Hitchcock cares to press the matter. Sen
ator Borah said he would be glad TO
have an investigation that would get
to the bottom Of the whole business and
determine just how copies of the treaty
had got into the hands OF people and
interests that has very special concern
about its contents and were in position
to benefit by advance information, while
the Senate and the public were denied
access to the document. For himself he
had the promise of a copy Of the treaty,
to be delivered to him Thursday morn

was coming to him.
Gossip in Senatorial circles during the
day was to the effect that copies of the
treaty are In possession OF three great

Reports that were circulated during
the day regarding the contents OF the
treaty were even more startling than
those that had been bruited about the
chamber the previous day. The general
opinion was that It would be impossible
for the Administration much longer to
deny publicity to the treaty. even II MT
Borah did not carry out his threat to
have It read into the record. Democrats
were greatly agitated over the disclose
