Unless Wilson Measure Is
First Passed

Washington, Nov. 26.-The senate

til final action is taken.
The conference will consider the
currency bill at once, and take it t o
the floor of the senate, determined
to rush it's consideration. A resolu-
ton presented by Senator Reed
provided that the conference should
begin considering the bill imms =
diately after the senate adjourns to-
day. and endeavor to complete franz
ing the measure by Saturday with
the plan of putting the bill in the
senate with democratic majority
behind it on Monday, when the reg
ular session begins.
Senator Hitchcock, the one demo
crat of the banking committee, who
stood out against the administra-
ton draft of the BILL was not present
at today's conference, having gone
to his home in Omaha, for briet

ton plan. In consideration Of the

will adopt as party measure the
draft of the bill presented by Chair

dent. Amendments may be made in
