HARDING READY TO REPLY
TO SENATE TREATY QUERY
May. Give Answer Concerning Lans-ir.e-tahll
Agreement Today
Washington, Mnrch 7. (ny A. !.)
MAYOR SITS BACK
ON HARDING VISIT
Executive Committee Takes
Reins in' Conference With
President en Fair
CONSIDERING R0K OFFER
Be n Staff Correspondent
Washington, March 7. Overshadow
ing interest In the implied premise of
President Harding te i-end a message te
Congress cnlling for Federal recogni
tion of the Philadelphia Scsqui-Ccn-tenulal
a premise which was expected
Is the furt thnt the Executive Com
mittee of the Scsn.ul. Centennial Asso
ciation hae asserted itself nnd caused
the withdrawal of Mayer Moere ns the
dominating fncter m the affairs of the
committal.
This fact was widely commented en
today by these who watched the course
of the committee in its call ou the- Pres
ident last evening. Assertion of the com
mitteemen, who are leading Philndel
phians and net men long accustomed te
being Ignored certainly net men who
would stand for the designation of rub
ber stnnips was plainly revealed by
their actions nnd the authoritative part
they played in the presidential confer cenfer
ejke. In brief, the presidential conference
developed two points of tremendous sig
nificance for the fair.
First, that the President, as seen
as he has received the -Jnti from Mayer
Moere nnd Governur fepreul, ns the ofli efli
clal heads of the city and Stntc, will
urge Congress te accord Federal recog
nition se thnt nations of the world may
be invited te participate in the 130th
celebration of the anniversary of the
Declaration of Independence.
Second. Thnt the Legislative Com
mittee, composed of Alba IJ. Jehnsen,
president of the Chamber of Commerce :
Lieutenant Goveuner Beldleman 1
definitely out of the race for Governer
because he accepted the famous SetKW
check when State Treasurer Snyder waa
Auditor General, Senater Vare said this
afternoon en his return from Flerida.
The Senater, tanned by the sun and
peppery and spirited in his remarks,
arrived nt Ihe West Philadelphia! sta
tion at 1.20 o'clock, bringing a full
fledged boom for Harry A. Mackey for
the Republican nomination far Gover Gover
eor. Acceptance bv Beldleman of $5000 in
State funds aside from his salary as
Lieutenant Governer, the Senater Inr
tlmatcd, blasted the Dauphin County
man's hopes of elevating himself te the
executive chair.
Anether element that makes Beldle
man unacceptable, the Senater con
tinued, is the bitter feeling against Bel
dleman among women voters.. The an
tagonism was caused by Beldleman's
vitriolic ppeeches against woman suf
frage in the' State Senate in' 1013 and
1015.
Senater Vare said he has been ad
vised that If Beldleman decides te dare
the resentment of the women voters
women leaders arc preparing te
broadcast Beldleman's entl-sulfrnge
speeches."
"Fisher Beem Reflating"
Senater Vare mid further that the
boom for State Banking Commltslener
Fisher is rapidly deflating and that it
docs net amount te much.
Senater Vare. discussing the appoint
ment of Victer Roseweter as publicity
director of the Sesqul-Centcnnlal, said
that Mayer Moere should have held
the place for himself, et the end of
.his term, because, said the Senater,
"he can make mere out of nothing in
the way of advertising than any man
I ever knew."
Senater Vare intimated for the first
time that there was scarcely any ques
tion about his Bunnertlnc Senater Pen-
ner for the unexnired term of Senater
Penrose, though it Is understood he feels
mat tne new senator a nuituae en ine
bonus nnd his Albany speech praising
Bess Barnes were net geed politics.
The Senater also said thnt probably
bis friends would support Senater Crew,
indicating thereby that It was net cer
tain that Crew would run. If Crew
does run the Vares will be for him.
Vere's boom for Mackey is based
en an understanding that Roosevelt
Progressives of 1012. who were led by
William Fllnn. will turn In for Mackey
and net for Glfferd Plnchet. In this
the Senater hopes te make an alliance
with the old Roosevelt men and halt
the formation of an independent State
ticket. Such nn independent ticket, the
Senators feels, would be put in the
field by such men as Flinn. if Beldleman
was the organization candidate.
Kept Well Informed
Varc's declaration against Beldleman
plainly Indicates thnt when W. Harry
Baker, manager for Beldleman, called
en Vare nt the St. Lucie Clubhouse,
he was advised te take the Lieutenant
Governer out of the race.
While the Senater was Seuth, nearly
every important Pennsylvania who
was in Flerida stepped ever for a
ehnt. Sennter Vare appeared te knew
the state of affairs Just n. intimately
ns If he hnd been in Pfiilrt Vlphla.
The Sennter was met hi newspaper
men In his stateroom en the Flerida
Special, when it arrived in Washing
ton aids morning. He was In his shirt
sleeves and were a golf can. With him
were Mrs. Vnre, his children, Flera,
Dorethy. Geerge and Ablgnll, nnd Miss
Catharine Cox. of Roxborough, a
schoolmate of Miss Flera Vnrd

Vare declared that the Philadelphia
