Less Than Half a Dozen
Votes Against Annexa-

Washington, Sept. THE treaty pro-

There was no roll call, and less than
half a dozen Senators. including Sena-
tors Norris, Jones and Clapp, voted

Favorable action on the treaty at
this session of Congress had been
strongly urged by the Administration,
particularly because of the influence 1t
might have upon the situation in DEN

Of Parliament has approved it, fight
is being made against ratification IN
the upper house.
The vote tonight followed several
hours Of debate in executive session

conference report on the emergency

journment of Congress. Finding that

COLONEL TAKES
LEAD FOR HUGHES
Continued from page |

Oyster Bay. Il was stated at first that
Hitchcock visited the Colonel at the
request Of National Chairman William
Il. Wilcox. who wanted the Colonel to
assist in the campaign generalship. II
developed later, though, that the Colo
mel himself had sent for Hitchcock and
Perkins, and that Hitchcock had an
important message to convey TO the ma
tional chairman as result of the
Sycamore Hill, meeting. That message,
it may be said was substantially that
Theodore Roosevelt would get into the
campaign in earnest and carry the
Hughes standard wherever the fight
seemed TO be thickest.
Just where the Coloncl's six or more
speeches will be delivered has not yet
been decided. The Colo1cl'5 friends
who watched his performance IN Maine

in the campaign; that it carried CON

way toward lining up the Progressive
vote. The Colonel was fired with en-
thusiasm in that speech. and the feel

continue the effort throughout the
campaign.
Aim at Progressive Vote.
Frankly speaking, experienced Re-
publican observers believe that they
must make stronger efforts 10 corral
the Progressive vote throughout the
Middle and West and Western states.
II is there that the ColonePs fire IS
needed. This election, II IS generally
conceded. will be determined by that
large element OF former Progressives
who will return this year TO one or the
other of the old parties. Il will be "A
two-par'y fight from start 20 finish.
And 70 bring this now floating element
back to the Republican fold is the task
ahead Of the Hughes managers.
So far as the general plan OF cam
paign il concerned, much depends upon
the outcome OF the Maine election.
The strategy Of both parties will be
determined 10 a considerable extent on
the signs in Maine. II has practically
been decided. however. that for the
present. at least. tho so-called doubtful
states will be passed up by the Repub-
lican managers, while they devote their
concentrated attention TO the big
fighting states which must be car
ricd in order TO insure the election OF
their candidate. Republican managers
do not concede that any states are
doubtful" They term them fighting
states" instead
On this basis, the Colone's endeav-
ors. so far as is now ascertainablc,
will be directed chiefly TO campaigning
for Mr. Hughes in New York. in lndi-
ana. Illinois. Ohio and other Middle
Western strongholds.
New York Will be the principal bat

leans. The rest Of the East. with the
exception. possibly, Of New Jersey, Is
believed to be comparatively easy.

serving there. Secretary Baker favors
giving all the state troops a chance for
