House Republicans Meet
This Afternoon.
INSURGENTS CONFIDENT
INSURGENTS CONFIDENT
3 Advocates of Concurrence in Senate
Measure See Victory Over
8 Cannon

This afternoon the House Republican
conference will determine a policy to be
pursued in considering the Senate
s. amendments to the Statehood bill. Be
~ fore the House met the controversy
- over this measure had been carried on
during the informal forenoon confer
rs ences and discussions with the utmost
eagerness. The Administration Repub-
--- licans were less confident than at any
previous time, apparently. while the So
called insurgents and advocates OF con-
currence in the Senate measure were
-; very positive they would win.
The argument Of the House managers
~ was directed today to inducing the Re
err publicans of the body 10 stand by pre-
&c cedenCe in such cases and go through
= the usual form of sending the bill to
- conference. They vigorously urged that
the regular order when a House bill re-
turns from the Senate with amend
ments is to send it to conference with
out instructing the conferees That ia
as much as the House managers are
now urging.

they see in this clever scheme TO have

81 posed to a conference

the recommendation that the House do
not concur.
There has been a good deal of sugges-
lIOn that II the bill goes back 10 the

. lives of the Speaker and the House or

on behalf of the opposition to concur
fence. the claim is set forth with a
great deal of detail and positiveness
that the Speaker is beaten II is said
i that many Republican members of the
House from States adjoining or ad-
jacent 10 Oklahoma have been forced
into line 10 support the Senate bill by
pressure from home. The Kansas and
Missouri Republicans. together with
i parts ofsthe delegations from Nebraska.
IN Iowa and some other Western States.
f7 are said to have yielded to this in
fuence.
The House Committee on Territories
Was in executive session this morning.
j IS Understood that the House confer
tes will be Hamilton and Powers, Re
publicans. and Lloyd. Democrat; while
s-thosc for the Senate are expected to
-t-be BeVeridge. Nelson and Teller. The
plan OF the insurgents is to have a mo-
t',t1ion made on the floor of the House
'fsS that the House does concur. The bill Is
q fact that some of the parliamentary au-
thorities insist that il should, and before
now have been placed in the hands of
the committee.
