 While all official information stlll was being withheld today, 1t was un- derstood that the nomination Of MT Houston had been prepared, and unless some development arises at the last moment, it is expected to be presented to the senate within a day or two.
 The move would be the first trans fer of a cabinet officer from one de- partment to another during President Wilson's administration.
 Shifts were frequent in the admin istration of President Roosevelt, but all the changes in President Wilson s cabinet have been resignations.
 The successor to MT. Houston as secretary of agriculture has not been announced, but it is beleived he will be one of the men who have been identified with the work of that de- partment In official circles here MT. Houston is credited with having been willing to accept the treasury port folio when William McAdoo resigned. Before entering the cabinet MT. Hous- ton was a college professor al St. Louis and it is said that as secretary of ag- riculture he has been close on the in- side circle of the administration.
 Until today the name of Assistant Secretary Leffingwell was foremost among those being mentioned to suc- eeed Secretary Glass.

 Washington, January 2e.-Thc whole question of peace treaty ratification was flung back to the
 floor of the Senate with the vir-
 tuaI collapse today of the bi- partisan conference. The end came
 with amazing swiftness after Sem ator Lodge of Massachusetts, the republican leader, had informed
 democrats. led by Senator Hitch cock of Nebraska. that there could
 be no change respecting the MoH-
 roe doctrine.
 In the face of this. the democrats walked out for private conference agreeing meanwhile to make a reply to Senator Lodge early tomorrow
 First news of the breaking off oi diplomatic relations, so to speak, was given by Senator Hitchcock in state ment which broadly intimated that failure of republicans to give ground iii an effort to reach basis of com promise was due to the threatened re- olt of republicans. Senate leaders, in- cluding many ardently seeking an end to the long-protracted treaty debate frankly admitted tonight that they could see no hope of agreement. This means, they said. that the question would be fought out on the floor, be- ginning probably tomorrow.
 Senator Hitchcock declined 1o specu- late on the possibility of so early a renewal of hostilities. but most demo crats declared nothing was to be gained by further secret conference.
 Democrats discussed generally theii line of procedure and it was tenta- tively decided in the event of utter failure of the conference tomorrow tc r1 &@ the treaty agreed upon by democrats and insist upon a vote.
