November Seen as Probable Choice at Conference of Leaders. Speaker McGinnies and State Chairman Morris for the November election vs. Senator Wadsworth and Representative Mills for June 8. That's the lineup on the wine and beer poll date dispute which the G.

0. P. leaders hope to end in conference at State headquarters today. Indications shortly before noon were that McGinnies and Morris would win and that the referendum will not be held until November. State Chairman Morris is understood to have made it plain that since June 8 is not a legal holiday there would be little hope of getting out anything like the total Dry strength in the up-state counties.

The State chairman is arguing, too, that the expense of a special election would be open to criticism, especially since the representatives in Congress, who are supposed to be the beneficiaries of the poll, will not meet again until after November, when they have adjourned their present session. The advocates of June 8 for the poll fear the Wets will contribute heavily to the fall campaign the prohibition issue is being decided and that their contributions will be used to help the Democratic candidates who are Wet.

You will appear before the entrance to Furnace No. 6."

Not even the date--June 31-has indicated to them that the whole thing is a joke.

Washington, April 3 (AP)-A note declining the League of Nations invitation to the World Court Conference at Geneva will be forwarded early next week by Secretary Kellogg. Dispatches saying that surprise had been caused in Washington by the action of the League in sending a circular letter to court members asking them to be represented at the conference, on the Senate's World Court reservations, meanwhile, have brought expressions of astonishment from officials at Geneva.

"Merely Routine Compliance." The sending out of the invitations, they explained, was merely a routine compliance with the League Council's decision to arrange a -table discussion of the reservations. The suggestion in the letter that Court members, in replying to munications from the United States laying before them the Senate lutions, indicate "the difficulty of proceeding by way of a mere exchange of notes and the neeed of general agreement," they added, was quoted from Sir Austen Chumberlain's report on the subject unanimously adopted by the counsel. "Require No Explanation." some unexpected die development might It is, course, possible that cause the President to change his mind about the Geneva Conference, but at present he sees no reason to alter the method of direct negotiations with the 48 court members that was initiated by the State. Department to determine whether the United States shall enter the World Court under the Senate reservations. They require no explanation, he feels, and, besides, the Senate itself voted in favor of such procedure.

Survey of Philippines. Turning his attention to the Philippines, the President has appointed Carmi A. Thompson of Ohio, a close triend of Governor General Wood and former Assistant Secretary of the Interior and Treasurer of the United States, as a special commissioner to make a survey for him of conditions in the islands, particularly with a view to development of their almost untouched natural resources. Mr. Thompson plans to leave in June, accompanied by a group of experts, and expects to have his report ready for the president to submit to Congress in December.

Expect to Hold It, Anyway. Geneva, April 3 (P)- News that President Coolidge opposes American participation in the proposed Geneva conference on the Senate's World Court reservations caused surprise and regret in League of Nation circles. The League has not been informed of Mr. Coolidge's attitude other than through the press digpatches, but it is said that, should the United States decline to send a representative to Geneva in September, the conference will be held anyway. The ten governments represented in the council's committee are expected to attend, since they agreed to Sir Austen Chamberlain's resolution of conviction, and it is believed enough other states will agree the suggestion to make the conference a possibility.

League officials reiterated today that the League merely, wishes to prove helpful in reaching a satisfacditions to America's adagreement, concerning the conherence to the World Court.

When asked what read one of his lawyers, Joseph Freedman, remembered that he was partial to the Literary Digest, the Forum and the American Mercury. He has also written a number of sonnets which are in his cell and which Mr.

Groehl will not consent to make public at this time. How does he look? The best description of him given by a man who saw him throughout his trial is this: He has a beaked nose, high cheek bones, a good chin and his dark hair has retreated from the front of his head so that he appears to wear a black cap set upon the back of it. This is a detail which you do not forget. His eyes are brown and cold. His voice is very soft.

He wears glasses. He is about 87 years of age. Wethersfield, where he is confined, is about four miles out from Hartford and reached by trolley car. It is a two-story row of buildings, some of brown granite and some of red brick, which looks less like a jail than a factory or machine shop. There is no stone wall or iron fence in front of it, but a wide lawn overlooks Wethersfield ave.

Unless the hand of aL more merciful fate intervenes to stay the rope, Wethersfield's most interesting and mysterious prisoner must die some time before dawn on Tuesday morning next.

Although Whittemore has stated that "they may hang it on me' in Buffalo, he has steadfastly refused to admit any connecton with the Bank of Buffalo murders in which Lewis Yarington and Charles Clifford were shot to death by robbers who made off with $93,000.

Drastic Part of Selling Move Ended, Says Moody's "Two interesting features are the speed with which this downward movement has progressed and the complete impotence of the bonuses and extra dividends which were so stimulating to the market a few months ago," says Moody's Weekly Review. "The late over -extension of Wall Street commitments and the feverish gelling out by pools and speculators account for the rapidity of the decline. Our Industries and our nittional and corporate finances are in sound condition. "Presumably, too, the more drastic part of the liquidation for the whole bear movement is over.
