 Washington. Jan. 10.-Opposition among the Republican members of the House to the Hamilton joint statehood bill seems to be making little head way. The leaders of the insurgents have prepared pledge for the sigma ture of Republicans who will vote to defeat a rule preventing amendments to the Hamilton bill. This was freely cir culated today among the opponents of Joint statehood and is now said to bear forty-five signatures. About twenty Republican members are undecided on the Statehood fight and the struggle to win them by the opposing factions is waxing hot.
 The insurgents insist that many of their sympathizers have not yet had an opportunity to sign the pledge and claim that they will readily obtain more than sixty names Administration sup oorters declare the total strength of their opponents is not much more than forty.
 An urgent deficiency bill will be ready for the consideration of the House in a few days and it is now ex- pected that this bill will be laid before the House immediately after the Phil ippine tariff bill has been disposed of, as the leaders are said to be anxious to delay the statehood bill until Speaker Cannon is more certain how the Re- publican members stand on the meas Iire
