 President Wilson feels that much of the correspondence Is confidential and that publicity would injure the foreign relations of the United States, so prob ably all of it may not be given out in the Senate.

ACTION DEFERRED ON SUFFRAGE MEASURE
Present Not an AuspiciOus Time to Present Bill
 to the House

Washington February 15.--With the support of suffrage sympathizers who thought the time inopportune for a vote in the House on the pending suf- frage constitutional amendment, a mo- tion to postpone report on the meas ure until the next session of Congress was adopted to today by the iu- dietary committee. At the same time the committee rejected on tie vote a similar motion to postpone until next session a report on the prohibition amendment.
 Suffragists immediately launched a fight for reconsideration of the action At least three, if not four, members favorable to their cause were absent when the vote was taken, they said.
 The suffrage vote came after a heat ed conflict between various factions that have been supporting the pro- posals. Representatives of the Con gressional union who were eager for a vote on the Susan B. Anthony proposal urged members until today to vote im- mediately on reporting it. Mrs. An- toinette Funk of the National Woman Suffrage association, however, fearing defeat of the measure, began to pledge its friends to vote for an indefinite postponement.
 At the outset of the meeting today, Representative Gard of Ohio offered a resolution to postpone indefinitely con sideration of both the suffrage and pro- hibition proposals. After much wrang- ling the two propositions were divided.
