Under ReecTs Influence
Even Irish Oppose Him
Bigger Majority Than Wa?
Given Coolidge Is Seer

By Carter Fie.<_
Sprcial VHspatch to The Tribxtne
BOSTON, March 29.?President Wil
gon is probably weaker in his owi
party in Massachusetts than in an;
other state in the Union. Not even ii
Missouri, where the combined influenc
of Senator Reed and "The Kansas Cit;
star" has battered the peace treat;
and the league of nations for a yeai
is the President's influence at so lo\
in ebb as here.
The reason is that the Democrati
party in Massachusetts is almost ex
elusively an Irish-American institutioT
and the Irish are vigorously oppos?e
almo?*t to a man, to the President'
treaty attitude.
Senator David I. Walsh, who not onl
supported many of the Lodge reserva
tions to the peace treaty, but soin
of the textual amendments as well, an
?ho finally voted with Lodge to ratif
the treaty after the President had sen
the word to Administration Senator
that he wanted it killed, will contre
the Massachusetts delegation to th
San Francisco convention beyond an
question.
There arc only five candidates fo
the Big Four?four Walsh men an
Joseph F. OTonnell. As Mr. ?McCor
cell is a brother of Daniel T. O'Connel
of the Friends of Irish Freedom, an
is heartily anti-Wilson and anti-leagu
there would not be much balm fc
the Administration if. by any chanc
he should break the slate.
The four Walsh candidates are tl
.??enator himself, Richard IT. Long, <
Framingham, Democratic nominee f<
Governor in the last two election:
.'oseph C. Pelletier, of Boston, ar
Daniel F. Dohrrty. of Springfield.
Humphrey O'Sullivan, of rubber he
fame, had entered as candidate for or
of the Big Four, but withdrew at tl
last minute. Nominations closed c
the night of the 2fith, so it is too la
for the Administration to make a ligl
even had it desired to do so.
If William Jennings Bryan shou
succeeed in writing a "dry" plank
the Democratic platform at San Fra
cisco, with the support of Souther
and Western delegates, and if the co
vention also should indorse Preside
Wilson's record on the treaty, both
which are certainly well within tl
bounds of possibility, Massachuset
will roll up such a Republican majori
as the state never has seen before.
"It will make Governor Coolidg?
majority of 125.000 last fall look like
close election," said one promine
Democrat.
The only hope of putting any zest
the Massachusetts Democratic campai;
at all is that a moist platform, a moi
candidato named, and in addition th
th? treaty nlank will be so mild as
be very unsatisfactory to the Pre:
dent.
Representative James A. GaUivan, ?
s recent visit to Boston, made it qui
clear to party associates that he, f
one, would not support a platform in
which was written prohibition and i
dorsement or* the league of nations.
Perhaps the best way to illustra
the disaffection of the Irish from t
Democratic party is to quote a pron
nent politician's belief that 20,000 Iri
Democrats voted for Coolidge last N
vembcr as a protest against the W
son Administration.
"We ara going to follow ?Senat
Walsh, certainly on the fundamental
one prominent Democrat told me.
"What do you mean by the func
mentals?" I asked him.
"Prohibition and the peace treat;
he replied without any hesitation.
The only strong fight being made i
the ?Administration in any district
being made by Joseph B. Ely, forn
District ?Attorney, in the 1st C<
gressional district. This district
eludes the Berkshires, at the extre
western end of the state. In the sa
district. David T. Clark, of Willian
town, where President Wilson f reque
ly visited his daughter, Mrs. Say
is understood to be an Administrai
candidate. The Walsh problem hi
is to consolidate the anti-Administ
tion strength on two candidates, sil
four Walsh men have entered.
Ely is conceded to have a large p
sonal following, so that he may
elected, but he is the only Administ
tion man who is admitted to have .
chance of going to San Francisco fr
Massachusetts. In the 2d distr
James D. Lynch, of Springfield, is
garded as an anti-Walsh candidate, 1
h? is against both Wilson and i
peace treaty.
In the 3d district, Marcus A C
lidge. of Fitchburg, is running
?n ?Administration slate with George
Moore, of Palmer. Coolidge collec
funds for the Wilson campaign in b
1912 and 1916. Coolidge and Palmer
being opposed by Thomas H. Shea,
Fitchburg, and William W. Buckley,
?Southbridge, both Wal?/h men. In
"th district, Michael A. O'Leary,
Cambridge, is anti-Walsh but also ai
Administration.
Just as in the Republican party,
democrats are running unpledged
most to a roan. There was a per
.when to carry out their ideas it *,
?-ought wise to indorse Senator Wa
for President. This would have h
-one had it been necessary to h
their forces together against opp<
tion, but no opposition has develor.
Friends of A. Mitchell Palmer h
"of had the temerity to enter him
this state by attempting to put
"aimer delegates, and there is to
no preferential Presidential primi
Senator Walsh himself is stron
favorable to Vice-President Marsl
for the Democratic nomination. '
Senator will not only control
Massachusetts delegation, but his
?uence will be tremendous on the d?
Rations of other New England sta

