NO PROSPECT OF ITS COMING TO
SHOWDOWN SOON.
WOULD WIN IN THIS SENATE
An interchange Between Senators
Preceding 6everidee's Long Speech
Against Lorimer Thursday, Shows
No Vote is Likely for Some Time.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The validity
of the election of Senator Lorimer of
Illinois will not come to a vote in the
senate today and probably not for sew.
eral days yet---if at all at this session.
That was made evident in an inter.
change which preceded the long anti.
Lorimer speech delivered this after.
noon by Senator Beveridge of Indiana.
Senator Burrows of Michigan, chair.
man Of the committee which investi.
gated the case and exonerated Mr..
Lorimer of the charge Of being the
beneficiary of bribery in the Illinois
Legislature, sought to fix by unanimous
consent an hour for vote.
Executive Session Pressing.
Senator Lodge objected; he said it
was of the utmost Importance that the
senate go into executive session at
the earliest possible moment - pre-
sumably having in mind the Japanese
treaty.
Senator Stone Of Missouri said he
desired to make a few remarks on
the Lorimer case himself Mr.. Bur
rows suggested that vote be had at
4 o'clock on Saturday. Mr. Stone
said he had no objection to a vote, he
objected only to fixing a particular
hour for it. Mr.. Beverage. who had
the floor thereupon refused to yield
further and the remote prospects of
an early vote became still more re.
mote.
Lorimer Doesn't Hear 1t.
Mr.. Lorimer himself did not listen
to the Indiana senator's speech. He
sat through most of the other attacks
on his election, but he does not intend
to speak again in any event. There
We're a good many people in the gal
lcries today, but the crowd was never
to be compared with that which sat
yesterday during Lorimer's defense of
himself.
1t is not part of the intention of the
friends OF Mr.. LOrimer to allow his
enemies to close the debate. Senators
Gallinger and Burrows are among
those who will be heard on his side.
Bitter feeling has arisen among the
contending factions so the prospect is
that from this time on, the debate will
be more lively. Lorimer's friends now
claim fifty-four votes of ninety. The
opposition to Lorimer gives no fig
ures.
A Clash With Depew.
In the course of brisk inter change
| between Senators Beveridge and De-
pew during the formers speech Sen.
ator Depew declared he had formed
his opinion OF the case, not on the
whole printed record, but from an alb
stract made by counsel. But it was
made by counsel for the prosecution,
he added.
In the course of his speech Senator
Beveridge practically charged that the
report in the case originally prepared
and signed by the members was not
the same report which afterwards was
submitted to the senate.
When appealed to say whether this
was the fact, Senator Depew said he
could not remember all the details and
suggested that the Indiana senator
call some other witness.
