DEMOCRAT LEADERS
ASK VICE-PRESIDENT
TO HURRY TO SENAT TE
MARSHALL CALLED BACK BE
CAUSE HIS VOTE MAY BE
NEEDED ON AMENDMENT

Washington, Sept. 2O.-Democratic
leaders in the senate challenged to-
day the claim Of republican opponents
of the league of nations covenant that
enough pledges had been obtained to
secure adoption of Senator Johnson's
amendment designed to equalize Brit
ish and American voting power in the
league assembly. While they express
ed supreme confidence and predicted
at least so votes against the amend
ment-enough to defeat these sen.
ators finally got in touch with Vice
President Marshall insisting that he
return in time for the first real vote
on the treaty, expected next week.
The message to the vice-president
was sent after Senators Hitchcock Of
Nebraska, Swanson of Virginia, Walsh
of Montana, and other democrats had
discussed the situation at length.
They agreed, it was said. that while
the vicepresident might not need to
exercise his right of voting to break
a tie it would not hurt to have him
in the chair.
mild" reservationists, some of
whom claimed to hold the balance of
power, were active, comforting and
counting noses to see how many
of their number would vote against
the Johnson amendment. Some of
their claims ran as high as eight.
Both sides We're expecting help from
this group, but there was no certainty
as to how the majority might line up.
Senator Hitchcock said today that
every effort would be made to hasten
consideration of the treaty because of
the "insistent demand" from business
people for final settlement. There was
no indication, however, as to how soon
a vote might be called for on the
Johnson amendment which will be the
first test of strength. This may be
expected just as soon as one side or
the other figures that the time is ripe
from its standpoint.

termination to force forfeiture of oil
lands by foreigners was given today by
Ira Jewel Williams, a Philadelphia
lawyer and an officer of the Panuco

ALLIED SHIPS GUNS
TURNED ON F|UME, IS
REPORT FROM BERLIN
D'ANNUNZIO MAY BE GIVEN n
HOURS TO MOVE HIS FORCES
OUT OF THE CITY

Paris, Sept. 2O.-Capt Gabrielle d.
Annunzio may be given "a hours to
move his forces out of Fiume, upon
which city a squadron of allied war
ships has turned its guns, according
to advices received here by way Of
Berlin, Liabach and Vienna. 1t is in
indicated that this ultimatum will
come from the allied powers, repre-
sentatives of which are reported to
have conferred at Abbazia, about two
miles northwest of Fiume, to which
place they retired when Captain dan
nunzio entered the latter city.
In peace conference circles it is in
timated that the settlement of the
question of the disposition of Fiume
has been complicated by the d'Annun-
2io coup, but the Italian delegate
insist that n decision is being delayed
because of the fact that President vii.
son has not answered definite pro
posals made by ltaly's representatives
here. Americans assert that the Ital-
ians are constantly changing the de-
tail of their offer and that, for this
reason, an answer so far has been inn
possible.
Advces from Rome asy that the
Duke of Aosta, Il close friend of Cap
tain d'Annunzio has conferred with
King Victor Emmanuel and Premier
Nitti, and it is suggested that he may
act as mediator in an effort to bring
about an abandonment of Fiume by
the d'AnnunZio forces.
Fiume is closely blockaded by land
and sea, but there are stores in the
city sufficient to maintain the people
and troops for three months. Captain
d'Annunzio is reported to have with
him many members of his famous aer-
ial squadron which fought on the Aus
train front during the war. The ltal.
ian government, however, has order
ed the magnetos Of airplanes at all
aviation camps removed so that no
more machines may go to Fiume.
