Hampton Moore to become a majoralty candidate ap pears to be at hand. Unless the unforeseen occurs Con gressman Moore will be a candidate His declaration to that effect will be made in a day or two. Has Many Callcis For the last fortj -efght horns he has had the question under discussion with political leaders of both factious and captains of indiistr.'. Great pressure has been brought to bear upon him. Ills office has been the JUccca for vitrd leaders and members of the committee of one hundred for two dajs. If he decides to become the standard - bearer of the Independents I do not think that be will make any explicit declaration agaiust the ares as po litical leaders. Senntor Pentose has tcpeatcdly stated that his oigauization, the Republican Alliance, will not in dorse a candidate miles he declares flatly against the Varcs. He reitejratcd this declaration jcsterclaj. Under con ditions, however, which have developed within forty-eight hours he may modi fy his view and be content with a less drastic platform. Moore to Matte Demands In jiclding to the tremendous picss ure brought upon him. Congressman Moore will make certain counter de mands of the partj. What these aic will develop later in the campaign. "Anjbody is free to vote for whom he pleases at the primaries," said a Republican leader jesfcrday. I mcrcl.v quote this to indicate the attitude of tcitain politicians. Congressman Moore will receive n heavy vote in the Martin -Lane wards. Senator Martin and the venerable David Lane, the schoolmaster of the Repub lican party in Philadelphia, huve de clared their regularity They have an nounced in newspaper interviews that they would abide bj the decision of the Republican citj committee in the choice of candidate. Notwithstanding this, they might be as regular as a steel square, and jet their districts would poll heavily for Moore ! Wh ? Serves Rest Intetcsts It was simply impossible to override Moore's popularity. As tVtr congress man, and I am quoting the petfectly plausible and self-satisfjing nrgument of any discreet ward leader under nnj advance issue for the organization at the primaries, "he knew every man of i . Importance in the district,' lie Intel ' served the interests of eciy business man and manufacturer. He is the most popular congressman in the tit. That explains his big vote." Dissecting the large vole that Con gressman Moore would uudoubtcdlj ic ccivo due to his popularity, his effi cient carerr as congressman and tin outpouring of Independent "voters, added to which would be the solid majority controlled by Couneilmau Scger and his lo-worker Charles II. Hall in the Sev enth ward, it would not require bj any means an overwhelming vote iu the Martin-Lane districts to tide tho con gressman to victor. A majority of. the Vare organization, even though start liugly reduced, would be evidence of the "regularit " of Messrs. Martin and l.nnr, The attiudo of the regular organ! ration, controlled by Senator Vare, by the logic of the situation will be an tagonistic to Mr, Moore. It could not well be otherwise unless the party ac cepts hint perforce on an implied basis of fair play. With, however, a square defiance lluug ut them bj Mr. Moore Continued on rate Kit tit.

"It would requite eight trams of ten cars each to move the two regiments of 8000 mnrincK alone, and this would be rather n difficult proposition to haudlc. The two marine regiments in the Sec ond Division are still under command of the army and do not come back to the command of the marine corps until the War Department has returned them to their enmp nt Quantleo.

In its hearings on economic sections of the Versailles treaty, the Senate foreign relations com mittee got into a sharp argument to dav over the league of nations, during which Chnirman Lodge declared re pented attempts to secure information on the league from President Wilson had been unavailing. "The President." said Senator Lodge, "hus never offered to come be fore this committee. He only sent a telephone message sa.ving he would be glad to have the committee come to the White House.

Chairman Raps for Order Senator Fall, Republican, New Mex ico, lemnrked that the committee did see the Picsidcnt nt the White House on his Hrst return from France, .but failed to secure from him any important information. Democratic memhers of the committee replied nnd the argument became so sharp that (he chairman had to rap for order.
