By EDWARD E. KITTON. (By Special Leased Wire) Washington, Sept. 18. There U more !a tht talk of recess for Congress bo ginning early in November than ap pears on- the surface. Boras dtyt ago it waa stated in this eorrespondfnee that the Bepubliraa program w" foT a aesiion of a little over a month when tha. Republican House reconvened and that there would come another sd- "Journ nnrTeTTo3rilt"tr -TrowtraWSS out that the quiet propaganda lor tnis quick recesi plan hai the aupport of tha Administration behind it, and that the real reason for it being put forward la to be found in the meeting of the . reduction of armaments conference here on November 11, and the fear of the Harding forces that there will be too much alkce talkee going on in Con great that will tend to embarrass the American delegates in the conference. And so it is that President Harding it rather looking upon Congress as being a white elephant on his hands if it is in session during th conference. Here's where the rub comes in. There is. a fight for an open session of the con ference which it appears will fail, but that there will be a concession to be open door advocates in which there will be statements issued from the Vnited Jitates delegates and delegates from other nations. Diverging views will be lieralikd from the housetops of pub lieity, and members of Congress will also have their ears to the gruuud to get at what is going on in the confer ence. Thia will bring talk on the floor of both houses, and the Harding forces look wtih great misappreltension upon possible utterances from -Congressional lips that will prove of embarrassment in dealing with dctegarw ot other na tioas. Ho there is held to lie a need to muzzle Congress' for the' time being and the easiest, indeed ibt only way to aaoszls tha possible exuberant or pessi mistic orators will be to shut np the Bob and that toot out of commission Congressional talking for a while, ot least uaUil the eonference gets welt under wav. The idea of Senators Borah and Hi Johnson and La Follette "bust ing out'' into disarmament talk during the conference gives the administration forces the cold shivers. Hence the plan to have Congress close its daors iuz t season nntil the reduction of arma ments conference gets safely estab lished. Resignation Rimer Persists. The attempt to lay aside the ghost of the rumored resignation of Secre tary of the Treasury Mellon proves to be a failure for it has come forth again iu larger semblance and is a going con eern. Indeed it is the report that sources close to the administrative fay that Secretary Mellon has definitely de cided that ho will get out of the cabinet. f c;urse, there is a pish a .id a tuh (i'.ver any id. that Mr. Melta? will re sign in any rleije or bit of tamper because he has been twice given the ha ha, of Republican lenders in Congress s) to his n.rtns for taxation nnd his not yet been able to have himself marked as the sole nd undisputed arhilor on the I fnnoLK of the foreign debt qhostiii;. Nothing like that, of course, but the rumor bobs Up with the report that "Mr. Mellon proposes to get out for per sonal reasons, that he has been a very busy man, that ha has been overworked, l that hie own business interests need his attention, and that any way he in tended to stay only a limited time in the Harding cabinet in order to get the Dkaneial machinery in running gear. Tha real reason, however, that will bring his resignation if it comes is that Con gress his paid but theAeanticst atten tion to hint as their financial advisor.

