gratulation received today by Gox . 1 Position . Later he resorted to the ! James M. Cox. democratic presidential pick and table fork and there the wif nominee. The wire asked for an im- decidd u w as tlme to break off rclamediate reply and the governor an-

nounced it would be given in due time but would not indicate Just what or when this would be. It was learned today that after several flephone conversations with the president's private secretary. Joseph P. Tumulty, that he has decided to visit Washington for a conference with the president. But the party's nominee, he is now its titular head and it Is quite natural that'a conference should be held with him and President Wilson as the present head. Hobson's telegram was as follows: "Dry forces are restive republicans amongst them are applying to Harding for strong statement. Do not let these forces have cause to crystallize on the highest republican candidates. Ninety-five per cent of population of America live in states that have ratified eighteenth amendment without reservations . They are Jealous of its in tegrity.
