WASHINGTON. Mar.
5. - President Wilson's
position in the interna-
siorsal situation was up
held today by the senate,
when that body voted TO
table the Gore resolu-
ton. which called for
warning to Americans not
10 travel on armed ships.
and 10 which Wilson was
opposed.
The vote was 6S 10 IA
in favor of tabling.
The senate's action was
taken amid dramatic
scenes, unparalleled since
the declaration of war
upon Spain.
II was just 10 minutes and 40
seconds from the opening OF debate
until Vice President Marshall an
nounced the vote. Chairman Stone
OF the foreign committee. who yes
terday confessed himself not in
agreement with all OF President
Wilson's views, voted Aye" on the
resolution. after Borah. objecting
to Stones attempt to explain Sen
ator Saulsbury's absence, had said:

Substitute Resolution Tabled
Senator Cumber opened the fight
Unexpectedly by offering n substi.
tute for the Gore resolution. de-
claring that in view OF questions
as to the validity OF the submarine
situation. II was the duty OF every
American TO abstain from the right
TO travel on armed ships until
President Wilson and other coun-
tries had agreed on submarine mat
ters.
This resolution was tabled.
Thereupon Senator James called
up the Gore resolution and demand
ed the ayes and nays on tabling 1t.
Virtual Ultimatum Offered
Gore countered with an amend.
ment 10 his resolution. and asked
permission to discuss II.
II stated that death of an Amer
lean thru n submarine attack should
be deemed cause of war.
This eleventh hour move came as
an unexplained surprise. as II
meant practically a new resolution
amounting to an ultimatum to the
central powers. and subsequent de.
velopments showed II caused n
change OF several votes.
Calls for a Roll Call
Vardaman favored the original
resolution. but voted to kill the
amendment.
James again demanded a vote.
Gallinger demanded another read
ing OF the original Gore resolution
with the amendment. This was
done.
Clark interposed with point oi
order that the amended resolution
could not be considered today.
At this point Ashurst cried out
81 call for roll call.
This began at 11:40.
by the single record roll call, the
senate swept aside not only the
Gore resolution, but also the amend
ments ana substitutes. and clinched
the whole question in favor OF the
president
