smooth out the whole fracas and make
peace between Senator Wagner and the
Mayor Senator Ogden Mills, warm
friend of the Mayor, went to New
York this afternoon to urge the Mayor
to make a graceful retraction and save

The Mayors friends appear to be es-
pecially worried over the possibility

United States Senator William NJ.
Calder had called a conference in Man
haitian tomorrow night to discuss the
case for the Mayors welfare.
The capital was bu12ing with reports
to-day OF what the Mayor would do
on the stand. Some expect he will try
to talk the Senate off its feet. others
believe he will try to justify his Wag-
ner statement simply on the basis OF
blocking the original legislation, but

eral W. W. WotherspOon. OF the con-

Iron The Tribune Bureau

Washington, March 27.-The ship
ping Board to-day changed its mlnd
about the Matte Newman, the now
famous 2S9-ton schooner Of the early
sos which cannot get her much need
ed repairs in England and has her
choice of going into Channel service
or rotting at the anchorage. The board
began three weeks ago by declaring
that, by lingo, the Matte was going
to get the repairs or it would know
why.
Perhaps Chairman Denman of the
board found out "why' in his recent
trips to the White House and State
Department. In any case, the board
announced to-day that permission had
been granted to transfer the Matte to

Army Contractors
May Cash Vouchers
Reserve Board Orders Paper
Accepted by Federal
Banks

Washington, March 27-rhe Federal
Reserve Board has ordered army vouch-
ers TO be accepted by Federal Reserve
banks as negotiable paper. This action
was taken to meet the emergency aris-
ing from the failure Of the last Cor
gress TO pass the army appropriation
bill and the deficiency bills to cover
border mobilization expenses.
Some time ago the quartermaster
general reported deficiencies totallirg
more than S3OO00,000. Since then new
obligations have been incurred 10 pro
vide supplies and equipment for the
army and National Guard and to re.
store reserve stocks depleted by the
border mobilization. Probably the to-
tai amount of business the War De-
partment must do on credit will pass
the $50,000,000 mark before appropria-
tions become available.
This burden was found too heavy for
contractors to carry unaided, and the
action of the Reserve Board enables
them to discount government paper a:

British to Buy Matte Newman;
Shipping Board Reverses Itself
Schooner That Was Going to Get Its Repairs by Jingol
or Body Would Know Why, May Now
Join Channel Service

dug the Matte Newman out OF the
sand and decided to make a transatlan-
tic voyage with her at the attractive
ocean rates which the war has brought
about.
The Matte and some Of the cargo
reached a British port in safety, but
return trip without a complete over
haul was out of the question. Appli-
cation TO shpyards revealed that no
repairs were TO be had. The owners
wanted to bring the Matte back home
for the coastwise lumber trade. The
Admiralty suggested MAT the vessel
be sold to the British, or at least
placed in the Channel service. The
owners agreed.
But the Shipping Board stepped in,
its chairman speaking Of the high
handed methods of the British in re-
fusing repairs 10 an American vessel
in distress. There were even hints OF
reprisals.
The State Department intimsted
that Mr.. Denman had chosen the wrong
time to continue the twisting Of the
lions tail, which he had begun as coun-
sci for a firm on the British blacklist,
and to-day's decision TO sell the Matte
and two other American vessels, the

Push
Convention Bill
Plan Return to Old System De-
spite Governor Whitman

From a stan Correspondent Of The Tnbunel
Albany, March 27.-The long talked
of movement in a certain influential
element of the Republican party to re
turn to the state convention IN spite
Of Governor Whitman's opposition
took definite form in the Legislature
to-day. The Senate Judiciary CONF
mittee authorized its chairman, Sena-
tor J. Henry Walters. to introduce
bill providing that delegates to an Of
fetal state convention shall be chosen
at the regular fall primary. The con.
venton is to choose the nominees Of
the party for state Offices who will
stand unless within fifteen days after
the convention petitions are filed on
behalf OF Independent candidates. In
that case another primary is TO be held
to determine the contest.
The bill will provide that this form
Of convention will also be used in the
selection Of judicial officers, except
county and municipal judges.
Governor Whitman will probably
veto such a bill, but the Republican
leaders in both houses -are determined
to make every effort to restore the con-
vention system.

