senatorial situation Is the consensus OF
opinion around the hotel lobbies this

take.
Efforts at the holding OF Democratic
caucus. attended by sufficient number to
insure election. have been practically
abandoned, although the call is In circu-
letion. Twelve OF the antiWalsh men
absolutely refused to enter the caucus on
the ground that TO do so would mean
