see : Titanic Struggle for
Mastery Hitchcock-Bryan

By E. C. SNYDER.
Special rorrrapondrnt of The Re.
Washington, Jan. ft President
Wilson and William Jennings Bryan
met in a head-on collision at the Old
Hickory celebration over the ratifi
cation of the peace treaty, and today
the statesmen-politicians who parti
cipated in the Jackson day eats and
oratory are running their fingers
through their tousled hair and with
puckered brows are scanning the po
litical situation within their party.
Looming large upon the horizon
of the future they see outlined there
the figures of two masterful men
Wilson and Bryan struggling for
the domination of the policies of the
tiemocratic party in the coming cam
paign. Realizing as do these poli
ticians in congress and others in the
national management of the party
that success at the polls in Novem
ber, 1920, URon which so many thou
sand personal political 'fortunes are
staked, is involved, they visualize a
titanic struggle at the national con
vention June 28 next at San Fran
cisco over the framing of platform
and the writing of principles upon
which the party will appeal to the
voters in November.
Scared and Shocked.
It was a scared and shocked array

Mr. Bryan stated that he had noth
ing to add to his itterar.ces upon
the league of nations and the demo
cratic policy thereon. He said he
had no appointment with any demo
cratic senators and for the present
would make no suggestions to them.
He had expressed himself fully last
right, he said, and thought his re
marks were clear enough.

Washington, Jan. 9. Subpoenaes
signed by Senator Moses of New
Hampshire were served on L. C.
A. K. Martens, self-styled Russian
soviet ambassador to the United
States, and his secretary and spokes
man, S. Nuorteva, calling for their
appearance at the initial hearing
Monday of the senate foreign re
lations subcommittee, charged with
an investigation of Russian propa
ganda in the United States. Both
accepted the summons.
Martens, for whom Deoartment

with a warrant for arrest, it was
said at temporary headquarters her
of the "Russian soviet bureau," wa
served with the subpoena "at the
hofne here of a friend." The sub
poena for the appearance of Nuor
teva was served at the offices of the
"bureau."
Members of the subcommittee,
which in addition to Senator Moses
is composed of Senators Borah of
Idaho, and Knox of Pennsylvania,
republicans, and Poniercne of Ohio,
and Shields of Tennessee, demo
crats, said that the examination of
Martens and Nuorteva would oc
cupy several sessions.
Nuorteva. in a recent statement,
said that Martens was prepared to
substantiate charges made by the
"embassy" that certain planks in the
communist and communist labor
party platforms, which, he claimed,
were the basis of the recent raids
and of the present deportation pro
ceedings against members of the
party, were framed by Department
of Justice agents. Martens, he said,
also, if permitted to testify, would
prove complicity of Department of
Justice agents in the summer bomb
plots.
