Brussels, Nov. 7.
Mr, Norman Davis, chief American delegate to the Nine-Power Conference, fought almost single-handed through yesterday's deliberations to save the conference from being "buried," it was revealed to-day.
Mr. Davis succeeded in manceuvre ing the Conference into an agreement to reconvene on Tuesday, instead of taking a longer recess, and in blocking temporarily the appointment of a mediation committee, on which Italy is most anxious to be represented. Mr. Davis was pictured as having little enthusiasm for giving Italy such representation. Signor Marescotti, Italian chief delegate, left the meeting.
The note sent yesterday to Tokyo, strongly upheld the right of the Con ference to intervene, Immediately the text had been agreed upon, France objected to Mr, Davis' suggestion that the Conference re-convene on Monday. The latter curtly replied that a great amount of work, was ahead, and that time should not be lost.
The majority of the small powers supported the United States, and it s finally agreed to re-convene on Tuesday.—United Press,
