HUGHES CERTAIN
ALL WILL ACCEPT
DAWES’ REPORT
Arrived at N. Y. Today
0 n Board Pres,
Harding After Visit
To Europe
(By Associated Prw.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 14,—Secretary
Hughes, returning today on the
President Harding after a month's
visit, in Europe, expressed the be-
lief that the Dawes reparations re-
port would. be accepted by all the
powers concerned an. "would “be
put into effect very soon."
Mr. Hughes said that. in his opin-
ion. acceptance of the Dawes plan
did not hinge upon the date of the
evacuation of the Ruhr, which
was reported today as having caused
a. split between German and French
representatives at the London con-
fercnce.
"Acceptance of the report,” he
' said, "will not hinge upon any such
hypothesis. Unquestionably the re-
port will be accepted."
Referring to dispatches stating
that newspapers of Soviet Russia
had charged that. his visit to Europe
was solely for the purpose of pre-
venting European countries from en-
tering into relations with the Rus-
sian government, Mr. Hughes said:
Dcnics Soviet. Charges.
“1 did not discuss Russian affair
over there." .
Mr. Hughes said there Was no
truth in reports that Myron T. Her-
rick, American ambassador to
France. would soon ‘resign. Mr.
Herrick, he said, would Visit the
United States in a short time, but
the trip was not to be taken as an
indication that he intended to re-
sign.
Mr. Hughes was accompanied by
Mrs. Hughes. Their rdturn was one
month and a day from the date on
which they sailed for Europe on the
Steamship Berengaria. Mr. Hughes
made the trip as a guest of the Arn-
crican Bar Association to the con-
vention which Was in session while
the London conference on repara-
tions was also in progress.
After visiting London and Paris.
Mr. Hughes went to Brussels and
also Berlin.

killing. but admits that he knew
that Deieo had been slain when he
left the room this morning. He told
the landlady that his companion
was not feeling well and would not
get up until noon.
He then took the landlady's child-
ren to a day nursery and returned
to the house. In the meantime the
body had been discovered. It was
laying on the floor beside the bed.
There were axe wounds on each side
of the head. extending through the
bone into the bass bf the brain.
Either one, in the opinion of the
Medical Examiner. would have been
sufficient to cause death. The bed
was saturated with blood: as was
the floor. A newspaper had been
used in an effort to clean the floor.
Sauna. admitted that he did this. He
claimed that the reason he did not
report the slaying immediately was
that he did not want to alarm'his
landlady. ‘ -
The axe with which Deieo was
killed was found hidden behind a
box of rags in a. corner of a bath-
room in the tenement. The blade
had been washed off but there was
blood on the handle.
