WILSON WINS ON
VOTE in SENATE
Continued From Page H.
Crowds in Chamber.

When the senate assembled prompt.
1y at II O'clock, practically all the
administration senators were in their
seats waiting for the usual round of
morning business to be passed over so
Senator Stone could make the agreed
motion to table the Gore resolution.
To hurry the procedure, 1t was
agreed to dispense with reading the
journal, the usual grist of memorials
and petitions was presented. The
floor, crowded with senators and rep
resentatives, and the galleries. packed
by a thrOng which included the presi-
dents wife, fairly hummed with ex-
pectation.
Senator Gore, author of the resolu-
ton which the administration forces
were ready to kill and who yesterday
made the sensational declaration that
he had heard President Wilson ex-
pected war with Germany, was led to
his seat by his secretary. Administra-
ton leaders seemed confident and pre-
pared.
Morning business was finally closed
and Senator Stone asked that the Gore
resolution be laid before the senate.
Substitute Offered.
Senator McCumber, republican. of
North Dakota, offered substitute to
express the sense of the senate that
the rules of international law should
be revised to meet new conditions of
war and that pending negotiations
with foreign powers, Americans be re-
quested to refrain from endangering
their lives by travelling on armed
vessels.
! When the McCumber substitute had
been read, Senator Stone again called
for the Gore resolution and 1t was laid
before the senate. ThereupOn Senator
James Of Kentucky moved that the
resolution and all substitutes be laid
on the table. Senator Gore was on
his feet asking recognition.
Senator. Gore then offered correc-
ton on his resolution to. make it de-
clare the sense Of the senate that the
death of an American citizen on an TN
warned merchant ship would be just
cause for war.
After brief parliamentary brush he
was permitted to submit the correction
of his resolution, but when he sought
to discuss it he was shut off on objec-
tion by Senator James. The correction
was then read and Senator James NOV
ed that 1T be included in the motion
to table the original resolution and all
substitutes.
Wilson is Upheld.
Senator Gallinger asked that the
original Gore resolution be read. That
was, done and the vice president or
dered roll call on motion to table
Senator Cores correction which it was
decided had to be considered separate
