the Council members might semetime
be wrong, but' the City Controller's
figures were always right.
Assails Research Bureau
Ilnll then mnde n job at the Bureau
of Municipal Research and called it
"a fake bureau." Ne matter what is
started by the progressive members of
Council, he continued, the ntmesphcre
is poisoned by the Administration.
The Vnre leader In Council then be
gan his personal attack en the Mayer.
Hail said he was willing te support
anything helpful te the citizens even
if the Mayer favored it.
"But It Is nnether question." he
went en, "when he proclaims himself
the titular head of the party and re
sorts te slimy, low, cheap BlUlngsgatc.
He's get te be crucified. He's get te
be crushed. He is the defunct, solf self solf
preeMlmed head of the party. That
is where he belongs and that is where
he will he kept."
Visions of the 100,000 mnjertty rolled
up by the Combine nt the primary

assembled at their headquarters, Elev

There was a great whetting of knives
for the Admlnl tratlen and n self-praise

CHEERS FOR SINN FEINERS
By the Associated Press
Londen, Oct. 11. Representatives of
the British Government nnd the Siun
Fein met nt 11 o'clock this morning In
Prime Minister Lloyd Geerge's official
residence. After n session which lasted
until 1 o'clock the cen'crence was ad
journed until luter in the afternoon.
There seemed te be u disposition te
consider the sending of an Invitation

meeting, and it wes possible that such
n step would be taken.
) Uistcr has thus far steed aloof in the
negotiations between the British Gov
ernment nnd the Sinn Fein, but these
seemed today te be some sentiment In
favor of calling both Northern and
Southern Irishmen together in an ef

hed gathered in Whitehall, at the end
of historic Downing street. The vi

there were a large number, represent

The crowd gave the Sinn Felncrs a

timbered gntcs wh'ch were erected some
mouths age at the entrance of Dewn'ng
street, when there was apprehension
that an nttack might be made upon the

A number of Sinn Fein flags were
displayed by these who cheered the dele
gates. Sinn Fein emblems, sold by
Englishmen, wcre worn by many. One
young Irishman held aloft a p'acard

Washington, Oct. 11. Ex-Senater
Elihu Reet will errive here tomorrow te
take up his residence for the coming
disarmament nnd Paefie conference
Upen his establishment in this city
the American delegation wi'l meet reg
ularly nnd prcparntlen for the Interna
tional gathering will begin. As Mr.
Reet is the only member who can give
nil his time te the work, it is expected
that he will play nn Important part In
forming the organization for the con
ference. Wherever Mr. Reet has sat in the
past has been the head of the table and
many think here that he, rather than
Mr. Hughes, will be the dominant force
in the American delegation. Yeu en
counter this Idea among foreign repre
sentatives here, diplomats regarding
Mr. Reet as much mere practical In the
field of international relations than Mr.
Hughes.
Reet and Hughes In Contrast
These two men. who by nbl'lty, ex
perience nnd authority overtop their as
sociates en the American Commission,
present a sharp contrast. Mr. Hughes
shouts from the housetops, Mr. Reet
works quietly In the sub-cellar. The
Secretary of State has mere talent for
publicity than any btatesmnn who lias
come te Washington since Theodere
Roosevelt, differing though he docs
widely from the late ex-President. He
bus been Immcncly valuable te Presi
dent Harding, Mere than uny one else
he has put ever the present Adminis
tration with the public.
Mr. Reet is the worst publicity man
in the world. He spent tee much of his
life working for clients who shunned
pub'lclty ever te learn the ways of
present-day politics.
Old Washington correspondents tell
a story about Mr. Reet as Secretary of
War. Vast criticism wns appearing
In the press of the American Army's
activities In the Philippines. Mr. Reet
was silent. Ultimately he made a long
address, bringing out the truth.
The correspondents who bad advised
him te present the facts from day te
day through them went te him again
and said that by following their advice
he could have killed nil the scandal as
it arose. Mr. Reet seid : "Perhaps
you nre right." But he never mended
his wnys, never took the public Inte his
confidence.
Hughes Uses Publicity
Mr. Reet likes te work quietly with
men behind the scenes somewhere. Mr,
Hughes likes te talk at them through
the press. All his life he has used the
force of public opinion te bring about
Ills ends.
Mr. Hughes is net at his best in dcnl
ing man te man. Always the parallel
of Wilsen occurs te mind as win think
of Mr. Hughes. There is n difference.
Mr. Wilsen is en IdenlM who hates
te face the fact of human incorrigibility.
Mr. Hughes is a logician te whom the
persistence of life In refusing te he
logical is awkward.
The Secretary of State once said te
me when he was en the Supienie Bench :
"I like jud'ciul work. I de net like
executive work. 1 like te have all the
facts before me and the principles und
te have nothing te but apply the
one te the ether." K as an uncon
scious self-revolution. . likes te live
in" n sort of human vncuuni where logic
does its perfect work, which it docs
net in the world of men.
Fer Mr. Hughes there is something
puzzling about the world, if does net
move nefferding te formula. The answer
is net, in fact, the answer which you
find in the hack of tin- book. Other:
men's minds proceed by hum-lies nnd I
intuitions, his by reason. This mukes
him suspicious,
Hurt by Ills Suspicions
One hears much quiet talk in diplo
matic circles of his suspiciousness, lie
bus elwuys been suspicious. As Gov
erner of New eik he was simpc-mis I
of the Republican politician and ended
by making a mess of the Republican
party in the State. As a candidate for
President his inveterate distr"-' ' (
