Resolution to ExpeI Mis-

OUTCOME VERY DOUBTFUL
BiIbo May or May Not Be Expelled
Owing to the Conflicting Views
of Members of the Mississippi
Legislature

Jackson, Miss, April 13,-(special. 1.-THE
Mississippi senate will vote tomorrow
noon on a resolution to expel Senator
Theodore Bilbo, charged with accepting
a brbe from ex-senator L. c. Dulaney
to vote for Leroy Percy for the United
States senate.
The resolution to expel Bilbo has been
prepared and would have been offered to-
day. but the defendant asked for further
time as he has several more character
witnesses on the way from his home to
jackson.
The attorneys for the senate consented
on the understanding that there should be
no further delay, and served notice that
they would have vote tomorrow.
In view of the fact that 1t takes two
thirds vote to expel member, 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful that this will be done.
But if his scalp is saved, 1t will be by
the narrowest margin as the great major
ity of the members are insistent that he
should go.
The vote will be largely on factional
grounds, the vardaman men standing by
Bilbo the others favoring expulsion
However, 1t is known that some of the
vardaman followers will vote for expul-
sion.
