
not move unless actually made a
target for bombs.
PROCEDURE EXPLAINED
The mechanics of the decision
to take the embassy staff and
American residents aboard the
Luzon were explained by a State
Department official as follows:
At the outbreak of the conflict
several weeks ago the State De
partment sent a general order to
johnson and all other American
diplomatic and consular officers
in China, not to expose members
of their stats or American resi-
dents to unnecessary risks of in
Jury or death.
EVACUATION DENIED
Day before yesterday japanese
bombing planes made two raids or
Marking. Yesterday they raidet
the capital four times. Ate
these raids johnson cabled tn
State Department that unless hi
decision was countermanded HI
planned to put his staff and what
ever American residents he coul'
persuade aboard the Luzon TEN
porarily as a precaution.
There was no intention, he said
! of abandoning the embassy. Hal
Paxton, second secretary, was lef
in charge, and the embassy door
were opened to those American
who declined to go on the gun
boat.
WARSHIP SAFER PLACE
johnson stated that, in view o
the indiscriminate bombing of tn
city and Japan's threat to wipe i
off the map, he deemed an Ameri
can warship a safer place durini
raids. 1t was pointed out that tn
warship could protect itself, wa
movable and was less likely to b.
attacked.
The State Department then ca
bled johnson that it approved hi
decision and had full confidence
in his judgment.

SHIFT IN VOTES.
PUTS KELLY IN.
SECOND PLACE.
80 AIE-Night CauCuses
Hint Spirited Fight

NEW YORK, Sept. 81 0.N.S).
Following 30 all-night secret
political caucuses by delegates to
the American Legion convention,
Daniel Doherty of Boston emerged
today as the leading candidate for
the post of national commander.
A shift in votes by several OF
the larger state delegations re-
suited in Raymond J. Kelly, OF
Detroit, losing his lead.
DRAW UP PACT
Attempting to stop a stampede
for either Doherty or Kelly, the
majority of the State adjutantS
called an emergency meeting at
which they drew up a gentle
mans agreement" to stop all
caucuses until Wednesday night
the eve OF the elecLlon.
Announcement of the truce was
heartily endorsed by the three
political camps supporting the
weaker candidates-Stephen A.
Chadwick, of Seattle, Milo Warner,
of Toledo, and Lynn Stambaugh,
Of Fargo, N. D.
The organization politicians,
however, disregarded the agree
ment as was readily seen in the
30 caucuses held until early today.
A survey of all the State dele
cations by International News
Service showed that the "key"
States. with the largest number OF
allowed votes, we're backing either
Kelly or Doherty.
DIVISION OF VOTES
Illinois with its SO votes, Penn
sylvania with it's rs, and Massa-
chusetts with As, are all backing
Doherty, while Kelly has drawn
the support of Florida with IT,
Michigan with 38, and Oklahoma
with y. The California delega-
ton. which is seeking to bring
next years convention to Los An
geles, has split up its 10 votes I'M
til such time as it can join the
"bandwagon" and support the win
ming candidate.
New York State, for the first
time in years, is split open, its IS
votes at present being spread
among all candidates.
Due to all the political maneu-
vering, and vote swapping" IN
return for promised favors, it is
admitted by campaign managers
in all political camps that the
vote might go any direction"
DARK HORSE" HINT
In some quarters it was thought
dark horse" might obtain the
commandership as was the case
at the 1926 convention.
Harry w. Colmery, of Kansas.
nresent commander, has re-
manned aloof, refusing to come
out in favor of any one of the
candidates.
Although the California dele
CATION has been waging hard
drive to bring the 1888 convention
to Los Angeles, the Illinois group
today launched an intensive drive
to make Chicago the next Legion
center. The convention site will
be voted on tomorrow.
