Rockwell Pledges Aid j New York, July 11.—Before leav ing late tonight for what he hoped would he a quiet weekend at his country house at Locust Valley, Long Island, John W. Davis, democratic nominee for president, put in a busy day receiving a continuous procession of callers, among them William G. McAdoo, Governor Smith and Cordell Hull, chairman of the democratic na tional committee. After an hour's conference alone with Mr. Davis, Mr. McAdoo said he had called simply to pay his respects to the nominee, whom he had known for many years. When asked whether he would support Mr. Davis and Bryan, the Californian replied: ■'I’ll deal with that question In a statement that I shall issue before I sail for Europe tomorrow* if I can find time to prepare it.” Rockwell Pledges Support. Simultaneously with Mr. McAdoo's call at the house of Frank L. Polk, where Mr. Davts spent the day, David Ladd Rockwell, who had charge of Mr. McAdoo's campaign for the nomination, made public at a hotel a letter to Mr. Davis In which Mr. Rockwell pledged his support and as serted that no candidate ever had had a clearer title to a nomination than Mr. Davis. Mr. Rockwell told corre spondents that It was Inconceivable to him that Mr. McAdoo should decline to give his support to his success ful rival. Though Mr. Davis discussed party orvanization, especially the selection of a national chairman and cam paign manager, with Mr. Hull and George White of Ohio, who had charge of the Cox campaign in 1920, he reached no decision as to the choice of a democratic field marshal for the forthcoming campaign.

Mr. Hull said after his visit to the nominee that he would not continue ns national chairman after the formal opening of the campaign, and Mr. White said he thought it very un likely that he would again take charge.

Va., a resident of the nominee's home town and an old friend of the family, who, by reason of his presi dency of the Davis club of Clarksburg that launched the Davis boom had been considered a possible chairman, spent a large part of the day with Mr. Davis. The nominee so far has been re ceiving suggestions from these and other leaders, but probably will not make a choice until next week. MAN, WIFE, HELD ON FRAUD CHARGE San Francisco.

France Justified in Asking Debt Cut, Senator Savs y Dawes Plan Will Reduce Ger many’s Obligations to Al lies, Dausset Reminds Premier Herriot. By Associated Press. Paris, July 11.—The Joint text jjrawn up in Paris by Prime Minister MacDonald and Premier Herriot dur ing their Interview in connection with the interallied London conference rep resents all the progress that has been made up to the present toward an ac cord between France and Great Brit ain. the French premier declared be fore the senate today, explaining his negotiations with the Rrltish prime minister. He said that the Chequers Interview bound neither country. Replying to interruptions concern ing Mr. MacDonald’s declaration In the house of commons yesterday on the interallied debts. M. Herriot re peated the substance of the Chequers conversation which was confirmed In the joint text of the Paris interview, in the course of whirh Mr. MacDon ald agreed that both governments should study the question in a spirit of equity. Senator Dausset, who preceded M. Herriot, declared that the Dawes plan surely reduced Germany's debt to the allies, and that France conse quently was justified In asking a re duction of her Interallied war debts He asked the premier if he was tak ing steps in that direction, and also whether he has in view an early fund ing of the war debtB, without which the stability of the French currency was impossible. M. Herriot answered that he was powerless on the question of the war debts and could only appeal to the spirit of equity of the allies, which he had done at Chequers. He agreed with Senator Dausset that it was Im possible to stabilize French currency before the dehts, which were hanging over the country, were disposed of. But he added that he had no other means of action that repetition of the argument that In the common fight into which the allies had put their re sources In common, France was the heaviest loser. Senator Raymond Poincare, former premier. Interrupting, said that the Americans, when they were ready to ask for payment of the sum owing to them, would surely propose arrange ments running over a considerable number of years "and as long as we continue to pay, Germany must be made to continue to pay us.” KETTLE OF SOAP CAUSES BIG BLAZE Kxploslon of a boiling kettle of snap In th* laboratory of the Industrial Chemical company.

Factions in Fight Ov*!i Bryan’s Job Governor Certain to Offend Powerful Leaders Regard less of Candidate He Gives Support. Dahlman Out for Place Plans for the homecoming of Gov ernor Charles W. Bryan are not an unmixed joy to Nebraska democrats. The demand of out-stale leaders that the democratic candidate for gov ernor "must represent the farmers," has filled the cup of Joy with gall and wormwood. The fight for the nomination Is be ginning to take definite shape, as fol lows: James C. Dahlman, mayor of Omaha. J. N. Norton ef Polk Neither Dahlman nor Norton have made any statements. Htchcock Deal Worries Deader*. Friends of the mayor, however, have expressed their opinions strong ly. Norton Is out of the state but l.ia friends, too, have begun some ef fective work In his behalf. The big point that worries the dem ocrats Is the reputed deal between "Brother Charlie" and Messrs. Mul len and Hitchcock. If such a deal has actually been made Bryan is ex pected to say, "I’m awfully sorry,” to disgruntled Bryan adherents who are urging Norton. To Dahlman he will also say the same thing should the mayor's friends not he able to "convince" the former senator and his friend and barker. Mullen. Rryan All Powerful. Those who know the political sit uation In Nebraska say that Bryan will not be able to “get away" with such an explanation. "Brother Charlie” Is boss of the democratic party in Nebraska—he was boss before he went to New York —he Is now even more the boss. Therefore if he really does soften his heart and lay aside his scepter long enough to pass on the preroga tives of naming the democratic guber natorial nominee to Messrs. Hitch | cock snd Mullen, It will be because l he does It voluntarily. May Name Candidate. There's no doubt about this fact In the minds of political leaders who cov et the honor of stepping Into "Brother Charlie's" shoes. "Brother Charlie" Is thus In no position to tell disap- j pointed ones that he couldn't do a thing with the stale committer. ] which technically does the appointing. Such an excuse won't be accepted i Tom Allen, Bryan's brother-ln law, ! is chairman of the committee. The selection of the committee was left almost entirely to the wishes of Gov-1 ernor Bryan at the last democratic convention. This fact Is one of the many things "Brother Charlie" has toasted—he had gained complete con trol of the party machinery. Arthur Mullen and Gilbert M. Hitchcock were asking him for favors. In the last two days since demo crats at Madison Square Garden se lected Governor Bryan as running mate of John W. Davts of West Vir ginia, the Bryan boasts of power have acted as a boomerang to his friends who want to protect him from the embarrassment of turning down numerous candidates who have sprung Into the field. The fact that "Brother Charlie" can. If he will, name his successor has taken root too deeply to be unrooted at will by Bryan ad herents. Dalilman's Friends Insistent. In Omaha political circles friends of Mayor Dahlman are Insistent that the governor repay the mayor for the many kind deeds the mayor has per formed for the governor In times past. The mayor wns one of the first Bryan for-vlce president supporters In Ne braska In fact he urged him for (Turn to r«»e Two, Column One.) BRAZILIAN REBELS HOLD SAO PAULO By Associated Press.
