world developments should make it
necessary, Mr.. Early emphasized.
: Explaining the background of the
conflict over the plans for a speech
in Baltimore, Mr.. Early said that
the President originally had in
tended to speak on October 80 from
Constitution Hall here in Washing
ton. Edward j. Flynn, Democratic
National Committee chairman, sug-
gested, however, that he speak that
evening in Baltimore instead.
Mr.. Flynn and his associates ap-
parently did not know then that the
only available and sizable place in
Baltimore already had been leased
to the Republicans for a speech
there by Mr.. Willkie that night, Mr..
Early SAID.
Brooklyn Speech Probable.
Since they have found the COM
plications in Baltimore" he con-
tinued, the same men who wanted
the President to speak there now
are urging him to speak instead at
the Academy of Music in Brooklyn"
Mr. Roosevelt probably will fol-
low the committees decision on the
matter, Mr.. Early said. Frank Kelly,
Brooklyn Democratic leader, ar
ranged to see Mr.. Roosevelt today
to discuss tentative plans for him
to 60 to Brooklyn.
Mr.. Roosevelt returned to WASH
lngton today from week end at
his Hyde Park IN. " home, where
he had virtually his last chance
for a prediction rest. But even in
his Duchess County retreat he could
not get complete relaxation.
Guests At Estate.
His guests for two days included
Canada'S Governor General, the
Earl of Athlone; his wife, daughter,
lady in waiting and secretary. A
cold kept the earl, uncle of Eng
lands King George vi, from riding
around the countryside with the
Chief Executive and attending serv-
ices yesterday at st. James Episco-
pal Churcn.
More royalty came in for a Sun
day lunch at Hyde Park house.
Grand Duchess Charlotte and Prince
Consort Felix of Luxembourg, who
fled from their homeland before a
German invasion, drove up from
Long Island, where they had found
refuge in the home of Joseph E.
Davies, former Minister to Luxem-
bourg.
They left for New York at the
end of two-hour visit, the Canadi-
ans arranged to follow them today
and Mr.. Roosevelt departed for
Washington by special train last
night.
Big Push" in Campaign.
With President Roosevelt prepar-
ing to carry his fight into the camp
OF the enemy, and Wendell L. Will
kie, the Republican presidential
nominee, back-tracking into the
Middle West and East, the 1910
campaign was hitting the big push
stage today, as each party mar
shaled a supporting array of nota-
bles to back up its standard bearer.
Former President Hoover is sched-
uled to urge Mr.. Wilkes cause in
a Thursday night speech at Colum-
bus, Ohio. Frank Lowden, former
Governor OF Illinois, is on the pro-
gram for broadcast address on

Bucharest. Rumania, Dec. 3 -
UP Horia Sima. head OF the Iron
Guard. dissolved his organizations
l0,000-man police force today, re-
stricted the wearing OF its green
shirt uniform and ordered a purge
OF new members who have failed
to understand the spirit OF the
movement" ~
The decree was believed to mean
that Premier Gen. Ion Antonescu
and the old conservative" faction
OF the Iron Guard had Joined forces
to suppress the fanatical Iron
Guard youths, who massacred 81
followers OF the abdicated King
Carol at Jihlava Prison last week
and pushed Rumaia to the brink
OF anarchy with widespread disor-
ders
(Reports In other Balkan capt.
tabs last week said that Iron Guard
fanatics and Rumanian troops, UNI
der Antonescu. had battled in the
streets of several towns).
Sima deplored last weeks Iron
Guard excuses and his decree to-
day was believed to imply his full
cooperation with Antonescu. The
premier-general- apparently had
made a long step toward consolidat-
ing his power and restoring order
by the issuance of the decree.
Several members of the Iron
Guard police, which extends
throughout the country, were among
the Jihlava massacre perpetrators.
The order to purge the Iron Guard
membership rolls apparently was
intended to weed out youths who
rushed to join when the pro-Nazi
organization came to power with
Carols abdication and the occupa-
ton of Rumania by German troops.
1t was recalled that the Iron Guard
membership had more than trebled
at that time.
Young radicals were estimated
TO outnumber Sima's conservative
followers ten to one.
Sima's decree was dated Monday.
II also forbade the wearing OF the
Iron Guard green shirt except at
solemn occasions and at party head.
quarters.