The only other Democratic Sena
?rom New England, Senator Peter C

against President Wilson on the ri
tteaty roll call, refusing to obey

because of the Lodge reservations.

President to
Pass Summer
In Bay State
Continued (rom first pag*
throughout the dog days, he would un
dcrtakc it himself, and he did so.
The President did not return fron
the peace conference at Paris last yea
until mid-summer and he. passed thi
next few weeks preparing for his lonj
speaking trip in the West, from whicl
he returned "a very sick man," to ust
the expression contained in Dr. Gray
son's official bulletin, and with the ex
ception of occasional motor rides o:
late, he has been confined to the White
House grounds ever since last October
Houston to Be a Neighbor
Secretary Houston has a place r1
Wood's Hole near the summer White
House, and other beautiful estates an
close by. Dr. Grayson decided to ac
cept Mr. Crane's offer, it is said, be
cause he wanted the President awaj
from the- oppressive heat of Washing
ton in mid-summer and because h<
wanted him near the salt water.
Under present .arrangements th<
President will be in New Englanc
while the Democratic National Conven
tion is in session in San Francisco
From all indications now Congress
will then nominally be in session
but actually will be transacting nc
business by reason of a gentle
men's agreement among the lead?
ers. There have been some hint*
that the President might reserve thf
much expected official announcement a;
to whether ho wants a third term foi
presentation at the convention, and il
that be true, he probably would pre?
pare his letter at the summer White
House.
The usual staff of secretaries, clerks
stenographers and secret service mer
will accompany the President. Special
telephone and telegraph wires will be
installed, and to all practical purposes
the White House will be in Wood's
Hole after June 15.
WOOD'S HOLE, Mass., March 29.?
Residents of this Cape Cod village.
when informed to-night that President
Wilson was to pass the summer at
Juniper Point, the home of Charles R.
I Crane, said that from the standpoints
I of seclusion and picturesqueness he
! could not have made a better choice.
The 1'50-acrc estate covers the entire
point, which is the southwest tip of
? Cape Cod and the meeting point of
the waters of Buzzard's Bay to the
west, Nantucket Sound to the cast and
Vineyard Sound to trie south.
Mr. Crane bought the Point ten
years ago from Daniel Butler, a re?
tired business man'who had made it
his home for forty years. He re?
modeled the principal house on the
estate, which the President will oc?
cupy, and made elaborate develop?
ments in landscape architecture. A
Japanese garden, laid out from ?deas
gathered by Mr. Crane in his visits to
the Orient, is an interesting feature.
There are artificial ponds and tennis
courts, together with a private pier
and a small beach.
The point commands a wide pano?
rama of sea and shore. To the east?
ward stretches the southern cape shore,
the outside of the long arm which
crooks its elbow sharply to the north?
ward at Chatham. Across Vineyard
Sound the shore of Martha's Vineyard
Island is in view from* the lighthouse
at Gay Head to that at West Chop.
To the southwest lie the Elizabeth
Islands and through Buzzard's Bay, to
the westward, there is a constant pas?
sage of shipping to and from the west?
ern entrance to the Cape Cod Canal.
Mr. Crane's "cottage" contains twen?
ty rooms. On the estate are two
other houses, one of which has been
occupied for the last three summers by
Secretary Houston of the Treasury
Department. The other is the resi?
dence of Mr. Crane's sister-in-law,
Mrs. L. L. Turner.
The summer season at Wood's Hole
as a rule is quiet socially. Activities
center principally about the Marine
Biological Laboratory, at which a sum?
mer school is conducted under direc?
tion of Professor Frank R. Millie, of
the. University of Chicago, a brother
in-law of Mr. Crane.
The. Federal fish hatchery also at
*iacts many visitors from other re?
sorts along: the cape shore.
Wood's Hole has some tourist traffic,
through its location as the terminal
of a branch line of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad and
the stops made here by the steam?
ships plying between New Bedford,
Vineyard Haven and Nantucket.
There is a golf course not far from
the village where it is possible that
the President may be able to obtain
some exercise.
For the transaction of Executive
business officials of the summer White
Hous? will find excellent wire facilities.
These have been increased in recent
years to handle the land relays of ra?
diograms through the wireless station
at Siasconsett, on th_ island of Nan?
tucket.
Many residents of this part of the
cape have vivid recollections of another
President. Thirty years ago one of
the most familiar figures hereabouts
was Grover Cleveland, who passed
many days each summer fishing in Buz
sard's Bay.

