DEW OR TAYLOR SURE TO TAKE. NATIONAL HONOR.
Latter Gets Chance to ''Catch Up" During
 December
BY JACK GUENTHER United Press Racing EditOr)

New York, Nov. 26.-(UP)-Their feats have been somewhat obscured tby a furry of late developments in other fields, but a couple of the turf's Johnny y-come-latelys are only noses apart today in a dogged bat tie for the Hockey championship of 1940.
 They are Earl Dew of Sac City, Iowa, currently riding at Bay Mead ows in California, and Walter Lee Taylor of Houston, Tex, now en- gagged on the other end of the na- tion at Bowie, Md. Although both are celebrating their first full year in the big time, their race at the moment is so close that the statis- ticians may have to cal flor a photo finish.
 With more than 2,500 mounts be- tween them, Dew today holds the razor-thin margin of eight winners and no matter what happens during the next five weeks either he or his Texan rival is certain to finish on top; all the famed veterans are too far behind to catch up now. Here are the standings of the first five:

VayLOr Gets "Break."
 Factors influencing the rest of the contest are about equal. Dew will be able to ride only 9 days on the west coast before the first of the year as Bay Meadows closes De- cember IA and Santa Anita and Golden Gate Park won't open until December g. During the idle days there will be only Agua Cliente, which now is operating on Sundays only.
 Taylor, however, will draw a full schedule of 31 days. The Bowie meeting continues to Saturday and Charlestown opens Monday to run until December 2l. Since Tropical park in Miami opens on December 20, Taylor can ride continually with out missing a single day so long as he is able to stand the strain.

Hull, After Seeing
Envoy, Expects Better
British Relations
Lothion TuIks for As
Minutes With Secretary
To Clear the Air
Rv GARRETT ID. HORNER.

Secretary of State Hull said today
he saw hope for gradual improve
ment of our relations with Great
Britain on a number of points that
have stirred controversy in recent
weeks.
The Secretary made this comment
at a press conference following a
45-minute discussion with British
Ambassador Lord Lothian.
Mr.. Hull said he and the Ambas-
sador exchanged ideas on several
phases of the relations between
Great Britain and the United States
in an effort to see to what extent
some OF the problems could be
ironed out and other clarified to
mutual advantage
Lord Lothian had told reporters
earlier the conference was designed
to clear the air" on a number of
points in controversy, including
British action in censoring American
mails. searching American ships for
contraband and restricting imports
of American tobacco.
Diverting of Ships.
Secretary Hull said the question
of the British forcing American
ships to enter the forbidden Euro
pean combat zone" in order to
reach British contraband control
stations was being given special at
tention.
Lord Lothian was asked specifi-
cally about reports that the British
were considering discontinuance of
this practice and said this was one
of the points he discussed with
Secretary Hull. There have been
reports that the British contemplate
establishing a contraband control
station at a Canadian port, where
American ships should call for ex-
animation of their cargo on their
way to Europe. Indications are the
State Department would not well
come this idea, because it would in
volve delay of American ships, and
this Government does not recognize
any belligerent right to force neutral
ships off their regular routes.
The State Department has pro-
tested vigorously against British ac-
ton in diverting American ships
to Kirkwell and other English con-
traband control stations, particu-
larly because this forces American
vessels into the combat zone which
they are forbidden to enter under
the Neutrality Act.
Secretary Hull said also his as
sociates in the State Department
were in constant touch with Brit
ish Embassy officials in connection
with the operation of the British
navicert system, under which Ameri-
can shippers may obtain clearance
through the British blockade for
their cargoes before leaving New
York. Some applications for navi-
certs have been rejected by the
British officials without any ex-
PLANTATION to the applicants and it
