WASHINGTON, D. C.-Confer-
ences among leaders in congress
with a view to adjournment October
18th continued today. Democratic
Leader Underwood concurred with
Senators Kern and Smoot, who ex-
pressed the view that an adjourn
ment could be effected at the time
planned.
Southern Democrats Object.
Objections by some Southern dem
ocrats, who are demanding legisla-
ton to relieve the cotton situation,
may therefore interfere, howevr. An
objection might upset any three-day
recess plan, but there is said to be
an ample majority in both houses to
put through an adjournment resolu-
ton at any time.
President Wilson is still consider
ing the plan of calling a special ses-
sion of congress on November 18th
if the present adjournment plan is
carried through. The session, if call
ed. would be to specifically consider
the government ship purchase bill.
