PRESIDENT HAS
ILL GUESSING
ON TjBTf
Wilson Plays Lone Hand
Without Consulting Even
His Closest Friends.
FLAWS FOUND IN
VETO MESSAGE
Pad to Be Kept at While
House at Least Until
After Conventions.
By DAVID IAWROCE.
WASHINGTON. D. C May 29.
President Wilson has not merely
his political opponents but his
friends guessing as to his next move
In the treaty situation but unless the
president changes his mind abruptly
his present maneuver is to keep the
treaty of Versailles in the white
house until the two political conven-
tions have met and declared them-
selves and a new disposition is mani-
fested toward the document or until
the American people have shown by
their votes that they sustain or repu
diate the present membership of the
senate.
The Republicans were eager for the
president to act on the Knox peace
resolution. The Democrats did not
filibuster or engage in prolonged de-
bate but hastened the resolution to
the white house. The Republicans
expected the veto but also expected
the treaty to come back to the sen
ate with a statement of the reserva
tions he would accept. Then having
selected senator Henry Cabot Lodge
to make the keynote speech at the
Republican national convention the
expectation was that the Massachu
setts senator wouki atscuss tne
phraseology of reservations and that
the issue would again appear to be
only one of language.
Walts on Republican Action.
At any rate ft is believed that the
people at the polls would not be able
to distinguish between the Demo-
cratic and the Republican kind of
reservations and that the treaty
Question would be lost in a maze of
controversies over domestic policies.
But the president is unwilling to play
Into Republican hands. He plans to
make it as uncomfortable as possible
for bis opponents.
He Is waiting to see what the
Republican national -convention
with a temporary chairman advo-
cating ratification of the treaty
with reservations will do about
the nomination of a man who de-
nounces the whole treaty reser-
vations and all namely senator
Hiram Johnson or Thllander C
Knox.
Mr. Wilson has consulted nobody in
the senate and has worked out his
own strategy. His tactics are not al-
together pleasing to his Democratic
colleagues but they admit that he is
playing a bold hand and may suc-
ceed eventually in keeping the treaty
issue clear cut by retaining the Ver-
sailles pact at the white house.
Accepts Action as Final.
Several senators of the Democratic
side who are not particularly in favor
of the president's supposed plan do.
nevertheless see various grounds
upon which Mr. Wilson could justify
his action.
The president as disclosed by his
veto of the Knox resolution accepts
the action of the senate in failing to
pass the peace treaty itself as final.
He argues that there is no need for
him to send the treaty back that the
senate has notified him that it cannot
pass. He appeals from the senate to
the American people.
He wants a new senate. On the
other hand. If the American people
sustain the present senate next No-
vember Mr. Wilson can tarn over the
development of foreign policy and
treaty and all data there on to the
next president of the United States.
It begins lo look certain that
Woodrow Wilson will never with-
draw his name from the treaty of
Versailles or negotiate a separate
peace with Germany. He regards
what the senate has tried to do In
the way of n peace resolution as
an "Ineffaceable stain on Ameri-
ca's honor" and with that state-
ment he rests the car..
If American people differ from him.
they can say so at the polls. Inci-
dentally Mr. Wilson will have his
say In the Democratic national con-
vention at San Francisco. There is
no doubt that he will write the plank
on the treaty issue himself and that
he will then state the case for or
against reservations making distinc
tions tnen on tne su eject oz nuimy-
ing or interpretative re ervat ns. He
has the advantage over the Republi-

122 G. O.P. Convention Votes
On Chicago Contest List
CHICAGO. HI May 29 Decisions
in four or the contests among
delegates to the Republican na-
tional convention probably will settle
all of the disputes which involve 122
seats members of the national com-
mittee said today. Precedents in four
major rulings will govern the points
raised in the other cases it was
said.
At national headquarters it was ex-
plained that the contests naturally
group themselves into four classes.
The first comprises fights for con-
trol of state organizations in the
south.
The second Includes those contests
in which the issue is control of the
state delegation by rival candidates
for the presidential nomination.
Tho third will involve the "Illy
white" southern question and the
last the fight for control of state or-
ganisations in northern states. There
are only two contests in this last
class one from Minnesota and the
other from Missouri.
Clarence B Miller secretary of the
Republican national committee is
here with the briefs. National com-
mittee will begin consideration of
them Monday. Four days it is esti-
mated will be required to finish all
of them.
Aside from the contests in the tenth
Minnesota (Minnepolls). and the
fourth and fifth Missouri districts the
contests are from southern states.
List of Contests.

