Washington. July 2G-Thc leaders OF the
Democratic House say to-day that they
will be ready to adjourn IL the Senate kills
the wool and free list bills, but that the
lower body will stay I'm Washington indef-
nltely IL there Is any chance to proceed
with an effective revision of the tariff.
Representative Underwood. tho majority
leader summed up the situation to-day as
follows:
The House Is waiting 70 see what the
Senate will do in the next few days. II We
can effectively revise the tariff by staying
in Washington VIC propose to stay here.
II the Senate clearly indicates that II Will
not pass these tariff bills, or II the Presi-
dent vetoes the wool bill or the t-ee list
bill. the House will regard that as evil
dencc that We cannot revise the tariff In
this extra session. and 1t would ba useless
for the House to proiOng tho session 10
tho Inconvenience of members and at ad-
ditional expense.
1T all depends on the Senate. II 1t pass
es our wool bill and tho free list bill We
Will begin on a revision OF other schedules.
unless the President in the mean time We
toes the bills"

tariff revision Mr.. Underwood was asked.
"Assuredly," he replied. And We then
would go home prepared 10 take up the
work again az the regular session. Adverse
action on wool and the free list, either by
the Senate or the President, would indicate
clearly to our minds that IL Is futile to
insist on prolongation OF the session
Mr.. Underwood was not prepared TO state
the probable attitude OF the House on the
Nelson amendment TO the statehood Dill
lie is confident, however. that 2ll bills on
tho Senate schedule, not including tarin
revision bills, will go TO conference anu
will be approved By both houses before ad-

It is understood that the House finally
will accept the Senate amendments to the
campaign publicity bill. although it has
been made to apply 10 primaries, much to