^ I From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
' WASHINGTON, March 29.?Declaring
1 that unless the financial methods of
'" the Wood campaign managers arc cor?
rected they would "bring disgrace upon
your name, upon your party and upon
f your country," Senator Borah tele
- graphed Major General Wood to-day, rc
? iterating his charges of excessive cx
j penditures in the interest of the sol
t j dier's candidacy for the Republican
? j Presidential nomination.
; j The Idaho Senator added that ?n
? formation he was receiving convinced
' him he was "modest" in his original
. j statement. His message was in reply
; I to the assertion made by General Wood
that the Borah charges were inspired
| by a desire to influence the Michigan
preferential primary next Monday.
The Senate Committee on Privileges
' and Elections will meet to-morrow to
consider holding a public hearing on the
' Borah bill, which would bring candi?
dates for the Presidential nomination
under the corrupt practices act.

? ) Senator Borah's message to General
>, ? Wood follows:
? j "Press dispatches state you claim
7 ? the attack upon you was to sway the
. j voters of Michigan. You are in part
? j correct. It was intended to swav the
?voters not only in Michigan'but in the
t j United States. I know of no other
,' ! tribunal to which to appeal to correct
[ ? these practices. But it can only be ef
, j fective provided the facts I stated are
j correct. It is within vour power to
, j give to the people of Michigan and
| other states a list of your subscribers,
the amount you are expending, the
j amount which you did expend in South
' j Dakota, the amount which you purport
, to spend in Ohio and Illinois. If you
; I will make a statement of these facts
I over your signature I will correct any
! erroneous statement which I have
? heretofore made.
i "The material which is coming from
, South Dakota, Illinois and Ohio con?
vinces me that I was modest in _ny
statements. General Wood, if you aro
not familiar with what is going on in
| your behalf for the Presidency I take
j leave to assert that unless you fair.il
! iarize yourself and correct it you will
I bring disgrace upon your name, upon
j your party and upon your country. It
i is up to you as a soldier and a man to
come out boldly and meet these facts,
and either show the public that they
are unfounded or else repudiate the
' men who have manifested their de?
termination to control the national con?
vention through the use of money.
McAdoo Favors Investigation
William G. McAdoo, "inactive" can?
didate for the Democratic Presidential
! nomination, in a letter received to-day
by Senator Sheppard of Texas, urged
; immediate passage of the Borah bill
j and the adoption of a resolution au
; thcrizing an investigation of the expen
: ditures of all Presidential candidates
, in the present campaign. His letter fol
i lows:
"I observe that Senator Borah has
| introduced a bill to limit expenditures
! of Presidential candidates in primary
elections and in pre-convention can
i paigns. I think the principle of this
measure is absolutely right, and I ear
| nestly hope that it may be promptly
j enacted by the Congress. One of the
j greatest perils to the Republic is the
j improper use of money in the primary
I and general elections. The suggestion \
; that the Senate appoint a committee to i
! investigate the expenditures of the vari
i ous candidates and their various com- ?
mittees in the campaigns they are con- ?
j ducting for the Presidential nomination
| is highly commendable and ought to b? \
| adopted."

CALUMET, Mich., March 29. ?
Charges that an intricate system of
propaganda to break down the friend?
ship of the United States with the
Allies already had taken effect were
j made by General Leonard Wood, can- !
| didate for the Republican Presidential ?
? nomination, in an address to-day at

"Those who use this propaganda are
trying to make unavailing the fine
sacrifices of our boys who died in
France," General Wood said.
Asserting that there were some men
who cried "militarist" at every man in
uniform, General Wood said: "Men
who despise the uniform are not
Americans."
"Militarism is the cry of the fakers
who caused half our deaths in France ?
by blocking training and preparedness. \
j That would be the verdict of those
who died untrained in France because
these 'humbugs' sent them to their
I death."

