FOREIGN COMMITTEE MAY
NOT HEAR PRES. WILSON
Administration Officials Hear Majority Of Body Are Hostile
to Suggestions for Appearance.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July Is.
-Intimations that President Wilson
will not be asked to appear before the
senate foreign relations committee to
discuss the peace treaty were said to-
day to have been received in admin
istration quarters. High administra-
tion officials intimated that they have
been informed by some members of
the committee that the majority Of
that body seemed hostile to sugges-
tions that the president be asked to
appear or the committee confer as a
body with him at the White House.
1t seems likely the president will be-
gin his tour Of the country speaking
for the treaty and the league coven-

asked before the committee.
The foreign relations committee
later adopted resolutions requesting
the president, if it is not incompatible

dent, made the award June ~, 1919,
