Lady Diplomat Impressive
Mrs. Hartman, Who Turned to Politics,
Has Story-Book Life.
BY SIGRID ARNE,
Associated Press STAFF Writer

~ HARLES HELL M MARIA)
1 DAWES got into an argument
once that tells the whole
story about the new Minister
to Norway.
In hotel in Paris he saw a woman
in evening clothes leave his elevator.
Later, he announced:
Mary Gardens in town. Saw her
in the elevator"
That's not Garden. That's Daisy
Harriman-you know, Mrs. j. Bor-
den Hartman of New York and WASH
ington,' he was told.
Dawes stuffed his pipe and replied
icily, There's just one back like that
in the world-and it belongs to Mary
Garden"
But the lady really was the zestful
Mrs. Hartman, who will be America S
second woman diplomat. She's the
kind of a person who stirs ripples Of
who's that?" Just by walking into the
room. She's almost feet tall, slim
and straight as an athlete. Her thick
white hair is cropped closely at the
neck, and her direct blue eyes usually
are amused
Story Book Life
She's had story book life that
could have been all on the caviar
side She started off with a debut
at New York's Delmonico's. At 10
she married the New York banker,
j. Borden Hartman. They had d
daughter Mrs. Hartman, for a while
contented herself with trips to Europe,
the races, and so on.
But her curiosity led her into
worrying about the underdog. She
read economics, biography and history.
And suddenly, right in New York s
silk-stocking district, she became a
Democrat.
That was back when they hunted
Democrats in New York with blood
hounds" she remarks.
She turned her familys dinner
gatherings into political tournaments,
but her husband quelled consterna-
ton among the elders by saying: Its
rather nice that Daisy and 1 think
differently. We always have some
thing to talk about"
Then Chief Justice Hughes un-
Willingly touched off the spark that
resulted ultimately in her becoming
diplomat. When he was Governor
OF New York. Hughes asked Daisy
Hartman to serve on a board at q
reform farm for woman prisoners.
Public Enterprises Helped.
Since then many public enterprise
has had her help. Mrs. Hartman met

co-operated to set up milk stations for
the poor. They were iubilant when
they raised 100000 in six weeks.
Mrs, Hartman took a hand with a
farm for tuberculars. She decided
American women should have a club
Of their own, so she formed New York;
Colony Club and became its president.
The Harrimans moved to Washing
ton when President Wilson appointed
Mrs Hartman to his Federal Indus
trial Relations Committee. She was the
only woman member. Mr.. Hartman
died in 1914
When the World War came along,

W0MEN'S BATTLE
ON COURT WAKES
Oklahoma Democrats Likely
to Protest Action by Club
Federation.
By the Associated Press.

0E the ASSoCldIeu TIeSS
TULSA, Okla, May IA political
storm blown up in Oklahoma by the
General Federation Of Women's Clubs
opposition to the Roosevelt court plan
grew stronger today.
Party leaders focused their attention
on a meeting of the State Democratic
Committee at Oklahoma City Monday,
called to consider other matters, but
expected to indorse the President and
his judiciary program and possibly
protest the club women's action.
National Democratic Chairman
James Farley telephoned Mrs John G.
Catlett, national committeewoman for
Oklahoma and bitter critic of the club
women's stand, to compliment her on
her position.
He was highly commendatory, she
said.
Mrs Roberta Campbell Lawson,
president of the general federation,
said she knew nothing of Farleys in
terest and described as silly charges
that the federation council vote was
stacked against the court.
Organization Nom Partisan.
i repeat this is non-partisan or
ganization Of which I am honored to
be president" she declared. Il can do
only what the delegate body instructs
me to do.
The federation is loosely-woven so
the council delegates could not pos
sibly be hand-picked. l don't know
what party they belong to individually
don't even know the party afflliation
of the Executive Committee members -
Revealing that she had been called
to Washington for a Democratic con-
ference about matters she cared not to
discuss, Mrs. Catlett said:
The court issue never should have
been brought up in the council 1t
was fixed before it ever came to Okla
homa and the Oklahoma delegates
could not stop it.
Wheeler Didn't Read Speech.
The Thursday night debate was
unfair Both men, Senator Wheeler
and Assistant Attorney General JOS
eph B. Keenan, were to read their
papers. That was the agreement
keenan, had to read his speech because
of his position, Speaker Wheeler
didn't. When keenan, asked for 10
minutes rebuttal Mrs. Lawson refused.
When go back to Washington 70
try to get projects for Oklahoma
they'll say, You let the President get
slapped in the face down there in
Oklahoma
The majority of those women
down here didn't know what it was all
about. 1t is congressional question
and should not have been brought
before the women. 1t is the hottest
thing that has been before the Ma
ton"
Mrs. Lawson laughed over pub
lished reports that Democratic lead
ers charged her disloyalty to the party
was prompted because she did not
get an appointment as Minister tc
Denmark"
"Oho, that's a scream!' she cried
'I've never been a candidate for any
political Office. I'd rather be president
of the federation than Minister to
Denmark any day"

gear and clearing for a race, they
sailed on July 81 for the Isle of Wight,
where all Britain's yachtsmen were
assembled for the season. The Ameri-
cans determined to race the first
English boat they saw. Fog forced
them to lay to for the night miles
from CoVes. but when the haze
cleared in the morning the English
cutter Laverock came out to meet
them. calling challenge to race in.
Commodore Stevens accepted and
beat Laverock so badly he was unable
to negotiate another race. Finally,
exasperated, he posted notice in
the club house Of the Royal Yacht
Squadron that America would race
any boat the British could produce
for stake of from $500 to $4,000.
There were no takers for three weeks
and the offer was withdrawn.
While the offer still stood, the own
