UNITED STATES TO ACT
EXPECTED SENATE'S ATTACK
ON WILSON POLICY NOT MADE
As That Body is in Session
Ten Minutes after Recon-
vening after Holidays.

WASHINGTON. Jan. An ex-
pected attack on the administration
policy and It's course in the subma-
rine crisis failed TO materialize in the
Senate today. when that body after
being In session less than ten min
utes adjourned until noon tomorrow.
The reason assigned for the sud
den adjournment by the leaders on
both sides was that several OF the
senator's, who were expected TO have
business to present. did not have It
ready.
The motion on which the Senate
adjourned, however, was in observ-
alton OF the death OF Associate Jus
tice Lamar OF the supreme court.
Earlier in the day Chairman Stone
Of the Senate foreign relations COM
mlttee In conference with President
Wilson over the submarine crisis
told the press he had heard intima-
lions that some senators were going
to assall the administrations course
and. that some others were going to
attack the Mexican policy.
The international situation was
uppermost in the minds Of members
Of both Senate and House as they
reassembled today for the real work
Of the session after the holiday re-
cess.
Senator Fall, Republican. Of New
Mexico, had ready a resolution call
ing on President Wilson to inform
the Senate to what government he
proposed to accredit Henry Prather
Fletcher. who has been nominated
for ambassador to Mexico. He will
introduce the resolution tomorrow
and It is expected that II will be
made the vehicle for a general Re-
publican attack not on Mr.. Fletcher.
but upon the administrations Mex
