Senator Meyers of Montana

QUESTION OF PROTEIN
PRESIDENT POSTPONED
Supporters of Rival Factions
Claim to Have Enough
Votes Lined Up to Elect
Their Candidate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. - What
they need is a cloture rule on con-
ferences instead of on the senate
proper" declared Sen. Meyers of
Montana after sitting through three
hours OF OratOry when the demo-
cratic senatorial conference was re-
sumed today. The majority mem
bers OF the upper house found them
selves hopelessly divided on what
form the proposed amendment to the
rules designed TO check flibustering
should take and instead OF settling
the matter Immediately the confer
ence resolved itself into a talk fest. 80
in which some bitter personalities
were INDUCED.
II has become apparent that no
final agreement will be reached and
there is a constantly growing mem
bership in the majority which is
urging that the entire cloture plan
be sidetracked for the present. Be
cause of the general debate the prop

president pro tempore, with Clarke

The supporters OF Ser. POmerene
Of Ohio. claimed to have % votes
absolutely pledged and predicted that
they would be able 20 muster enough
additional votes tc win by a slight
margin. Clarke's fcllowens are al
ready certain that Clarke would
have % votes. which. with five alb
sentees in the conference of SO.
would be enough TO win.
For two days senate democratic
leaders have been trying franticaIly
10 bring the fighting factions to-
gether. Neither side would yield an
inch, however, and the difference will
be fought out.
The prediction is being made that
the clOture rule. in the form present
ed by Sen. Owens special rule COM
mittee, will obtain only scant major
ity Of the conference.

Passports to Neutral
Countries For Ford.

LONDON, Dec. Sir Edward
Cornwall, a liberal member Of par
Lament today took the lead in a
movement to prevent William J.
Bryan and Henry Ford coming to
England on a peace mission. He
asserted that the presence Of either
man here would be unwelcome to
England and a source of irritation.
Sir Edward gave notice that he
would interpellate the government
On Monday, asking Sir Edward Grey,
the foreign misinter, if he had pre-
pared for the proposed visits of
BRYAN and Ford, and whether he
will notify both through the WASH
ington government that a visit on a
peace mission by the two Americans
would be distasteful TO the British
government.
WASHINGTON, Dec. "A pass
port was granted Henry Ford today
by the state department. 1t is made
out only to neutral countries, Hol-
land, Denmark. Norway and Sweden.
Theodore Delavigne, Mr.. Ford's sec
rotary. brought with him the auto
mobile manufacturers application to
Washington today, along with about
% others for men and women who
want to make the trip Ito get the
boys ont of the trenches" The ap-
plications were made 10 the passport
division of the state department and
the indications were that most of
them would be granted.
BY noon more than 15a applica-
tons for passports had been made
for persons desiring to go on the
Ford ship. Among those favorably
acted upon were those for Judge
Ben Lindsey and Henrietta Brood
Lindsey, of Denver.
The clerks were rushed all day
working on the applications.
Officials Worried.
State department officials today
made no concealment Of their fears
that the United States might be Sc
riously embarrassed by the Ford
peace expedition to Europe. This
feeling Of apprehension has been in
tensified by the inquiries from Eu-
rOpeaa nations, both neutral and
belligerent. as to what, if any. con-
nectiOn the peace ship had with the
state department.
To all these inquiries Sec'y Lam
sing has replied that the pacifists
would carry no credentials whatever
from the state department At the
passport bureau applicants who in
tend sailing with Ford are regarded
as tourists. As previously announced
officials will withhold passports to
any Of the belligerent countries.
