WASHINGTON.

 At midnight when the debate he'd developed strong indications that the bills opponents intended to prevent a vote before the session expires at noon tomorrow. the manifesto had been signed by more than a majority of the senate and friends of the bill said that in the end il would bear the signature of 90 per cent.
 IL was the intention to hold back the document until it became certain that no vote would be permitted and then to read it into the senate record with the names of those who had stood be- hind the presidents program attached. The leaders had not entirely abandoned hope of saving the measure and some of them thought circulation of the manifesto for signatures had increa sed the possibilities Of passage IL was conceded however, that the possibility still was remote.

Al the primary cleo ton one year ago with registration of a little more than 5000, the primary brought out 3560 voters and the gvner- al election 1856. Of course on that occasion there was a mayor to elect as well as two commissioners Great CT interest was manifest then because it meant a change in the majority of the commission.
 The foregoing table shows the total vote cast at each of the six polling places for each candidate as well as the total number of voters casting ballots. It shows, too. that Dunlap led in three precincts while Work led in the other three. IL tells the whole story of yesterdays primary in a nut shell.
 One week from tomorrow the city register will again be opened for sup plemental registration of qualified voters whose names do not appear on the city register compiled last year. and who did not avail themselves of the opportunity to register during the period of supplemental registration held for some time preceding the pri mary election yesterday. This second supplemental registration will close ten days before the general election Of April B.
 There is certain to be a vigorous campaign from now until the general election. the four candidates having announced that they will go into the contest now with will. At the gen. eral election several proposed amend ments to the city charter will be voted upon. as well as some ordinances re- ferred. and il is probable that bond issues may be voted upon for various improvements.

 The next bill in the committee of the whole was one for the abolition of the board of control and the substitution of another method of handling the affairs of the, state. Mrs. Marsh of santa Cruz moved the amendment of the house bill substituting for it the sen ate appropriation committee bill. That is known as the commission on insti- tutions bill. which by the way. is not yet as far along in the senate as the house bill was in the house. Yet the substitution was made.

 WASHINGTON, March 4.-Early this morning the senate agreed to a house resolution postponing tne effective date on the Reed bone dry amendment until July l.
 By vote of 2S4 to S6 the house late yesterday adopted a joint resolution designed to postpone enforcement of the "bone dry" amendment to the pos tai bill, which was signed by President Wilson and became effective yesterday. until July 1. Supporters of the resolu- tion entertained faint hope that it could be rushed through the senate before adjournment
 Members of congress, including Rep resentatiye Randall Of California. pro- hibitionist. contended that the resolu- tion would not legally extend the eff fective date because the bill including the Reed amendment already had been signed =by the president and the pro- visions could be changed only by pass age of law amending It.

WASHINGTON, March 4-The six ty-fourth congress was approaching it's close early today with failure of some of the major administration measures certain, and the fate of others hanging in the balance.
 Held up by the determined opposi- tion of q small group of senators who threatened to proiong debate until the end of the session at noon, the presi- dents armed neutrality bill Was giving the leaders most concern
 The naval bill, with ;ts provisions for continuing the big building pro- gram. was one of the measures caught in the legislative jam, but it was saved when the senate shortly after 1 o'clocz interrupted debate on the neutrality bin to approve a conference report al ready accepted by the house.
 Outstripping the senate in clearing away legislative odds and ends the house recessed at 12:52 a. m. to 10 a. m. There was no prospect that the senate would interrupt its session until expira- tion at noon.
 Democratic and republican leaders united in an effort to break down the opposition in the senate and bring the armed neutrality measure to vote Through the morning hours unusual pressure was brought 10 bear but with little promise of success.
 The annual army appropriation bill and the civil sundry bill were among the measures of whose passage the leaders virtually has despaired
 By recessing as soon as the immedi- ate business was disposed Of instead of waiting in session for the senate report, itself ready for adjournment, the house cut short the period of song and cele- bration that usually occupies the clos ing hours of a session. Although the galleries were crowded, there were few dramatic features in either house or senate.
 If when the clocks approachrthe hour of noon-the time when the sixty fourth congress dies by law-there is still chance of doing something more. the hands of the clocks will be turned back and congress officially will make itself believe that there is still more time
 Tonight the house was in better condition than the senace where the opposition to the armed neutrality bill which President Wilson wants to deal with the German submarine menace. tied the legislative situation into hard knot.
 The opposition from the republican side was negligible. but was pronounced from Senator Stone, democrat, and chairman of the foreign relations com mittee. Fears were expressed tonight that If vote on the bill were not se- cured hy o'clock tomorrow morning. II probably would fail. Even after the senate acts, it must go back to the house for agreement