GEORGE REIMS FIRM IN POSlTiOr ASTOCOFERENC English Premier Repeats Dec laration That Ireland Mint " , Stay In Empire CANNOT NEGOTIATE ON ANY OTHER BASIS NOW Telli Da Valera That He Must Withdraw Request That Delegate! Come At Repre sentatives Of Sovereign and Independent State Or die There Can Be No Conference Ijondon, Sept. 18. (By the Associated Press) David Lloyd George, the Brit ish Premier, in a telegram sent today to Eamonn de Yalera delcred that un less the Irish leader's claim to the right to meet the British representatives s the head of an independent, sovereign state is withdrawn, a conference wit!i the Sinn Fein dclegatees is impossible. J-he text of his telegram follows: ''I have received your telegram of lost night and observe it docs not modi- -f y-te e4ainr that yeur delegate! aHofft meet us ns representatives of a sover eign and indepepndent state. "You made so tuch condition in ad vane when you came to see me in July. I invited you then to meet me, i nthe words of my letter, as ehosen leader of the great majority in southern Ireland, and you accepted the invita tion. "From the very outset of our con versntious I told you that we looked to Ireland to owe allegiance to the throne and to make her future as a member of tho British commonwealth. Tha! was the basis of our proposals, and wc cannot alter it. ''Thu status you now claim in advance for your delegates is in effect a repudi ation of that basis. I am prepared to meet your delegates, as I met you in July, in the capacity of the chosen spokesman for your people to discuss the association of Ireland with th British commonwealth. "My colleagues and I cannot nice the mas representative of a sovereign anj independent state without iltsloyal ty on our part to the throne smd the Empire. I must, therefore, repeat that Unless the socond paragraph of your letter of the twelfth is withdrawn a conference letwee us is imposible." The second paragraph of Mr. De Valera's letter of September 12, to which Premier Uoyd Georjre aludee'fo his latest telegram, is at follows: "In this final note we deem it oar duty to reaffirm that on r position is and can only be ss w i htve defined it throughout this correspondence. Our nation has formally declared its in dependence and recognizes itself at a sovereign State. It is onJy as repre sentative! of that State ami as its chosen guardians that we have authority or powers to act on behalf of our peo pie. As regards the principle of gov rrnmeat by consent of the governed, in the very nature of things it must be the basis of any agreement that will achieve the purpose we have at heart that is, the final reconciliation of our nation with yours. We have suggested no interpretation of that principle save its every day interpretation, the sense, for . example, in which it was under stood by the plain men and women of the world, when on January S, 191H, you said: "'The settlement of Europe must be based on such grounds of reason and justice as will givo some promise of stability. Therefore, it is that we feel that government with the consent of tho governed mjist be the basis of any territorial settlement ih this war.'" NO STATEMENT ISSI ED IN REPLY TO PREMIER Dublin, Setp. 18.-(I the Associated Press) When Premier Lloyd George's telegram arrived tonight it was too lat.; to siSsimon a cabinet meeting, and, ac cording to the publicity department no Statement could be issued tonight. Mr. Lloyd GeorgVs request for with drawal of the offending paragraph of Mr. de Valera's letter it believed to involve the resummoning of a full meeting n( the Dail Eireann, for when Mr. Lloyd George originally afforded aa opportunity for private withdrawal by Mr. De Valera the cabinet preferred to submit the matter to the Dail Eire irnn. The paragraph was then specially discussed and unanimously approved. Called ia Texas By Death. Statesville, Sept. 18.

From Z err Section Of State Will Be Here Today To Urge Ap pointmenlOf Carthage Man; Geography Alone Now, Be lieved FaTorable To Warren One final effort will be made by Gevernor Morrison tn induce Attorney General M.mninto accept appointment to mceeed the late- Associate Justice W. R. Allen today, and delegations of lawyers from all over the State will appear before the Governor urging the selection of Judge W. J. Adams, of Carthage, for the place. Certaintv of the appoint ment of StaMXluurjnmJamJu.B, .AYaijmdA dined sharply yesterday afternoon. The Governor has made no secret of the fact that Warren is not his first choice. and that if Judge Manning declines new overtures made Saturday, he would like to name the Carthaginian. Geographical reasons alone are said to Incline the Governor to Warren if Manning declines. Waning support of Judgo Adams swung upward ngain yesterday. I-awyers in all sections of the State have urge.) him upon the Governor; if not aa his first choice, as Ins second if Manning refuses to consuler the new reipichi made upon him to adept the place. Reports coming to the city last night indicated that the Adams delegations here teday would be very powerful. Manning And lurkson. Had Jildze Manning beeu willing to ai-ecpt the appointment, he would h:ne already assumed the du'ies of the aso iNate justiceship, and Heriot Clarkson, Morrison's manager in two primary