part Of Republican Senators since
Thursday and it is believed by
some that they will not only yield
their position 80 far as to consent
toIholding an executive session, but
will in . few days give up the at
tempt to elect Senate officers. This
much was intimated by Senator
Hale lin an interview this morn
ing. He said Il IRE would undoubt-
sdIy be- Al executive ses.
sion. The d. Terence In the Re-
publican ranks ,ould be adjusted
and the pendiny nominations Of
Gorbam and Rid&lleberger disposed
of. Hale says the motion to elect
this ticket will not, after time,
be renewed, but the whole question
will be allowed to go by dsfa ult,
the Senate adjourning as soon as
the OF xecutive business is finished.
He says the only thing for the Re.
publicans to do'is to back squarely
doWn. The Committee of Safety,
~ it 10 called, will rscommend %.
