WASHINGTON CONFERENCE.
THE MYSTERIOUS DOCUMENTS. ; SHANTUNG NEGOTIATIONS. Elec. Tel. Oonyrißbt United Press Assn.) .From the Special Representative of the Australian and N.i. press Assn.) I (Received January 4, 2.30 p.m.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. Mr. Hughes replied to M. Sarraut I that ho was gratified to find that the French Government formally denies having come to any agreement or carried on any negotiations concerning tho status of Siberia. Mr. Hughes says that he is glad to accept tho statement that the documents aro not authentic. The State Department denies that there are any documents on the file confirming the Chinese state-., mcntH, and no official information to Admiral Ito in any sort of way confirming the story.
There was certain activity to-day in Chinese and Japanese circles. While it is probably technically inaccurate to say that Mr. Hughes'"and Mr. Balfour's good offices have again been invoked in the Shantung matter, there is little doubt that British and American observers arc endeavoring to bring the two nations together again.
