' ; 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 man. ' 1 y ' - . , - 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.

"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 a very last resort. - ' ' 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 collection of political funds on a permanent and certainly on a most healthy, basis. We .are all very anxious that this become an achieved ffcti .. , . .' ;.

To this end we ae 'going to make a public appeal for funds and in this effort I want your help. Tha, suc cess of the appeal will be of in estimable benefit to future' party fi nancing and will go far in aiding far efforts to place the business pol itics en the highest possible plane."

"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. . , .

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.
