WASHINGTON, Oct. president
Wilson spent one of the most COM
Portable nights he has had and was
apparently improved, according TO
Secretary Tumulty today.
Senator Hitchcock, administration
leader, called at the white house to-
day and talked with Tumulty.
Democratic efforts are now center.
ed against beating amendments and
for this reason, he said, there is no
pressing need for President Wilson's
aid
When the question of reservations
comes up, however, the advice of the
president will be required.
TIE said the democrats are not
ready to accept reservations to save
the treaty.
IF the present delay developes in
TO filibuster, we will take measures
to head it off, Hitchcock said