campaigns, and close personal , friend and advisor, would have ueceeiled him as Attorney General. He is now ia Charlotte taking part in the "million dollar law suit'' in-which tho Governor was retained before he assumed rifflrr." Adams and the Governor h:ive been life long friends, coming from' she same tectioa of the State. The fact that h lives in the m-iJdls of the State, neither definitely "west ' nor definitely "east ' is satd to be the only reason that will hinder the Governor in deciding in stantly in his favor if Manning refutes further. Numerically Adams is sai4 to have a ponderous majority of the' lawyers of 'he State among his endorsers. He has distanced every one of the 21 mn in the field, cvon after ndliug the cn dorsements of the other 2H together. They will be in Kalvigh today, nnd as one ooserver rcninmc'i lasi nigni. "Morrison will be a smart man if he gets by that delegation today without naming Adams.'' Warren Forres Hopeful. Though confessing themselves some what nonplused by tho apparent eb bing of the tide, supporters of WV.rre'i were not disheartened last night, uiul declare themselves firm in their faith that ho will be the Governor's choice for the Associate Justicesh-. He has' the backing, though udmittt'dty not unanimous, of a large number of lawyr and party leaders in the east, and this, with his geographical situation, his friends believe, will put him over. Significance wn attached by sonic to the f.et that Senator V. M. Simiei:i was due to arrive jn New Hem last night, though friends of tho Senator m lintnined that be is standing hands off. He has, they say, no inclination to become inxolved in a situation ovfr which there is ns much difference of opinion as there is in the right for the appointment, when thei is no ;iarto-ulir necessity for his intervention. Adams Has Support. The Adams strength has been mar -hailed quietly during the past few dayt. Such men ns W. N.'Evenit, of Rockingham, recognized ns one of the Governor's closest friend, politically snd personally, nnd other tiien in the Sandhill section from which Adams comes, have been actue ii. bis h, half. Whether their efforts "ill bp rewarded depends upon the decision of Manning, snd whether the Governor will fiirg-: his geography. Thu Governor went to Durham yes terday afternoon for a viit to rolatne, and will be back in Ins office this morn ing in time to receive such delegations as the day may devlop. It is expected hero that announcement of the nppoin ment wiU lie made in time tor tint new appointee to take the oath of office to morrow morning when the oiirt c.a venes for thewerk.

This announcement wss officially made Ivy H. M. Jewell, head of shop crafts organizations at a muss jueoUng of Chicago shop workers todny. BelieV that n stronger ight eoulfl be made if a strike is called, with preservation of the shop men's working rules as one of the goals, led to ths decision to withhold a strike call for the present, Mr. Jewell said. He snd other union speakers counselled tho men to watt until the entire wags and rules situation was before them, rather than rush into a strike which Mr. Jwett--lueleTed the railroad man agements desired. Rrsl Fight On Rules. "We can make a real fight on 'tha rules proposition when we might not have the full support of other branches of railway employes on a wagn fight, alone,'' Mr. Jewell'said. "If we want to protect mir best interests, we must wait until the timo is opportune. Hut if the labor board releases nil the re maining rules to be acted upon at one time, then we witt have the" whole mat-" tor before lis. We will need, only one voio-to ficcept or reject the rules--to determine, what will' be done." . This announcement was greeted with applause nd questioners jumped up in nil parts of the li nil to press far fur ther details.

Against Wan; Reduction The strike vole, completed August 1, "as announced as thou ing a constitu tional majority against the wage re duction which went into effect iuly 1. This was the first official confirma tion of the result which has' been " rumored for some time. Condemnation of the operations of the labor board and of its decisions was voiced by all speakers nt the meeting. Mr. Jewell charged that the railroads were at tempting to use the board to take an unfair advantage of the industrial situation. The board's method of draft ing rules to supplant the national agreement, a war titpe measure, nnder which the employes work at present, was asserted to be impractical because only seven of the 1S4 rules have bees substituted. Mr. Jewell said he would demsnd of the board that "for once, it meet a situation in a practical way," snd announce the remaining rules tiniul taneniisly Instead of piecemeal. "When the board announces the tub stititte rubs, our committee will take a ballot," Mr. Jewell said. "If the rules are not satisfactory snd the bal lot says so, we Will take the result to the railroads. If they refuse to grant our reasonable demands, they will have to stand responsible and answer to the American people.'' N. I'. Godo, chairman of the Penn sylvania system Federation of' shop crafts, said he thought that ths Penn sylvania had been selected to mko a light for the open shop ns the first stop in sioh nn agreement, on all railroads.