'Fair Play' Is
LWood Cure for
I^bor Unrest
"Remember, Workers Are
Not Chattels or Commodi?
ties," He Says, Stating
Views on Capital's Attitude
Enters Vermont Contest
General Gives Assent to
the Placing of His Name
on the Official Ballot
Representative Norman J. Gould and
Colonel Thomas W. Mill?nr, Eastern
managers of the Leonard Wood cam?
paign, made public yesterday a statc
! ment by General Wood on labor and
j capital which the general will use this
week in Michigan, where he is cam?
paigning. Since ?Michigan is a battle?
ground for the Wood, Johnson and
Lowden supporters, and since the rela?
tions of capital and labor arc regarded
hs equally important with the league
of nations as an issue, the P.astcrn
managers say that General Wood's
views on capital and labor arc of un?
usual importance. General Wood says:
"I have been asked many times dur?
ing my recent visits to various states
as to my attitude toward the problems
of industrial relations.
"I have only one answer, only one
conviction?the obvious solution to any
vexed question between the two parties
in industry is a better understanding
and closer cooperation.
Simple Honesty Demanded
"The primary factor in this situation
is that of honesty, and nothing more.
The employer to be honest must pay
fair wages, establish hours that will
not exhaust his employees, give them
clean, healthful workplaces, treat thorn
as human beings and seek neither to
exploit nor capitalize them for profits
or his own personal prosperity. He
must, in a word, recognize the fact that
exacting conditions and unfair treat?
ment are not honesty. The working
man is a most valuable asset in in?
dustry and must be treated ' accord?
ingly.
"The worker must not leave to the
employer all the responsibility for fair
dealing. He must be honest and fair
himself. He must give full return for
the wages paid. He must be satisfied
with a fair wage. He must present any
demands for increased wages and bet?
ter working conditions without threat
of force or violence.
"Full production at this time will
go fa,r to reduce the cost of living
and abate unrest. But there cannot
be full production without that spirit
of cooperation of which I have spoken.
The war apparently has produced men?
tal, moral and physical inertia in some
quarters. It has produced extrava?
gance. It has produced waste. The
conservation of time ?is our greatest
need. But time is being wasted, and
all because there is lacking in many
instances understanding and coopera?
tion.
Fair Play Standard
"Remove the irritants. Set up the
standard of fair play. Remember that
labor is not a chattel, or a commodity;
it is human. Fair minded men can
and will agree. Let none but men of
fair play have voice in the councils.
That is the solution. There is no
other."
The necessary papera containing
General Wood'3 assent to the placing
of his name on the Vermont omcir.l
ballot were forwarded to Vermont yes?
terday. Colonel Miller said that the
reports from Vermont indicated that
General Wood would have eight votes
from that state, the same as he has
from New Hampshire and Maine.
"General Wood," said Colonel Mil?
ler, "now has the largest number of
pledged delegates ever instructed for
an aspirant for the Republican nom?
ination so far in advance of the con?
vention. The people want General
Wood nominated and the delegates
are being istructed accordingly. Jt ??s
particularly gratifying to note that
General Wood's seventy-nine in?
structed delegates have been con?
tributed by various small states in dif?
ferent sections of the country, rather
than from one or two large states.
This is abundant proof of the nation?
wide appeal as an executive, admiti
istrator and statesman, General Wood
makes to the average man and
woman."
The Eastern managers receiver! a
telegram saying that William Ure,
Acting Mayor of Omaha, Neb., during
the riot in that city last September,
is running as a candidate for delegate
to the Chicago convention, and has
pledged himself unqualifiedly to Gen?
eral Wood. His admiration for the
general, he nays, is based on the mas?
terly v/ay in which the general handled
the strike situation in Omaha following
the riots there.

