INSURGENTS IN HOUSE
STILL HOPE TO WIN
Many Who Favor Revision of Rules However Object to
the Radical Lead of Gardner of Massachusetts
Hepburn Would Be Glad to Lead If He Stays
By John SNURE.

Since the defeat Of the Republican IN
surgents, C. chined with the Democrats,
in their effort to get a resolution
through the House for a committee 10
consider changes in the rules, and ID
make a report on what changes are de-
sirable. there has been much discussion
Of the question whether the movement
70 get the rules Of the House revised is
practically dead.
On the face of things, il would look
as If the efforts to get the rules modi-
fed were likely 10 prove futile, but
there is reason 10 think that this is not
necessarily the case, and that hope of
modification of the rules sun is war
ranted
That the real sentiment among the Re
publicans in favor Of changes OF the
rules has not yet been sounded. IS as
serted in WeIl-informed quarters. one
of the best-informed members OF the
House who did not himself vote with
the insurgents yesterday, saiG today
that he did not consider the movement
t. change the rules by any means dead.
and that he looked, in fact, for changes
in the rules when the SiNty-first Con-
gress opened.
THE fact is" said this member, that
there is a strong, conservative sentiment
in favor Of changes IN the rules. A
great many members who did not vote
with the insurgents Tuesday are. never
theless, for notifications ofethe rules,
but they are not willing 10 follow the
leadership Of 'Gussie' Gardner OF Msssa-
chusetts, Cooper of Wisconsin, and some
OF the other radicals. II a strong man
can be found 10 head the movement for
a change in the rules. L have no doubt

INAUGURAL BALL
BILL is DELAYED

The passage OF the bill introduced by
Representative Smith OF Michigan, pro-
viding for the use Of the Pension Of
fee for the Inaugural Ball, will be
delayed until after the holidays. The
Commissioners have written the chair
man OF the District Committee urging
its passage.
The delay is occasioned by referring
the bill TO the Secretaries Of the War,
Navy and Interior Departments, from
whom certain flags and other materials
must be borrowed at the time.

that IL will result In CHANGES al the be-
ginning of the next Congress"
IL is known that some OF the more
conservative Republicans. who are
themselves in favor OF the rules being
changed, but who did rot vote with the
insurgents, are advising Speaker Can
non that the sentiment Of the country
for change In the ruleR must be re-
spected. II Representative Hepburn
were sure Of seat IN the next House,
ne would probably head the insurgent
election.
lie viii contest but will not be seated
when the rules are adopted for the next
House.
Repre- sentative Crumpacker OF Indiana
IS one or the strong men on the Repub-
mean side who is Tor change In the
rules He may become tho leader or
the movement. While Representative
Gardner has the antagOnism Of the con-
servatives on the Republican side, no IS
widely known as a fighter when aroused,
and he will undoubtedly have to be
reckoned with In this contest
