Senator Hitchcock arrived In WASH
ington today, and after receiving
both congratulations and commisera.
lions issued a call for a democratic
caucus for next Tuesday to settle the
long pending leadership contest.
Now that the Nebraska primaries
are over and the peace treaty Is back
at the White House, Mr.. Hitchcock
has lost interest in the minority.
leadership of the senate and says he
does not care a rap II Senator I'm
derwood does beat him.
This new indifference on Mr..
Hitchcock's part was taken as con-
firmation in some quarters that the
Nebraska senator's main object in
holding on to the leadership was to
use the influence of that position to,
whack Bryan in the Nebraska pri-,
mary fight.
Mr.. Underwood is reported to have
fight for denomination on his hands
in Alabama, and the program now II.
to transfer the leadership to him
under the doctrine of distribution OF
power, where 1t will do the most
good.
