HIRAM Johnson
REFUSES OFFER
TOHEAD SENATE
Notifies Progressives He
Will Not Accept Pro
Tenn Presidency.
WARREN BLOCKS PLANS
Declines to Step Aside So
Smoot Can Get Finance
Chairmanship.

There were two developments Of
Importance yesterday in the contro-
versy between the Progressives and
the Old Guard Republicans of the
nate as to whether or not Boies
Penrose. of Pennsylvania, shall be
made chairman of the finance COM
mittee-
First. Hiram Johnson. of Califor-
mia. notified the Progressives at
their conference yesterday after
noon that under no circumstances
will he permit them to nominate
him for the pro tempore presidency
of the Senate.
Second, Senator Warren. of wy
oming. who aspires to be chairman
of the Appropriations Committee.
announced definitely and positively
that he will not accept the chair
manship of the Military Affairs
Committee in order to permit SEN
ator Smoot. of Utah. to head the
Committee on Appropriations. as the
Progressives demand
Aids Cummins' Chances.
Senator Johnson's refusal TO stand
for the high honor of being President
pro TEN means that the Progressives
will put forward Senator Cummins, of
Iowa, as their candidate. 1t Is prob
able that the Old Guard will accept
Cummins and give him the place,
in addition TO making him chairman
Of the Interstate Commerce Commit
tee, which will handle all railroad
/ egislation.
Senator Warren's determination to
get the Appropriations Committee
Craftsmanship or nothing makes it GER
tain that there will be a pretty lively
scrap when the Committee on Com
mittees gets down to work. This
committee is to be chosen by the Re-
publicans at their caucus, which is
TO meet at IL o'clock this morning.
The Progressives do not want War
ren to get the chairmanship of the
Appropriations Committee: they want
Smoot to have the place. because they
believe that Smoot's record as a
Treasury ''watch-doG'' wiD bring
about more more systematic pruning
of appropriations measures than
would Warren. the latter having had
the craftsmanship about six years ago.
Warren Proves Obdurate.
InaSmuch as Warren has first call
on the Military Affairs Committee
chairmanship. as well as on the
craftsmanship of appropriations. the
ProgreSsives believe he should take
the former and permit Smoot to have
the other.
But Senator Warren declines even
TO consider acceptance of the Military
Affairs Committee Craftsmanship.
There are a number of reasons. chief
among them being the fact that in
any controversy which might arise
between Gen. Pershing and the gen.
eral staff. the Senator would not like
to be placed in the position of decid-
ing either way. in view of Pershing's s
family relationship.
Wndsworth Has Place.
Furthermore, Senator Warren is OF
