REPUBLICANS EXPECT DEFEAT
Harding, Leader of Opposition, Be- lieves It Will Pass in Week-AH Members Anxious for Adjournment of Congress.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The second attempt of the administration to create a government shipping board to undertake rehabilitation of the American merchant marine began in the senate today under conditions in marked contrast to those which characterized the hotly fought losing struggle in the last congress.
 With democrats united on the amended bill and no party revolt in prospect such as accomplished defeat for the bill before, interest in the issue was apathetic.
 Informal conferences of republi- cans anj democrats early in the day regarding the prospect of adjourn ment of congress disclosed that re- publicans were anxious to dispose of the shipping bill and all other pend ing legislation as rapidly as possible. Senator Harding of Ohio, who will di9 rect opposition to the shipping bill for the minority, thought the measure could be disposed of in less than a week. Senator Kern informed him that a sincere effort would be made to dispose of all pending business so that congress might adjourn by Sept. l. Senator Harding hoped adjourn ment might be as early as Aug. 26.
 Leaders of both sides. it was dis closed, have been urged by campaign leaders to hasten adjournment.
 In urging the shipping bill Sena- tor Simmons outlined the great need of country for commercial prepared ness hand in hand with military pre- paredness.
