SEEK PRESIDENT'S ADVICE BEFORE TAKING A VOTE. (By tha Associated Press.) Washington, Mar. 5. With another failure to ratify the peace treaty im pending. Democrats decided today to sock personal consultation with Presi dent wllsoa before ths decisive rots it taken. Not only do they want to know de finitely how far he would go in endors ing a compromise, but they desire to have a clear understanding ef his views on the treaty as a campaign issue should snother Senate deadlock thrust it into a dominant position in politics. It is understood that some of them also de sire to ask what measure's, if any, he would expect Congress to take to relieve the eonntry from a war statur whils a decision at ths poll ' awaited. Slmmone and Preaideat The move for such a conference, ini tiated long ago among some elements of the party in ths Senate, took defin ite form when Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, tha Administration leader, sent to the White Touss during tha day a letter asking that the President talk ever the Senate situation with Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, in charge for the Democratic side, of a new move ment to negotiate a treaty compromise. It was indicated, however, that tha ap pointment with Senator Simmons, if one were arranged, would be only prelimia sry te a eonfeilence . between the Presi dent aad a eontmrttfa of Senators chos en to take up with him tha whole prob lem facing the Senate. In some Quarters it waa intimated that, if the plan developed. He aa tors from both political parties eventually might bo brought face to face- with the President in an effort to compose ths differeaeca holding ths treaty ia dead lock. In conjunction with Senator Wat son, of Indiana, acting for ths Republi can aide, Senator Simbmona has sound ed out the sentiment of all tha Senate elements, and when he goes to the White. House will be ia possession ot a clear understanding of what tha Republicans would accept as a compromise. Senator Hitchcock's letter did aat reach exeeU' tive offices until lata in tha day and no word regarding the President's in tention was forthcoming from the Whits House officials. It waa indicated, how ever. ! that aa appointment probably. would be mads either tomorrow or early next week. Mrs. Benjamin T.
