Paris, July 17, Beeults of the Allled

The eonf erenee," remark St. Brie in

Pertinax, political editor of the Echo

saying: "Notwithstanding its evasion,
th conference teem to contain more
possibilitie favorable to Franc than
the result w bar recorded seem to
indicate." -, . ,.
The Figaro take th most gloomy
view, asserting: "The least that can he

Thousand pf Waahingtonion and
generous sprinkling of National figures
(for a dull season) were at th Union
station to greet th nomine. United
8tate Bens tors,' Federal and district
official and a larg outpouring ef slub
woman, who formed a giant human aisle
from th station gate to th waiting
automobiles, ' welcomed V Demenmey'

As he stepped f torn th train, h was
met by Judge Timothy T. Ansberry, his
close friend, and his running mat,
Franklin D. Boosevelt, who had been

gate to th tracks. Other to welcome
him as he stepped from th train in
eluded Senator Ashurst, Fletcher and
Sheppard, Alabama's Senator-elect, Tom
Heflin, Cy" Camming and a score of
others lee well-known. - " r
A loud ehout went np from th crowd
that had managed to get outside the
gate to Governor Cox' train an-he
stepped from his ear to th ground
floor. Hs shook hands with th most
immediate part ef ths .reception Una
after which he began the battle with a
dosem camera men waiting to "shoot"
him.. . ' i. '' . , "v " L'
Th light with th movie men and th
tilt photographer T renched pugilistic
proportions as ths Governor passed out
of th station and on to the ear wait

Hundreds of women on cither aid of
him joined in n noisy demonstration
to th nomine a h walked . through

strong for yon. Governor," cam loud
enough for th echo to sound en Capi

The Cos enmpaiga ia a reality now.
It began with his arrival here today.
and the party can wish for nothing
greater than that it move with the nam
precision and ' publia approval - as evi
denced by th thousands who welcomed

station were not impatient. They were
there to giv a royal welcome to a na
tional favorite and they did it in good
styl.
Talks To Newspaper Men.
After thia reception Governor Cox
went direct to the horn of Judar Ans
berry where he will be during hi twenty
fonr hour visit her. He had planned
to talk to the . newspaper ' men nt four
thirty but there wa such a swarm ef
them at th atatioa who wasted to
"trail" on out to Judge Anserry's horn
that hs readily assented when it was'
suggested that the hear be changed. -
Formalities over, h launched right
into hi business. J -
"I hnv nothing t say, boy. hs be
gan, "except that I am here for th par-
pose or visiting ths President. I dont
know , that that eireumatanea need anv
explanation. H know more ef interna
tional affairs than any man in this
country that X know anything about."
Ho was asked about hi campaign
plans, if he would go through th South
and visit North Carolina, Georgia and
Texas. .-
Likely to Ttolt South.
I thought it would be very arrseious
to go through the South" Governor Cox;
answered. "Not that it to. necessary," he
added, "but I eee nothing undignified
in carrying the onus to the people"
- Th plan of th coming campaign,
he said, to ths "newspaper " men, will
be discussed at the meeting ef th Na
tional committee ia Colombo next
Tuesday. It will atari immediately aft
th notification and aeeeptane cere
monies, probably the first, or risen d
