CANNON THE MAIN OBSTACLE.

promises to be the crucial day in the fl
nal determination of the statehood QueS-
ton. The house Republicans will meet
Sible upon course of proceedings to be
followed II dealing with the bill as it
passed the senate.
At I O'Clock the Insurgents viii hold d
meeting to determine whether they Will
attend the conference. It is believed that
the insurgents viii not sbsent themselves
from the general conference of their par
ty provided that they receive assure noes
that the conference is to be a conference
in fact as we'll as in name. and not a
caucus. If it is to be a caucus, in which
majority action will bind all who attend,
the insurgents viii take no part in 1t.
but if il is to be conference for puT-
poses Of consideration and effort to ar
rive at a unanimous course of action.
without binding the participants to a
hard and fast rule, they VIII attend.
The only obstacle in the path of agree
ment upon the statehood question is to
night said to be the determination of
Speaker Cannon not TO yield to the &C
ton of the senate It is gathered from
members of the house who have had
conferences with the president that he
does not regard joint statehood for New
Mexico and Arizona as a vital question.
to take an unyielding stand for the views
of the administration and, this attitude
being known. the resistance of the house
to the senate bill is almost solely to sup
port the speaker in his contention. 1t is
asserted tonight that Speaker Cannon is
weakening in his attitude and under
strong pressure Of the Republican lead
ers outside Of the ranks of the insurgents
is inclining towards accepting the For
aker amendment. In spite of much pres
ceding from their position of opposition
to joint statehood.

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS ON THE STATEHOOD MEASURE
Conference of the insurgents Also CaIed-Speaker Can
non Nursing His Wrath, but Says He Has Not
Lost Faith in Republican Majority,

Washington. March 14-Whether the
caucus on statehood to be participated in
by the Republicans of the house tOmOT-
row is to blind those who attend has
been an absorbing topic of discussion
among the insurgents" of the party to-
day. No conclusion has been reached.
For this reason a conference of those
Republicans who wish to concur in the
senate amendments has been called for
g7sfock tomorrow At this conference
it will be determined whether insurgents
shall attend the caucus or shall stay
away 1t is stated by the insurgents
that they have been urgd to attend the
caucus on the ground that it is to be a
conference and not a caucus. However,
there are varied views as to the binding
effect of either a caucus or conference.
Some members contend that neither binds
the participants. while others hold that
conferences do not bind, while caucuses
do.
Speaker Cannon says he has not yet
lost faith in the overwhelming Repubii-
can majority which voted for the house
bill He has received many kilograms
today and admits that influences are
working to secure a concurrence in the
senate measure. The caucus tomorrow
will, he says, determine this point. The
speaker says he has not read the state
hood bill as amended by the senate, bat
has been reliably informed that it con-
tainS amendments of such character that
if any member made the point of order
it would have to go to the committee on
territories under the rules. Mr.. Cannon
made the significant remark that people
seemed to forget that there was three
months session of the congress (alluding
to the coming short session., in which
the two houses might get together on
