 TO RESIGN

Washington, June 3-When Senator William Lorimer arrives in Washing ton, late today, regular leaders in the Senate will make one last attempt to induce him to resign to stave off what they are convinced will be a vote adverse to the blonde boss" if his case comes to roll call in the Senate.
 Eleven Senators who voted for Lor- inner, last session, were retired to pri- vate life-and with many the contri- outing cause was their support of the Illinois statesman. There are now 96 members of the Senate. A few weeks ago a poll by Lorimer's friends devel- oped only 39 votes for him. Against him were counted 4S Today it was said that two more Senators have as- serted they will vote to declare Lor- imer's seat vacant
 Tn Senate circles, today, it was re- ported that Vice-President Sherman. on his trip to Chicago, week ago, had obtained Lorimer's promise to re- sign. but Judge Hancey. Lorimer's counsel had persuaded his client to recall it.
