Presi dent Wilson to that General ' Effect bl&lMONS IS SILENT ON GREAT QUESTION Imported That President May Apne! jeal 'Direct to The Legislators - ' WASHINGTON, July 15, Presi dent Wilson today received a letter from Senaior Overman declining to take any part in the woman suffrage fight which will, be'staged in Ral eigh when the special session- of the legislature meets August 10." The President some weeks ago wired Sen ators Overman and : SimmoTfT'ttftd. Governor Bickett, asking them to aid hira in having the state ratify the An thony amendment which would al low women to vote .in the fall elec tions. No word as yet has come from Senator Simmons, who to resting ou his farm in Jones county. ' " - ; -Wilson Disappointed. The white house is visibly disap pointed over the action of thtouiwo senators. It had been houed and ieT- tected .that Senator .Simmon would use his strong, organization in favor of tie state's adopting the amendment especially as he was successful in ominating his. candidate, Cam Morri on of Charlotte,' - . ; ; , , But the President has not yet giv en up hopei It is said he is now pre paring letters to be sent to several members of the legislature whom lie has reason to believe will turn a deaf tar to his appeal to help out Demac racy by voting for the amendment. John Dawson of Kinston, who Will be chairman of the judiciary com raittee of the house, and the Demo cratic "whip" of that body, will be '?d tomorrow to vote and use his once on others in favor of the 1 cedent's pet measure. It is also bought that appeals will be made to Representatives Fred Mlntz of Golds boro, and Crisp of Uanteo?.'TIt is fi gured if these three men will help, the suffrage cause i!Jwon.i - .

V'- " '..''. ,' ' , It is more than probable that Fresident Wilson will question close 1; ary recommendation made by the two senators f p-f Hammer's job and rr.ay refuse to name their man. Such a course would be entirely in keeping with . the nsual policy of the presi dent when senators refuse to do as he ha commanded them. ' ;, Hammer Will Resign.' i A ' It id .rumored that Hammer may not resign until March ,4, when he roes on the government payroll as a full-fledged congressman if he should elected. But it is not thought tha,t he will go that far." .He-would be taking a chance of having a Republi can district attorney appointed should Harding be elected President. On the other .hand, if he resigns now and the two senators can name a man whom the President: wants, the chances are good that a democrat will hold on for four years.. It is not v,n,.ohi that Harding would remove an appointee until his term -expired, which would be, four years fromthe time of h!3 cpnnrmauou. ; :..
