WILSON WILL NOT
 BE A WITNESS Committee Investigating "Insidious Lobby" Will Not Call President. QUESTION SENATORS They Will Re Taken in Alphabetical
 Order But President
 May Be Heard.

Washington, May 31.-President Wilson will not be asked to appear before the Senate Committee charged with the duty of investigating the charges of the executive that an ''insidious lobby" has been influenc ing senators against the free trade provisions of the Wilson, Underwood tariff bill.
 The Judiciary Committee to whom the Cummins resolution as finally emasculatcd by the Democrats was referred, met this morning and ap- pointed a sub committee to conduct the inquiry. Those who will make the attempt to uncover the lobby, the President says exists, are Senators Overman, Walsh and Read, Demo- crats, and Cummins and Nelson, Re- publicans. The presence of senator Nelson on this committe gives promise 
 is a general belief, however, that President Wilson will insist upon coming before the Committee. The hearings will be public. A set of questions adressed to each sena- tor was prepared this evening. The first meeting will be in alphabetical order After senators having res- bonded the committee will determine whether it may be necessary to sum mons further witnesses. It is under stood there is at least one man on this subcommittee who will have to cross examine the President should he appear and fail to submit concrete instances of what he believes to be lobby work, or furnish names of those engaged in the bushes upon which his charges were made.
