In a telegram to George "Wharton Pepper

Nebraska.
The Senator's telegram follows:
"I am surprised to learn that jour

understanding I reached with Mr.
Clement, as jour rcpresenatlvc, was that
youf organization should control one
third' of tickets. League to Enforce

Club one-third. This Plan should be"
adhered to. If any modification is neces-
nary It should be submitted to me for
consideration.

Mr. Pepper Is the organizer and pres
ident of the leccntly organized League

nnrfenr. which Is opposed to the
luniit of nations covenant. Senator
Hitchcock Is a Democrat and representa
tive of President "Wilson's Iews on the

The Mr. Clement mentioned In the
lAteirrnm la Samuel M. Clement, Jr., a
member of the board of directors of the
Pepper organization.
Isaac A. Pennypacker, who Is secre
tary of the new league, said this after
noon that both Mr. Pepper and Mr.
Clement are In "Washington. The tele
cram sent by Senator Hitchcock had
not been receded, he said.
T wired Senator Hitchcock yester
day," Mr. Pennj packer said, "that we
are distributing tickets to alt who ask
for them and asked him how many re
served tickets he desired.
"The League to Enforce Peace failed
to accept our suggestion that they par
ticipate with us as sponsdrs of the de
bate. We hae neer received any word
from them.
v "The Contemporary Club officials,
'white favoring the debate, declined to ac--rceptany
financial responsibility and sug
gested that we distribute the tickets to
be allotted to them."
