Washington, Feb. 13.-While the administration democrats were re- framing the ship bill for a new drive III the house, the republican filibus- ter blossomed out anew today In the senate, where Senator Gore tried to nave the commerce committee dis charged from consideration of his suDst1tute, which is to be used as one of the bases of compromise.
 senator Burton took the floor for speech that promised to last all day, and it was apparent that the re- publlcan opposition was prepared to nold it's lines firm until the admin 1stratlon compromise took thor oughly definite form. Senator Weeks, author of the bill, which is also a part of the compromise, predicted it could not be accepted in the sen ate With the amendments proposed by administration leaders in the house.

 Democrats of the senate met in conference early today to consider the advisability of continuing the fight TOT cloture rule to force an end to the determined republican filibus- ter, or or offering it up and return HIS Io 1 ulAcCt contest TOT the mea- sure. The bill, blocked by republi- can opposition had been displaced as the unfinished business before the sen- ate

 Senator Burton presented two reso- lutions, one calling on the treasury department for information of whe- ther there were any negotiations, even of preliminary character, to buy any of the German ships now laid up in American ports and another pro- posing that a committee of senators investigate along the same line. Con- sideration of both went over without action.

come to Honolulu, is one OF the vet
erar noted figures in the tennis world.
His first play in 1901 was the sem
sation of the tennis field. and with
Ward he won the doubles title that
year. In 1904 Wright annexed the
title again with Ward. Wright was
at the height of his career in 1905
when he won the national champion
ship from a field of stars. Tennis
critics state that his play of that year
was the greatest in decade, and
many of the tennis devotees have oft
en- expressed the wish 70 witness a
match between Wright and Johnston.
The two stars have never met in COM
petition, and should Johnston decide
to come, local tennis followers will
have the first opportunity of watch
ing the champion of 1905 and the
champion of 1915 in match play.
Wright again won the singles cham
pionship in 1908, and with Little, also
annexed the doubles title in the same
year Wright has represented the
United States in the Davis cup match
es on two occasions with credit He
has been one of the leading spirits in
tennis play to its present
stage, and will be welcome addition
to the stars who have played on local
courts.
Mr.. Castle also has received a let.
ter from William Johnston stating
that he would make every effort to
be here in February. Johnston has
stated that he would like to return to
Honolulu this year, and there Is hard
ly question but that the local fol.
lowers Of tennis play will see the
national champion in action against
the other stars
Tennis deyotees in the city were
very much pleased to know that
Wright would come here, but with the
announcement that Griffin and Dawson
would play there is certain to
be added interest in the court game.
The tournament will begin on Feb
ruary II, and the finals in the singles
are expected to be played on Febru-
airy 81. According to the present
schedule the doubles finals will be
staged on Friday or Saturday of Car
