DEMOCRATS IN DILEMMA
Caucus Vote Against Battleships
Continues to Bother Them,
rFrom The Tribune Bureau.


washington March 1e.-With sentiment IN
the Naval Affairs Committee and in the
Hons. IN favor of two new battleships, the
Democrats are sorely vexed over the propo-
sition Of calling another caucns to rescind
their action declaring against appropria-

leagues, and has found It will be an easy
mstter 10 obtain the twenty-five signatures
necessary TO call another caucus. The call
and the resembling Of caucus action, how
ever, are two different propositions, ana
some Democrats have raised the perpleXing
question, Where would we stand with the
country II the public buildings complica-
ton entered into the caucus again and we
had 10 vote against battleships once moreE'
Members of the Public Buildings Commit
tee are lying low, determined that II the
party rescinds its action regarding battle
ship appropriations 1t must also authorize
q public buildings bill. The refusal OF the
former caucus TO authorize the pork bar
rel is largely responsible to-day for the
uncomfortable position In which the Demo-
Gratis hnd themselves.
Members of the House have been hearing
from "home," and have learned that mig
gardly appropriations for the navy are not
popular with the public. The Democrats
now want to back pedal on the battleship
ultimatum but the pork barrel" has again
bobbed up 20 harass them.
Four Democrats of the Naval Affairs
Committee are ready TO vote with the seven
Republicans In the committee for two bat
tleships This will make the vote II TO 10
for the regular authorization. Chairman
Padgett has informed House leaders OF the
dsconcerting state of affairs in his commit
tee. and Democratic heads are now being
put together TO find way out of the diff
Guilty which will not embarrass the party
and tell against it politically The four
Democratic members Of the Naval Affairs
Committee who are willing to vote for two
batueships IL the caucus will unite their
hands are Representatives Hobsoh, Estop-
