CAUCUS WAITS

Settlement of the minority leader

Wilson has announced the successor
to Secretary Glass 13 Secretary OF
the Treasury and until the latter has
teen sworn in as Senator.
II was learned authoritatively last
night that those who are supporting
Senator Underwood for minority
leader are unwilling to have a caucus
called until Senator Glass is sworn in
and entitled to cast a vote in party
caucus.
As a SeRator-elect, Secretary Glass
was present at the Democratic caucus
held a week ago at which Senators
Hitchcock and Underwood received an
equal number Of votes. AT that time
Underwood supporters were countins
upon the votes OF Senators Hoke
Smith and Glass. 1t was figured that
the Alabaman would be elected with
a margin Of safety>of two votes.
Sens tor s.th's ss.sasal to ,,oto;spd
the fact that Glass could not vote
until he had been actually sworn in
resulted in a deadlock.

Underwood hackers declare Senator
Johnson is not committed to either
faction, and express the belief that
Senator Hoke Smith will cast his vote
for Underwood at the next caucus.
In order to be safe. however. the
Underwood ringleaders will block all
attempts to call a caucus until Glass's
cabinet successor has been appointed
and the Virginia Senator. who will
