Most Probable.

international News Seryice.)

Open revolt was sweeping the
wavering ranks of the Democratic
side of the Senate today.
Defiance of President Wilson was
voiced by Senators hitherto counted
on as staunch Administration sup
porters. They declared they refused
to stand any longer in the way Of
the Peace Treaty because of the
Lodge Reservations.
Hitchcock Losing Hold.
The Administration leadership of
Senator Hitchcock OF Nebraska was
again threatened because OF his re-
fusal to call a conference of Demo
cratic Senators to determine now
many of them favored acceptance OF
the Lodge reservations rather than
continue to block ratification.
Even hitchcock did not attempt to
di isguise the gravity of the situation.
He stated he did not consider a con-
ference worth while because he was
still convinced there were not enough
Democratic Senators willing to vote
for the Lodge reservations involving
Article X and the Monroe doctrine
substantially as they are to insure
ratification.
Comedies "ClOsep Division.
He conceded there was a CLOSE" d.
vision OF opinion among Democratic
Senators as to whether It would not
be better to agree to the Lodge reser-
walton program than have no treaty
at all, but he evidently believed 1t
would he better to have those on the
Democratic side vote or otherwise eI-
press themselves individually. on the
Senate floor than risk a conference
that would probably be far from har-
monious.
influential leaders on the Demo-
cratic side like Senators Simmons OF
North Carolina and Underwood OF
Alabama vainly asked Hitchcock to
call a conference II only to permit the
treaty situation TO be discussed.
other Democratic Senators who are
in complete disagreement with
Hitchcock declared he was opposed
to calling a conference because he
knew he could not control it. Hitch
cock said he would not object to call
ing a conference IL he thought ii
would accomplish anything.
Strives Against Serious Break.
Hitchcock was confident, apparent
ly, he could continue to hold enough
Democratic Senators in line to pre-

kETcH PERFORMS FIRST
ACT AS ADMINISTRATOR

Ardmore. okla, Dec. 6.-The first
official acts of Frank Ketch, admin
istratcr for the Hamon estate was
to ask the court to set aside an al
lowance for Mrs. Hamon and to close
out some cotton that was held on
the market by the late Mr.. Hamon.
The cotton transaction involved 5000
bales and the deal, it is said, was
closed at profit of $99,700 to the
estate.
Mr. Hamon left no will, but his
business affairs have been in the
hands of Mr. Ketch. practically all
the time since the dead financier
came to Ardmore, and he perhaps
knows more about the affairs of the
estate than any man who ever asso-
ciated with Mr. Hamon. All business
affairs of the Hamon interests have
been transacted in systematic man
ner, and no trouble is anticipated in
settling up this big estate.
All the Hamon interests will CON
tinue in operation under the direction
OF Mr., Ketch.
