(pa al to The Sen and New Tok Itriut-D-. Washington, July 18. Gov. Cox of Ohio carao safely through his confer-enc- e with President Wilson at the White House with Franklin 1. Roosevelt, Cox's running mato on the Ii'.mocratio ticket, standing by throughout. Tito conference was held on the back porch of tho Whlto House, start-- , Ins promptly at half past 10 o'clock ;.nd lasting a little more than an hour. The Governor did not visit the White House offices for his conference with ticr.spaper men until considerably i.iter, however. Instead, tho three parties to the conference sat down In seclusion and wroto out statements, all laying great stress on the complete harmony, but saying little else. Tho Governor was delayed somewhat, too, by Senator Carter Glass (Va.), late Secretary of the Treasury, dropping in to dltcuss tho platform, the convent- ion and the subject of taxation. When tho Governor finally put in an appearance after tho conference he volunteered no information, but merely answered questions. The first thins ho was asked about waa the LMguo of Nations. \Wo discussed tho subject in a gen- eral way,\ said the Governor. \The PrAident knows from tho statements w\ . ' . . - lions are, and you \have his response.\ Silent Until JIls Acceptance. wkm hn ivnq nlnned down to an swering whether tho President had approved these reservations, or whether the Governor had modified i.is views, he said: You gentlemen can see the utter mpropriety of, discussing that with on now. That wm oe laxeu up my speech of acceptance of the nomi- nation.\ ' That question vas regarded as of the utmost Importanco in view of tho in- fluence by President Wilson through- out the League\ of Nations flght that lie was Impelled by considerations only of the highest moral sort to insist on Hie league covenant in the shape in which he drafted it.

Cox said. Uc refused to say anything on this score, on the ground that the onfcrcnre with the committeeman should come first \The President Is In splendid shape,\ the Governor said, when asked about Mr. Wilson's physical condition. \I nas most agreeably surprised.\ Returning to the campaign; Gov. Cox aid the flght would start as soon as his speech of acceptance was out of the way. The date of this speech also will be fixed on Tuesday, he said. Dry Senator to Help Cox. The Governor disclosed to-d- that he and Senator Sheppard (Texas) did not touch on the subject of prohibition Ksterday, and there is considerable speculation here as to how to account for the Senator's statement that he was entirely satisfied with his party's nomi- nee's position on the booze question. It was generally accepted that Senator Sheppard has decided to swallow tho Governor's candidacy, wetness and all, because he Is going out to campaign for him. In the conference with the newspaper men the Governor put in another bid for the support of women. He said he intended to take a hand In the suffrage \tluatlon In North Carolina and \where-ev- er my efforts can be helpful.? The Roosevelt statement was passed by aa meaning nothing at all. There Is tremendous Interest here though In what the Cox and Wilson statements mean. The statement by the President that \he and I (Cox) were absolutely at one with regard to the great issue ot the conference. As the two have not been \at one\ thus far, th6 question ot which e backed down seems likely to remain mystery until the Cox speech of ac- ceptance. The further statement in what Mr. nilson dictated, that Gov. Cox \Is ready be the champion In every respect of the honor of the nation and the secure peace of the world.\ Is a puzzle here, too, as to Its exact meaning. It was pointed out In some quarters that the' ame thing might be said of hundreds f millions of Americans without In any ay putting them down as adhering to 'he Wilson demand that4be unamended and unreserved League of NatWns be the paramount issue in the campaign for the Presidency. U was pointed out further that this ntence might be supplied very aptly \en to one of Mr. Wilson's chief po- litical foes, Senator Hcnry'Cabot Lodge (Mass.), Those who analyzed the Cox statement f;iffu,Iy,&Jle'1 t0 flna anything In It could be taken as binding him to Continued on Third Page, t: Wilson's, Cox's and Roosevelt's Versions of White House Conference on the League ' r- - j Special to Tub Sex and New York Hciut.tr. WASHINGTON, July i8.HtSre are the statements of the prin- cipals, issued following the meeting of President Wilson, Gov. fames M, Cox and Franklin D.Jtoosevelt to-da- y: President Wilton The interview was in every respect most satisfactory and gratifying. I found what I indeed already knew and what Gov.Cox has let the whole world know in his speeches that he and I were absolutely at ono with regard to the great issue of the League of Nations and that he ia ready to be tho champion in every respect of the honor of tho nation and the secure peace of the world. Gov. Cox wiU have the vigorous sup- port of an absolutely united party, and, I am confident, also of an absolutely united nation. Got. James M. Cox From every viewpoint the meeting was delightful. The President was at his best, recalling any detail inquired about as bearing upon the international situation and enlivening the whole conference with a humorous anecdote now and then in his old time characteristic way. We are agreed as to the meaning and sufficiency of the Democratic platform and the duty of the party in the face of threatened bad faith to the world in the name of America. His thought is still of the. war and the pledges we gave to those who sacrificed. One easily sees that as the leader of the nation who asked for our sons and our resources upon a very distinct understanding and obligation he is resolved that the faith shall be kept. To this his thought and Ufe are dedicated. . What he promised I shall, if elected, endeavor with all my strength to give. Franklin D. Roosevelt I wish that every American could have been a silent witness to the meeting between these two great men. Their splendid accord and their high purpose are an inspiration. I need only adds that my regret in leaving my post under President Wilson is softened by the knowledge that my new commander in chief will be his wholly worthy successor. HARDING MAKES DEMAND ON COX Insists Opponent Tell His At titude About Wilson's For- eign Policies. MANX\ QUESTIONS ASKED Wants to Know if Tlcdge Has Been Given to Adopt Presi- dent's Programme. Hi, a Stall Correspondent ot Thz Sc.N and New Yosk Hctaid. Marion, Ohio. July 18. Demand Is made by Senator Harding ht that Gov. Cox Immediately inform the American people whether he has pledged himself to fulfil all of the for- eign commitments to which President Wilson has pledged the American people. The Itepubllcan nomlnec.in a brosfl-sid- e calls upon Gov. Cox to inform tho voters of the United States on a va- riety of subjects. Having no Informa- tion at hand concerning what may have been given out in Washington concerning the White House confer- ence, Mr. Hardlngpredlcates a ques- tionnaire to Gov. Cox on the assump- tion that Secretary Tumulty or some other spokesman Gov, Cox himself even has made an. announcement that the President and the Democratic candldato, to succeed him \find them- selves in complete accord regarding a foreign policy.\ , - Senator Harding therefore asks Gov. Cox point blank whether as Demo- cratic nominee he has \pledged him- self to ratification of the treaty and league without essential modifica- tions.\ This, however.'ls only one of the ques- tions on which Mr. Harding demands an answer from his Democratic oppo- nent. The Itepubllcan candidate now that Gov. Cox Is In the complete confi- dence of the White House calls upon him for Information on various foreign commitments which In the past has no( been forthcoming from, the White Hou'e even under the pressure of a request from the legislative branch of the Gov- ernment in the form' of a Senate resolu- tion. N ' Indifferent About Answer. Entirely Indifferent whether he re- ceives affirmative or negative answers, Mr. Harding fires his questions In direct manner. Ho Issued this statement: \The President and tho Democratic nominee for his successor are in confer- ence y and at the conclusion it will Inevitably be announced that they found themselves In complete accord, that Har- mony reigns and unity is established In the Democratic party. The significance of that announcemet will not be missed. There'Is Just one way that ono can estab- lish' accord between himself and the President: that Is by yielding his own opinion at every point to that of (he President When the nominee estab- lishes accord with the President It means that the latter Is In charge of the cam- paign and will be the real force of the next Administration.

