F Washington, Jan. 23-President
Wilson's long delay In naming secre-

his successor so that he might assume
his work In the senate, is declared to
be pledged for Senator Underwood Of
Alabama for minority leader as op-
posed by Senator Hitchcock of Me-
braska, who has led the treaty fight
for the administration.
At the recent party caucus It was
agreed that Mr.. Glass should not vote
because he hadl not been sworn in az
senator and the contest for leadership
resulted in q tie between Senator
Hitchcock and Senator Underwood,
