BERLIN, Dec 20.--The commercial

must be either the negotiation or
new commercial treaty between these
two nations, or the continuation OF
the tariff war which threatens the ex-

The situation has become so serious
that a special meeting of the Amer

passed calling attention of the Amer

DISSENTION IN
WILSON CLUB

TRENTON, N. j., Dec. 20.-Bitter
dissention among the members of the
Woodrow Wilson Club has placed
Governor Wilson in the unique po-
sition of being unable to secure an
enlargement for the Democratic pres
idential nomination fr4l the nrst
club organized for his support In
New Jersey. The board OF governors
a few days ago decided to recon-
mend a resolution endorsing the gov
ernor for the nomination. but the an
ti-Wilson members succeeded In
keeping the news of the action out
Of the newspapers. In the mean
time they have been quietly working
TO bring about the resolutions de-
feat.
The anti Wilson men started a
movement to change the name OF the
organization some time ago, when.
instead OF accepting the clubs invi-
tation to attend its annual outing,
Governor Wilson addressed meet

The three Justices. Lurton, Vande-

cussion it was decided that their con-
nection with the company was so re-
mote that 1t could not be construed as
influencing their judgment.
The same question arose several
