1t looks as II the conservative sena-
tors would delay the Cuban resolution
by debate. Senator Davis said there
was no disposition to unduly press the
question though IT would be pressed
as rapidly as possible. The speaking
in itself would be sufficient TO throw
the case over until tomorrow.
The chair decided Senator Hoars
point Of order well taken.
The House was in a furore of ex-
element during the preliminary
business. No attention was paid to
business. The members crowded about
MIR. Adams. acting chairman of the
foreign affairs committee, who brought
over the printed copy OF the Senate
resolutions and read them aloud to
half hundred members In the main
aisles.
