BRITISH STAND MAT SHATTER DEBT PARLEY The Hague Conference Is on Verge of Complete Breakdown. BY FREDERICK KUH tnittd Pres* Staff Correspondent THE HAUGE, Aug. 9.—The international political and reparations conference stood on the verge of a complete breakdown today as a result of Great Britain’s ultimatum demanding a complete revision of the young plan. Political experts here feared that nr>le** Philip Snowden, British chancellor of the exchequer, was prepared to suggest a solution to the crisis which was brought on by his own statements and demands at Thursday’s session the whole negotiations would collapse. No Compromise, Is Edict Snowden virtually declared Great Britain would not compromise and that before she would comment to discussion of other matters she would first have to be satisfied on three important points in connection with the Young plan—a change in the reparations percentages in favor of Britain, a revision of the unconditional payments which Germany will make to the allied creditor powers, and a reduction of the amount of deliveries in kind. In fact, the situation appeared so serious today that a number of the German delegates to the conference, while reluctant to believe that the British Labor party would be willing to bear the responsibility for a collapse of the current conference, could see no way out of the present situation. In summing up the crisis the only thing the German delegates w'ould say today w r as that if a fulfillment of Snow-den s demands envisaged an increase in Germany's reparations burdens bej'ond the Young plan, the reich representatives were not willing even to discuss the matter. Suspicions Arc Aroused The suspicion of the Germans has been aroused considerably through the revelation that before the reparations conference in Paris the British, Italian and French financial experts held a conference in London to discuss methods of procedure and that they had reached a general agreement. This fact came to the surface Thursday night when Snowden declared that the delegates to that secret conference had promised that the Young plan w’ould not change the existing Spa agreement regarding the distribution of reparations. Henri Cheron, French financial minister, sprang to his feet and told | Snowden that he did not know of ; any such agreement. The Italian | delegate. Signor Pirelli, asserted, j however, that Snowden had niisun- j derstood the agreement then reached. All of which left the German del- j egates wondering what the conference. of which apparently they had heard for the first time, dealt with besides t' c distribution of reparations and left them more oa their ’ guard then ever before.

TAMMANY GAINS PQWERJN N< Y, Hylan’s Withdrawal Improves Walker’s Chances. Bu United Press NEW YORK. Aug. 9—Thfl chances of Tammany Hall to retain its grip on the city government appeared to be even better today aa both Republicans and Democrats continued to fill out their municipal slates. Political observers were almost unanimous in agreeing that withdrawal of John F. Hylan as an independent candidate for mayor would improve Mayor James J. Walker’s chances, which betting commissioners already are quoting at 8 to 1. In his withdrawal yesterday Hylan threw his support, to Walker and Tammany. Representative Fiorella H. La Gpuardia, the Republican designee for mayor, refused to be discouraged over the Hylan coup. Meanwhile, La Guardia was facing another problem in the form of a threatened revolt on the part of the dry wing of the Republican party. The constitutional campaign committee continued its drive against La Guardia’s anti-prohibi-tion view's.
