AFTER - hours and - minutes spent In executive
session the doors reOpened and at o'clock the
Senate adjourned" Tonight Senator Edmunds dictated
to one the clerks different formula which ends
what as followsi "And pending the consid-
Grafton OF executive business the Senate adjourned"
From this rather unsatisfactory an Inference
has drawn that the Senate would reassemble II
O'Clock, tomorrow, in executive session. and that the
Ncaraguan treaty would be pushed TO the point Of
action before adjournment. If stfch purpose ls enter
ained by Senator munds. Senators generally are not
