SHIP PURCHASE BILL NEXT PROBLEM FOR
 SENATE ID SOLVE
Fletcher COnfers With Will son on Conducting Meas ure-Veto on Immigra-
 ton Bill Unlikely

Washington, January 3.--With the immi- grafton bill passed by both houses and ready for adjustment in conference, the Senate probably will take up as the next big legislature task the administration pfli for government purchase of mercha mt ships already favorably reported.
 Senator Fletcher, acting chairman of the commerce commmittee in charge of the bill. conferred with President Wilson yesterday regarding expedition of the measure. It is certain, however. that there will be vigorous opposition. A mi norfty report from republican members of the committee will be filed tomorrow Senator Vardaman, the only democratic committeeman who voted against a fav- orable report, has not yet indicated if he will sign the minority report.
 Just how soon administration leaders can get the debate under way on the bill is uncertain. as appropriation bills will begin 10 come up in the Senate this week.
 Democratic supporters of the immigra- ton bill said today they believed Presi- dent Wilson would not veto 1t because of his objection of the literacy test Sev- eral weeks ago the President let it be known he objected to the test, but added he had not made up his mind what final course he would take, because of the many merltorious features of the meas ure.
 Name Conferees Today
 Conferees on the bill probably will be named tomorrow. Military preparedness will come to the fore again tomorrow. Representative Gardner, who has been urging investigation of the subject, hay ing been granted hearing by the House military committee. On the floor of the House appropriation bills continue under consideration.
 Tuesday the Senate Philippine committee will resume hearings on the Jones bill en- larging Philippine independence. Secre- tary Garrison Is expected to be a wit ness during the week. How soon or in what form the bill will be reported still is problematical.
 The pending treaty with Columbia will be taken up Wednesday by the Senate foreign relations committee, and the Nic- ardguan treaty already reported, prob- ably will be considered during the week in executive session of the Senate.
