QUESTION OF APPORTIONMENT
 OF CONGRESSMENI IS CAUSING
 WORRY AMONG REPUBLICANS

r. Washington, December 5.-tSpecial) re-apportionment of representatives Tn Congress at this session of Congress is up In the air. It was learned to- night that Speaker Cannon has not decided the question and while he is inclined to favor a bill, he has not yet given the word. Representative Dwight of New York, the republican whip, and several other leading re- puhlicans Of the House are urging the speaker to nse his influence against the meaoure. They claim that re-appor- tionmenu in states which have elected democratic legislatures, such as New York. Ohio and New Jersey, will re- sult disastrous1y to the republicans and insure democratic control of the House for years to come.
 o, the other hand, there is a pro found sentiment among the republicans of the census committee for bill. Representative Crumpacker, the chair man, is outepoken in his belief that 1t is the duty of the present Congress to re-appcrtion. The political question involved is. not lost upon MT. Crum- packer and his associates on the com mittce, but they contend that the dem ocratic governors of the several states can call extra sessions and re-district one year from now as well as this win ter
 In addition number of republicans favor Q re-apportionment on the ground that they will gain congress- men. Il is claimed tonight that even the speaker will have a difficult time in forcing the members of the census committee to hold up a bill.
 Representa- tive Crumpacker Is pro- ceeding as though there were no op- position As soon as the population of the United States is announced Sat urday he will that afternoon call meeting of the committee. By that time the census bureau will have its

 No one chatting with Senator Aldrich, the man whose particular style of mantle is going begging when he says goodby to the Senate, was able today to detect any sorrow in his knowledge that he is soon to retire. Were things different he would be glad to remain but he saw the coming storm before 1t broke and consigned himself to voluntary exile from the Senate.
 ''There is no change in the determina- tion I have reached to leave the Senate in March, said Senator Aldrich. Meant what I said when l announced some months ago my intention to quit. I go without any inclination to longer re- main. After March the Senate will not look the same. I could not be happy here after that time. Between the in creased power of the democrats and the addition of new insurgents I am confident that the Senate would be & rather chilly place for me after the change is made. I wish them all success, but don't want to stay here for the Sixty-second Con- gross. am interested in the work of the monetary commission and shall devote my best energies t7 1t after leaving the Senate.

"I am not for har- mony," he continued with smile "I am in this fight to win the cause we have been battling for the people. There Is no such work as harmony in my lexi- cor. if 1t is to involve the sacrifice of any of the things for which we in- surgentS have been fighting,
