ROW BREWING
ON SEA ORDER
House and Senate Certain to
Come to Showdown on
Wilson Policy.
FORMER BELIEVED LIKELY
TO OPPOSE PRESIDENT
Report of McLemore Resolution To-
day Expected to Precipitate Bitter
Fight on Floor.

Statements made yesterday by leaders
In Congress made 1t certain that not only
the Senate. but the House will sooner or
later declare directly for or against a
resolution warning Americans off armed
merchantmen OF belligerent nations
In the opinion Of these. leaders..-the
House probably will voice its opinion In
favor OF such n warning
Although it is practically settled that
the McLemore resolution will be tabled
when the Rules Committee makes its re-
port TO the House tomorrow, every indi-
cation last night pointed to this action
as not ending the matter. but. rather,
marking the beginning of new fight on
the floor OF the House that would make
the outbreak in the Senate Friday seem
tame by comparison.
Leaders Given Score.
A scare was thrown into administration
leaders yesterday when the report spread
that the Republicans would vote almost
solidly against the rule to be reported by
the Rules Committee. II enough anti
administration Democrats voted with the
Republicans it was realized the rule
might be defeated.
These reports served to muddle a situa-
ton already tied up in an amazing par
liamentary tangIe.
For one thing, Congressional leaders de-
cided that the McLemore resolution was
already on the table. since it was reported
to the House by the Foreign Affairs Com
mittee. The effect of the report OF the
Rules Committee. therefore, would be to
recommend the tabling Of a resolution al
ready tabled.
To relieve this situation, It was planned
to have Chairman Flood, Of the Foreign
Relations Committee. move today to lift
the McLemore resolution from the table
and place it on the calendar
Would Reverse Action.
The adoption of tho Rules Committee
report tomorrow would reverse the
process by taking the resolution from
the calendar and placing It again on the
table.
When the scare over the defeat OF the
rule arose yesterday. many admlnlstra-
tlon leaders questioned the wisdom OF
placing the McLemore resolution on the
calendar while any danger existed of the
defeat OF the Rules Committee report.
This move may be delayed until a poll
is taken to establish definitely just what
the vote on the rule will be.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Bryan is expected back
in Washington today. He will confer
with several of his supporters in the
House. but his friends insist he will not
attempt to defeat The tabIing of the Nc
Lemore resolution.
Another cause for worry is that men,
bers OF Congress are beginning to hear
from home.
