New, York, Nov. i, An 'appeal
for contributions (to make up a de
ficit of approximately $1,500,000 in
the campaign fund of the republican
national committee was sent out to
night "by VfH H, Hays, its chair

The appeal, Addressed to the "re
publicans of the country 'and all
those who aided them" called atten
tion to the report of the treasurer
tiled yesterday in yashington, point
ing out - that i although . the, buying
power of the dollar, was materially
less than in ..1916, the 1920 campaign'
had actually been conducted at less
expense than theHughes campaign
four years ago; ." ' V
Mr. Hays accompanied his . plea
for further funds' by an expression
of highest praise for the spirit '.of
republicans during the campaign.
More than 50,000 individuals con
tributed about - $2,000,000 to the
fund,, he sail. .' J
Total Cost $3,500,000. v
The" presidential campaign ' this
year cost . approximately $3,500,000,
exclusive of pre-convention expendi
tures, he wrote, leaving a net de
ficit . of "nearly -$1,500,000., This he
declared, might be. promptly made
up by popular . subscription v" . in
amounts les.s thaii thf $1,000 limit
set during the campaign.
"It was apparent some weeks be
fore the election that the $1,000 cam
paign would not result in'an amount
equal to our budget,", the statement
continued. "It was not wise to risk
any substantial change in the iplan!
or ,the campaign ana we aia nor
want to raise the limit. It was de
cided then that we would go through
fwith every economy' consistent with
tiuue the raising, of
money until
any deiicit was. met
Of course,, the easiest r way, t0
liquidate this indebtedness would be
to appeal to a" limited number of
generous republicans who could give
subsantial amounts. XTJiis could
have been done before election; it
could be done now, but this policy
I am unwilling to adopt except, as

' ' Collection' in Firm Basis,
' "It is my firm belief that the $10
campaign - in the last days of the
1916 campaign- and the $1,000 limit
of 1920 have finally placed popular

healthy, basis. We .are all very

Dublin, Nov. 23. All train serv
ices in and out of Dublin were re
sumed this morning, after the city
had passed a quiet night following
Sunday's bloodshed and the raiding
activities of yesterday. The curfew
law was strictly obeyed.
The night, however, did not wit
ness any letup in the work of the
military, who were continuing their
minute search of the city, presum
ably for suspects in connection with
Sunday's assassinations. Before ihe
curfew hour several of the streets
were surrounded by barbed wire
barriers and the soldiers examined
all persons passing.
) Patrols Guard Roads.
Strang military patrols manned
every! bridge and road running out
of the city of Dublin last night.
Even persons holding permits were
not allowed to pass the lines.' Re
ports reaching the center of Dublin
indicated that virtually the whole
military establishment in ' this dis
trict of Ireland was employed in
maintaining this cordon.
Late in the evening the strict
guard placed around the city made
absolute the paralysis of 'traffic m

Sunday suspending all railway serv

' Soldiers Made Raids. ,'
In the meantime, soldiers were
conducting scores of raids through
out the city, reports reaching news
paper offices showing that all classes
and' types of residences and' other
premises were being searched. The
raids were attended by more than
the usuai amount of incidental
clashes. It seemed certain that
many casualties had marked the
day's activity. '
Crown forces which went to
Croke park on' Sundav afternoon in
an effort to arrest alleged gunmen.
were fired upon by pickets, and as
a result of the resultant fighting, the
crowd inside the park stampeded,
said a statement issued at Dublin
castle late tonight in reference, to
the incident at the park. ' 'f
Shooting Was Arranged.
"It. had been arranged," said the
statement, ''that when the grounds
had ben- surrounded, an -officerr with
a megaphone would announce to the.
crowd the intention of the military
to . search persons in the park for
arms, because it was the belief that
men. associated with the murder of
14 officers Sunday morning were
hiding in the crowd. . , .
An officer was detailed for that
purpose, but before the crown forces
could approach the fietfl they were
fired -upon by pickets. Thus the

Means of Carrying 1 Out As
sembly's Armenian Help
Resolution Prtives to Be '
Huge Stumbling Block.
Geneva, Kpv. 23. (By The Asso
ciated PressO A clash between the
council and the assembly of the
league of nations on the question of
carrying 'of the assembly's resolution
)f yesterday for intervention in the
Armenian situation loomed , up as a
possibility this forenoon as the as
sembly met for today's session.
, The subject of Armenia was early
to the fore, the chairman announc
ing the makeup of the committee to
examine into the details of the event
ual intervention. The committee
was headed by Lord Robert Cecil
of the Union of South Africa dele
gation, who is a strong proponent
of help for Armenia, and had on
its membership list likewise Rene
Viviani of France, whose eloquent
plea yesterday swept the assembly
into unanimous approval of the reso
lutions for action on the subject.
The other members announced were
Senator Henri La Fontaine of Bel
gium, Dr. Fridtjof Nansen of Nor
way, Honorio Pueyrredon of Argen
tina and Signor Schanzi of Italy.
The respective powers of these
bodies is looming up as one of the
biggest questions before the assem-'
bly. The clash this subject
would naturally come in discussion
of the, report of the organization
commission in regular course, but it
could easily be precipitated by re
fusal of the council to carry out any
resolution of the assembly. It was
known last night that the council
iad met, put had taken no action
witty regafd to the-Armenians reso
lutipn, and Mr. Balfour's attitude
after the meeting was taken to indi
cate that he was in no hurry to urge
the council to such action.
