In an effort to becloud the real is

reached its climax under the present
speaker"
The already broad breach between
the Organization" of the house of rep
resentatives and the republican insur-
gents widened perceptibly yesterday.
Last night there was every evidence
that the mutually hostile acts Of thu
past few days will continue with in
creasing bitterness.
The insurgents caucused in little
groups of two's and threes, and four's
on the house floor, in the cloak room
and the members lobby, discussing the
situation and debating the desiratility
of an early meeting to form battle
front to meet the onslaught reported
to be coming from the organization.
None would say when the formal
meeting would be held It became
known yesterday that the party eau
Gus will be invoked against the insur-
gents and that on every occasion when
there are differences between the re-
publican members that the insurgents
will be made to follow the program or
be forced out of the pale Of the party.

cert the recalcitrant representatives
