TO CONFER
ON TREATY
Administration Men Will De-
eide Whether or Not to
Compromise at Meeting
Wednesday Morning.
NO MORE AMENDMENTS
CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator
Hitchcock, administration leader, was
informed this morning by one of the
leaders Of the mild reservationists'
that he must deal with Majority Lead
er Lodge, and not with individual Re-
publicans. in negotiations for COM
promise. He also was said to have
been advised that any suggestions for
compromise must be made today in or
der to obtain consideration.
Senator Hitchcock later conferred
with Senator Lodge and asked that the
senate recess tonight, until noon to-
morrow, so the Democrats might hold
conference tomorrow morning to
consider their future course OF ac-
tion. Senator Lodge was said to have
operate to bring final vote Thursday
under the rule requiring the resolu'
tion Of ratification to go over one day.
1t was generally admitted before the
senate met this morning that very
few Of the pending proposals had a
chance Of adoption. The 13 reserva'
tions Of the foreign relations commit
tee already adopted represented the
maximum to which the mild reserva
tion Republicans had pledged support
but It was expected they would vote
for further qualifications regarding the
labor provisions and equality Of voting
in the League Of Nations.
While the senate managers hurried
debate under the cloture rule, there
were many informal conferences in
progress as result Of the final drive
Of the administration forces to break
down by compromise the majority res
veration program, which President
Wilson had made known he would re
gard as a rejection of the treaty.
The Democrats planned an early
conference to perfect details Of thei1
program which provided for voting
down the majority's ratification res
olution and then getting together with
the mild reservation group on some
sort of compromise.
