FIGHT ON CHAMP CLARK
HELD NEAR COLLAPSE:
Administration, 1t Is Said, Is Not
Opposed to His Being Mi
nority Leader.

Among well informed democrats of
the House who are yet in Washington it
was said today that the movement to
defeat Champ Clark for the minority
leadership in the next Congress is near
collapse.
1t was said that assurance has been
received from members of the Presi-
dents cabine: and others in high TAD
ministration" circles that the admins
tration has not demanded the elimina-
tion of Champ Clark and that there
is no intention of taking part in the
organization of the House.
The small group of anti-Clark work.
ers who set out to prevent his being
made minority leader have dwelt strong
ly upon the asserted opposition of the
administration to Mr.. Clark. Their
principal charge against him was al
legation of lack of sympathy with the
President, and this constituted their
principal argument for a change of
leaders.
1t was said today that in a short time
the attitude of the administration to-
ward the House organization will be
made plain in an unmistakable way.
and following that it is expected that
further activities of the anti-Clark men
will be deemed futile and will cease.
1T is claimed that the total strength of
the anti-Clark forces now is not more
than thirty out of the 195 democrats in
the next House.

Early Call of Congress

close to the President
who have seen him in recent days say
he is giving serious Consideration to
the condition of public affairs in the
United States, particularly the situa-
ton created by the failure of appro-
priation bills and the necessity for
calling an early extra session of Con-

1t is known that some of the Presi-
dents advisers are Of the opinion that

The fact that the United States

given rise to the suggestion that it
was the situation at home rather than
in Europe which might require the
early return of President Wilson to
America But, according to the view
President, his physical presence in
Washington is not essential to the
meeting of Congress or until the end
of June, when the appropriation bills
will be ready for his signature. 1t is
contended that the call for an extra
session can be issued here and the
work of the new Congress can pro-
ceed without the Presidents attend
ance.
The final decision depends largely
on the progress of the peace confer
