Intention to continue in their course .deadlocking the Legislature If 1t is necessary to keep Governor Cummins out of the United States Senate.
 Although prominent party leaders came from all parts Of the State to- day for the legislative session and also for the Republican judicial con- 1ention which meets tomorrow. they failed to bring any adjustment of dif- ferences. Both sides say tonight that they will not yield.
 There Is a disposition among many men of both factions to hurry up the primary law legislation for which the extra session was convened and then adjourn.
 When the vote in the House was an- nounced 1t was found to stand as fol- lows: Cummins 44; Claude R. Porter (Dem.) 3f: Funk {; Perkins 1; William Larrabee with the stand pat strength of 28 votes scattered for various can- didates. including Walter I. Smith, W. P. Hepburn. c. N. Haugon and A F. Dawson. of the Iowa delegation in Congress.
 In the Senate the vote was postpon- ed until afternoon. There cummins received 21 votes; Porter 14. while the IA votes of the stand patters were scattered as in the House.
 Governor Cummins was seen at his ofiice after the vote in the Senate. He said he regretted that so many Repub- licans had found 1t necessary to bolt the decision of their party caucus.
 Tonight much bitterness is express ed among the progressives and there Is talk of boiling the Republican tick ct this fall If the stand patters re- fuse to recognize their obligations.
 The stand patters base their oppo- sition to cummins on the ground that they did not believe in proceeding with an election until the people had had an opportunity to exprev their choice