pared by secretary Miller shows

handled either by the national com-
mittee or the state delegations in-
volved is the elimination of 5 "ex-
cess" delegated from 10 states where
more than the allotted number of
delegates were chosen with fractional
votes.
In these 10 state delegations 117
delegates were certified to the con-
vention with only sixty-one available
seats. The states that have elected
too many delegates according to sec-
retary Miller's records are the fol-
lowing: v Kansas eleven delegates for six
seats: Illinois 10 delegates at large
for six seats; Iowa. 12 delegates for
six seats. Mississippi eight delegates
for six seats: Missouri eight delegates
for four seats. Nevada 12 delegates
Wilson's Idea Of Campaign Issues
With Outline jOf Possible Platform
Made Public In Letter To Senator
WASHINGTON D. C May 29 The
conception which president Wil
son has of the issues of lie
1920 campaign are further made plain
today as a result of a letter ho
wrote to senator Glass made pub-
lic late yesterday wholly endorsing
the Virginia Democratic state plat
form which Glass wrote.
The league of nations pianx. wnicn
declared for ratification of the
treaty "without reservations wnicn
would Impair essential integrity" was
nartlcnlarlv commended. The presi
dent also singled out for praise the
platform's declarations on finance and
reconstruction which included a gen-
eral proposal to revise tax laws and
deplored agitation for "an indis-
criminate bonus" for soldiers of the

Disagreement Over Admin
istration Causes Changes
n Officers.
KM. ROBERTS general manager
and John Regan assistant gen-
eral manager of the chamber of
commerce resigned Saturday. The
resignations were effective at once.
Both men expect to leave El Paso
tomorrow but announced that they
had no plans. The resignations were
accepted at once by president C N.
Bassett.
The resignations of Mr. Roberts and
Mr Regan came as the result of re-
cent plans under which Dewltt A.
Bandeen. manager of the govern-
mental research department was
placed in entire charge of the fi-
nances of the organisation. Mr. Ban-
deen was given the position of gen
eral manager Saturday morning at a
special start meeting caueo oy jtr.
Bassett-
Bandeen In Full Charge
The reasons for both resignations
Mr. Roberts and Mr. Regan explained
were that under the new budget and
new reorganization plans Mr. Ban-
deen was to serve as controler of
the chamber of commerce. In this
position Mr. Bandeen was to have
entire charge of the disbursements
of the organisation. This would as
Mr Roberts saw It take from him
most of his authority as chief execu-
tive and impair his initiative.
The second reason is that certain
retrenchments are proposed which in
the opinion of Mr. Roberts would cur-
tail the work of the organization. Al-
tnougn tne exact eonsoitaations ana
department mergers that wiU be made
have not been announced and prob-
ably have not fully been decided on.
it is said that plans are in forma-
tion to make consolidations.
Objects to Curtailment.
Mr Roberts told Mr. Bassett that
he could not accede as manager to
such curtailments ta eporstkon. as
ho understood the im.sio and more
recently raised to carry out the work
contemplated in the 1920 budget was
raised so that no reduction la staffs
would be necessary. Accord tn?r he
resigned and Mr. Regan with him.
The resignation of W. M. Wood
financial manager of the chamber of
commerce effective July 1 was an-
nounced Friday.
The position vacated by Mr. Regan
is yet to be filled. Mr. Bassett said
Saturday morning it would have to
be filled without delay but no suc-
cessor could be announced at that
time. Whether a new financial man-
ager will be appointed by the board.
or whether this department will be
taken under the supervision of Mr.
Bandeen is another of the board's un-
settled problems.
Clerical Force Unchanged.
At the staff meeting Saturday
morning Mr Passett assured all of
the clerical force and the .department
heads that they did not need to be
alarmed as the chamber of commerce
and its work were not to be dis-
rupted in any way but that things
would run on smoothly no matter
what rearrangements would be made
Mr. Bassett praised Mr. Roberts and
Mr. Regan highly. He said that the
men would leave El Paso with the
beat recommendation he could pos-
sibly give them.

lems Is the future management of
