STATEHOOD CONFEREES
Long Debate Takes Place as to Which
Members Shall Be
Appointed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-Whether
the Senate conferees on the statehood
bill will represent the party that de-
feated joint statehood for Altoona
and New Mexico, or the party that
fought for the retention of that provi-
SIGN, was debated at length in the
Senate to-day, but no decision was
reached. The usual manner is to
name as conferees the two ranking
majority members and the ranking
minority member of the committee
having the bill in charge. In the pres
ent case it was contended by German
and Teller that the conferees. if so
named, would not represent the senti-

for his attack on the District Attor-

were known to be so throughout this

ever been. Continuing, Webb said:
