while the third reading was carried by

each side having left the house in the
interval.
The result of the division was too

their best and, assisted by the Lib
erals and Laborites gave the measure
for which they had waited and worked

MAY NOT CALL A
REPUBLICAN MEET

Washington, February 21-Until a ma
jority of the members of the republican
national committee express a desire for
a national convention of the party to
revise rules and change the basis of the
southern representative. Chairman Charles
d. Hills will not issue a call for a meet
ing of the committee to consider the sub
ject.
This is understood to be the attitude
of the national chairman, as expressed
to republican leaders who have been dis
cussing the projected convention. Few
members of the national committee have
definitely committed themselves to the
convention plan thus far. but it has be-
come the subject of discussion among
republican leaders in Congress and it is
believed the support gained for the plan
will result in a request for national
committee meeting to consider methods
of bringing the republicans of all states
together.
Should chairman Hilles decide to call
the committee meeting it probably will
be held early in the spring. so that steps
can be taken to have a republican ma
tional convention assemble by September
if desired.
