day, shows the Liberal leader returned

Even though local politics in Great
Britain are momentarily overshadowod
by international discussions, the re-
turn of the former Premier is recor

Mr.: Asquith's temperance will be
welcomed by all parties, for he is re-

men, and, speaking from the Opposi-

Britain's international and foreign

Anti-Tammanyites Spring
Surprise at Convention
By Naming Miss Colbert
AS Big Four Candidate
From Il Staff Correspondent

ALBANY, Feb. 5.-Anti-Tammany
women from up state surprised the
women's division of the Democratic
State Committee at its convention to-
Gay by giving an overwhelming plural
ity to Miss Elizabeth V. Colbert, Of
Albany, as q candidate for one Of the
Big Four" Miss Colbert's name vir-
tually was unknown to the regulars,
and their CONSERVATION was evident
1t was announced little before mid
night, after Charles f. Murphy, Nor
man f. Mack, Representative Thomas
F. Smith and John H. McCooey had
been in conference at the home of
Martin II. Glynn, that the chieftains
had decided that Miss Colbert could
rot be candidate.
''It was piece of extraordinary luck
that gave Miss Colbert the largest num-
Der Of votcs,' a Tammany man ex-
planned, "but we cannot put her on the
Big Four
Boom Starts for Smith
A bitter opponent of Miss Elisabeth
Marbury, who was Miss Colbert's
nearest competitor, agreed that Miss
Colbert must have been playing in
wonderful luck, because, she said, she
saw Tammany woman trying to stuff
the ballot box
Governor Smith is to head the "Big
Four" and the only other man decid-
ed upon tonight as a member is Oil
bury is the woman whom the Tammany
delegates want to see on the big
Four" In place Of Miss Colbert, they
want to put Simon w. Rosendale, of
this city, q former Attorney General
of the State
A boom for the denomination OF Gov
ernor Smith was launched at the con-
vention. The delegates indorsed him
for denomination, and Democratic lead
ers who had been in conference during
the day with Mr.. Murphy agreed that
he was the logical candidate.
They have outlined plan Of cam
paign for his reelection. 1t will be
largely an appeal to the "wets" of the
Republican party because of Mr..
Smiths advocacy Of referendum on
prohibition and his championship of a
liberal Interpretation" of the Eigh-
teenth Amendment.

owe are hoping,' said one Chat the
Republicans will nominate for Cover
'ioi oOiHSDouy VIII ildo SlOOO ny speaker
Sweet in his custer of the Socialists.
If that should happen it will mean a
walkover for Smith, for the Governor
has openly condemned the Speakers
act as a blow at representative gov
crnment.'
Talk of the coming campaign over
shadowed all else, even the selection
of the "Big Four" And there is
unanimous belief that the two big is
sues will be prohibition and Sweets
custer of the Socialists.
The women at their convention this
afternoon, relying on the promises of
the men, who will meet here tomorrow
and select the deleg egatcs-at-l large to the
convention and adopt plat
form, sent in the names of three women
who are cadidates for two of the places
The three, selected after vote at
the convention, are:
Miss Elizabeth Y. Colbert, of Albany.
Miss Elisabeth Marbury, of New York
City.
Mrs. John sherwin Crosby, of New
York City.
Miss Colbert received the highest
of votes in contest in which
seven women were rivals. Her total
was 8S. Miss Marbury had A2, while

One day in the latter part of Novem-

late been showing the way to many
desirable notifications of this coun-
ery,s attitude toward Germany, Russia
and Ireland and other vexatious
problems, on which at the last general
election the successful Unionist ma
Jorlty took drastic popular stand
and from which it has constantly been
forced to recede by degrees ever since
December, 1918.
The press comment is unanimous in
approval of the result, with the ey-
ception of "The Daily Herald" Mr.
Asquith's plurality was larger than
was expected, but the poll was 10000
larger than the general election. The
women's vote apparently was about
evenly divided between Mr.. Asouith
and Biggar. ''
The former Premier owes his snc-
cess to large extent to the election
eering of his daughter, Lady Bonham
Carter, who has received invitations
from seven constituencies to stand a.
Liberal candidate at the next cleo
ton. There is q strong desire sx-
pressed among Liberals to have her in
the Commons as foil against Lady

On Treaty to

Hitchcock Declares Cove
nant Is Doomed; Refuses
to Call Caucus and His
Followers Talk of Revolt

From, Tho Tribanc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The final
chapter in the Senate's consideration
Of the peace treaty with Germany will
start tomorrow, when Senator Lodge
will call up the pact. again and keep it
before the Senate until it is ratified
or ratification is defeated for a second
time.
The Democratic Senators will be
without a program when the treaty is
taken up. Senator Hitchcock to-day
refused to call a Democratic caucus,
and each Democratic Senator, as re-
suit, is left free to vote as he wishes
on the remaining reservations and on
final ratification
Senator Hitchcock explained that he
would not call the caucus that Sena-
tors Simmons, of North Carolina; I'm
derwood, of Alabama, and others asked
him to call, because he did not think
such action would help ratification
Senator Hitchcock entertained gloomy
prospect for ratification, and declared
he could not see any hope that the
treaty would be ratified
40 not DelleVe the treaty Will be
said Senator Hitchcock. mo
progress is being made. There will be
no disItegration of the Democratic
forces until the final vote on ratifica-
tion is reached, and then not enough
Democrats will go over to the other
side to ratify the treaty. There will
positively be no caucus before the
treaty is voted on"
Senator Hitchcock's attitude caused
many Democratic Senators to talk re-
volt against his leadership, but al
though several Senators declared they
we're willing to accept the Lodge res
ervations if they could not obtain rat-
icatlon on any other basis, there was
no indication that the support of the
twenty-n.ne Democrats whose votes
will be required to ratfy on the basis
OF the Lodge program, could be secured
by the friends of the treaty
The mild reservationists" said to-
day that they still hope to secure some
of the Lodge reservations
Senator McNary, of Oregon, leader of
the group, said the Importance Of last
vote, when an amendment
to the reservation on withdrawal offered
by Senator Lodge was defeated, had
been exaggerated.