Senators Draft
Strict Rules for
Mitchell Iquiry
Seek to Hold Mayor Down
to Proving Charge if
He Admits 1t
Queries To Be Limited
Wagner Committee Doesn't
Want General Heckling
Of City's Executive
Queries To Be Limited

From a stan Correspondent Of The Trbune.l
Albany, March 27.-The determine
tion of the special Committee on Pro-
ccdure to confne Mayor Mitchels ap-
pearance before the Senate strictly to
a substantiation or retractions Of the
disloyalty insinuation against Senator
Robert f. Wagner threatens serious
complications
Senators who are inclined to be hos
tile toward the Mayor intend to oppose
anything that looks like an attempt to
muzzle them in his interest. On the
other hand, it is distinctly realized that
the Mayor, if confined merely to an
swering two or three questions and not
permitted TO speak his mind freely
may raise the muzzling charge himself
and defeat the investigation.
The committee, however, will report
to the Senate tomorrow a plan of pro
cedure designed to prevent any heck
ling by Senators who may desire to
turn the inquisition into an investiga-
ton Of the whole Rockaway fort land
matter and if possible the West Side
improvement contract. The five Sem
ators who are working tonight on the
rules for the Mayors appearance, like
wise seek to hold the Mayor himself
down to an admission or denial of
making the charge against Senator
Wagner, and if an admission, TO fur
nishing proof Of his statement that
Senator Wagner appeared to be work
ing in Gcrmany's interest.
Committee May Get Counsel
u was announced tonight that the
committee. Of which Senator Charles
u. Newton. Of Genesee, is chairman,
would recommend the appointment Of
n committee Of five Senators TO manage
the inquisition of the Mayor.
The steering committee probably will
engage counsel. No questions will be
permitted. il is planned, unless through
the committee and its counsel, and
therein lies the difficulty to be faced
when the Senate comes to adopting the
procedure committee report.
The Mayor probably will be asked to
appear before the Senate Thursday. If
he fails TO comply with that request a
warrant will be issued by the Senate, to
lie served on the Mayor personally by
the sergeant-at-arms. The examination
of the Mayor will be directed toward
finding out whether the Mayor actually
said what was attributed to him, and
what grounds he had for the statement.
If the Mayors explanation fails TO
satisfy the Senate he could be adjudged
in contempt and imprisoned until the
md of the session. but the worst the
Mayor would get would be a censure
from the Senate
Precedents Are Sought
II is quite likely that Senator Edgar
T. Bracket. of Saratoga, may be the
COUNSEL for the steering committee.
Senator Bracket was called in by the
Procedure Committee tonight. The
committee spent most of the afternoon
and evening looking up precedents in
the Sulzcr impeachment and the Aids,
Cohalan and Stilwell cases. Senator
Bracket has been suggested as coun-

Meeting BetrUeen Mayor
And Senator Is Run1ored

Mayor Mitchell yesterday said he had
nothing to add TO his statement that
he would gladly appear before the SEN
ate at Albany to explain" his declara-
tion that Senator Wagner and other
members had appeared to work more
in the interests of Germany than the
United States in the Rockaway land
deal. When the Mayor left his Office
at the City Hall he said he had heard
nothing about Senator Ogden L. Mills's
mission to the city TO try to patch up
matters.
Senator Mills was expected at his
home early in the evening, but sent
word that he would not be home last
night until very late. if at all. Mayor
Mitchell conferred with Corporation
Counsel Hardy early in the evening at
the Mayors home, but could not be
reached later. II was supposed that
the Mayor and Senator Mills met
somewhere" for a conference.
