Announcement Follows Pro longed Conference at 10 Downing Street. By the Associated Press. LONDON, June 10 —An official an nouncement at No. 10 Downing street this evening said there had been no agreement at the conference between representatives of the governments ot Great Britain and the Irish Free State. Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald was the first to leave the conference when it ended. He drove straight to Buckingham Palace to report to King George. . t , i The announcement came just after 6 o'clock, when the conference ad journed. President De Valera and the three members of his cabinet who came here with his from Dublin left to catch a boat train on the way home. Crowd Gives Cheer. A crowd which had waited in Down ing street all afternoon gave a rousing cheer as their automobile, flying the Irish tricolor, rolled away. The official announcement said: "There was prolonged discussion on the points at issue, but it was not found possible to reach an agreement." President De Valera and Vice Presi dent Sean O'Kelly refused any com ment. The official communique said what everybody knew—that Mr. De Valera and Mr. O'Krllv had attended for Ire land and that the British represent atives were Mr. MacDonald, Stanley Baldwin, Sir Herbert Samuel and J. H. Thomas. The statement said the meet ing had lasted all day. Experienced political observers could not rcrall anv similar conference which had ended with a biunter. briefer state ment.

Both sides said there would be no dis cussion of Mr. de Valera's plan to abol ish the Free State oath of allegiance to Great Britain or of his determination to discontinue payments of the Irish land annuities. It was believed, however, that any discussion of Anglo-Irish problems could not omit these paramount issues entirely. Extradordinary police precautions were taken to guard De Valera and his party. A force of Bobbies kept th" crowds away and a burly plain clothes man was most vigilant, even with those who possessed credentials. Guard Forming Report. The Daily Herald printed a dispatch from Dublin today saying De Valera was forming a national guard. Although jt was being organized on military lines, the dispatch said, it would not be a military body, but an athletic organi ration. , . De Valera was given a typical Irish Welcome here by a crowd of his country m°n and women at the station. Police kept the crowds out of Downing street itself.