Creating; Political Atmfosphera. The most dramatic episode of this riature was Cockran's appearance upon the platform as the champion of tho wets to debate with the redoubta- ble Bryan, champion of tho drys. Cockran got the worst of this rough nnd tumble, 'becauso Bryan was not Bryan the politician but Bryan the evangelist that day, but the advertis- ing was useful. TJiere was good ad- vertising also in Cockran's prominence in the committee on resolutions, more advertising In Cockran's frequent ap pearances upon the platform at the ear of the chairman, and in Cockran's open and Intimate confabs with Mur- phy.

So strong was the admiration of the German people for tho Prince that thore were widespread rumors In the fall of 1916 that the Kaiser would abdicate In his favor as a means of satisfying the growing opposition to his imperialistic rule.

Never bbfore, so far as is known, has a yacht's) master been supplanted during a Cup scries.' In yachting circles last night It provoked more comment than any other single Inci dent connected with tho contests since tho challenge was received. Apparently there are two distinct causes for the action. Although Capt Burton came here as tho Shamrock'' skipper with tho reputation of being the b:st Corinthian In all the British tfsles, there stood -- out the fact that tn his two efforts against Resolute he was clearly outmanoeuvred and outmanaged by Charles Francis Adams 2d, amateur skipper of the defender. Then to several days ugly rumor have beer afloat In the challenger's camp at Sandy Hook regarding dis- sension In the Shamrock's crew. These grew In volume since Thursday, follow-- ' Ing the first race, when Shamrock won only becauso Resolute was d'sabled. Following Saturday's race, when Reso. lute showed herself the complete su- perior of tho challenger, It was common gossip that there was friction aboard the Shamrock, that things were running anything but smoothly there and that dissatisfaction was rampant among the hardy tars ,7ho had been selected to sail the only cup racer which ever car- ried a woman the skipper's wife kl t'mekeeper and as one ot the crew. . No Snrprlse at Decision. But apparently It was the faulty start of the race Saturday that swerved Sir Thomas toward the decision to replace the challenger's master. The decision carried no element Of surprise to those who viewed the .race from Sir Thomas's steam yacht Victoria, which nlso bore the challenger's owner nt each of tho contests. WhlleSlr Thomas had refused to discuss 'the events of Saturday, and those closest to him wero equally silent, It was known generally that part, if not all, ot the poor showing made by Shamrock at the first turn buoy had been directly attrib- uted on the Victoria's bridge to mis- handling of the rarer. The climax ot the criticism that has resulted In Capt. Burton being displaced ' appeared as the sloops rounded on the' tack that sent the Resolute skimming around the marker to bear away tow- ard the second buoy. Resolute picked up such a lead at this point that victory for the defender was made certain If only the winds held strong enough to permit Resolute to cover the course In the . prescribed sit hour time limit.- - Sham-roc- k, though outguessed at the start and outsailed through the first long reach ' across the wind, was close astern, and. not more than a few hundred yards to leeward.
