 When Gross finished he moved the adoption of his report and Senator Lodge, saying he would not discuss the minority report at lenghth, asked the adoption of the committee report. The committee report was adopted. APPLAUSE FOR RESOLUTION
 Then Chairman Harding presented the l resolution passed by the progressive con- vention proposing a conference with committee of republicans. It was re- ceived with applause. Senator Shoot moved that the proposi- ton be accepted and a committee of five be appointed. The motion was carried by a viva voce vote, with only scattering demonstra- ton, and the chairman appointed the
 committee as follows: Senator Shoot, chairman. with former
 Senator Crane, Senator Borah, Nicholas Murray Butler of New York and for mer Representative A. R. Johnson of Ohio.