?Hi?es Gains Victory
Over Murphy Again
Tammany Leader Loses Thirty
two Names by Decision on
] Primary Ticket
Charlea F. Murphy's primary elec?
tion ticket in the 11th Assembly Dis
? trict, where Fourteenth Street is try
. ing to oust James J. Hines as Tam?
many leader, received a further set
i back yesterday through a decision
J rendered by Justive Gavcgan in the
Supremo Court.
Tho Murphy faction, represented by
Senator Abraham Kaplan, candidate
for state committecman, asked tho
? court to hold unconstitutional Sec
? tion 58 of the election laws, which
provides that the same name cannot
appear in more than one group on the
, primary ballot as candidate for
county committecman. Justice Gavc?
gan ruled against this contention.
At the same time the court de
! cided that the names of thirty-two
j men which appeared originally in the
Hines group and later were adopted
by the Murphy-Kaplan group would
have to be stricken from the list of
the latter, because they could not be
printed twice on the official ballot.
This meant a further loss of thirty
two candidates of the Murphy-Kap?
lan ticket for county committee.
Justice Gavegan went further and
denied the motion of counsel for *,he
Murphy-Kaplan faction, made at the
hearing last week, in case the court
held the names wrongly duplicated, the
committee on vacancies of the anti
Hinea faction be permitted to substi?
tute other names.
This action means that thirty-two
more candidates for county commit?
tee on the Murphy-Kaplan ticket have
been eliminated from the contest, or
about ninety in all out of a list of
430, of which 226 are required to carry
the county committee for or against
Hines. If the present leader suc?
ceeds in electing 226 of his candidates
for county committee, he will be re?
tained as leader.
Hines and his friends are offering
big odds that they will have votes to
spare and appear sanguine that they
will ele? many more than the neces?
sary number for Hines to retain his
yellow jacket.

Special Dispatch lo The Tribune
DOVER, Del., March 29.?-The first
i day of the second week in the special
j Delaware legislative session, called to
ratify the Federal suffrage amend?
ment, passed without gains by either
i side. With a vote scheduled in the
j House for Wednesday the managers of
i the tight for ratification admit the
situation is critical and only a su?
preme effort, it appears now, can bring
i success. The suffragists arc ready to
| put forth that effort.
Constituents of Representative:; Han

; members to-night to urge both to sup?
port the ratification program. Neithei
: gave a definite reply. Both have beer
j listed among the doubtful, and suffrage
; leaders are counting on added support
? by reason of the conference.
The influence of T. Coleman du Pont
j Republican nacional committeemar
! from Delaware, has been thrown inte
1 the balance in behalf of ratification
and other powerful influences are being
brought to bear in an endeavor tc
, make the Legislature see the allege
? necessity of affirmative action fron
the political viewpoint. It has nar*
! rowed clown to a fight against Gov

tho General Assembly.

Herbert Hoover's supporters,
Democratic and Republican, are ex?
pecting Mr. Hoover will declare him?
self a candidate for the Republican
nomination for President within the
next three weeks and make a cam?
paign for support as a Republican
and nothing else.
The Hoover followers arc arrang?
ing a conference to be held in Chi?
cago about April 15, at which time the
Hoover movement will be organized
nationally, with representatives from
all the states. Following that organi?
zation, it is said, a letter will go from
the conference to Mr. Hoover, telling
him he is .wanted for President, and
asking him to declare his choice of
parties. No one in touch with the
Hoover situation in New York has
any doubt that Mr. Hoover at that
time will come out squarely as a
Republican.
The Hoove?* boomers have, organiz??d
in every Congressional district in
California against Senator Hiram W.
Johnson, with the determination to
elect Hoover delegates wherever they
can break down the Johnson defense.
Senator Johnson is in daily communi?
cation with his lieutenants in Cali?
fornia, and the reports from there in?
dicate Hoover sentiment is. strong.
Senator Johnson said yesterday at the
Hotel Belmont he considered Hoover
an out-and-out contestant for the Re?
publican nomination. He said he could
not understand why Mr. Hoover kept
silent any longer as to his intentions.
Republicans of the 17th Congressional I
District will be urged to vote for j
Hoover delegates to-night at a meet?
ing at Bretton Hail, Broadway and j
Eighty-sixth Street. To-morrow even?
ing a meeting will be held at the Hotel
Majestic, Seventy-second Street and |
Central Park West, and on Thursday ?
evening at the Ansonia, Broadway and j
Seventy-third ?Street.
A large number of canvassers have ?
been busy in that district, urging the
election of Miss Mabel Choate and j
Julian S. Myrick as delegates pledged i
to vote for Hoover at the Republican
convention. I

ers, and will return to Michigan for
the Easter holidays without any
definite plan as to when he will be back
in Washington.
Democratic Senators who were active
in pressing for investigation of the
Michigan Senatorial contest admitted
that they had been prepared, should
Mr. Newberry have appeared in the
Senate, to seek his expulsion on the
ground of his conviction on a criminal
charge. His decision obviates that ac- j
tion and it was assumed the next step
would be in the Committee on Elec- I
tions, where the Ford-Newberry con- ?
test is pending. The committee is to !
meet to-morrow.
Even should Mr. Newberry not par- j
ticipate in any roll calls or be paired ;
on any votes, Republican control of the j
Senate by a majority of one would con?
tinue, the political alignment being !
48 to 47.
