WASHINGTON, May 4. "There Is
, no doubt at all that President Wilson
I will veto the Knox peace resolution,"
I i r was flatly stated in an authoritative
I quarter here today. Administration
.senators understand that the president
will veto it "and veto it quick."
A presidential campaign on a
straight out issue of the treaty of Ver
sailles versus the Knox resolution ap
pears possible today. Democratic
j Leader Underwood let It be known
Uhat all' plans for a democratic fili
j buster against the Knox resolution
have been cancelled at the suggestion
!of the white house. Adoption of the
J resolution seems likely In view of the
(democratic attitude. Both sides have
I predicted it would receive a majority
i vote and the only hopes of the demo
i crats had of defeating it was by 1111

Wilson's veto would present this Is
isue: The treaty against the Knox res
olution. This sudden maneuver start

; Knox boom for the republican presi
dential nomination. With his peace

j campaign, Knox himself would be the
logical man to head the ticket, friends
