upward, Mrs. Roben giving of her tai

CONTEST OVER DRY LAW
IN NEW YORK is SHIFTED

ALBANY. n. Y, January os.-A final
vote on the McNab resolution to ratify
the federal prohibition amendment will
be taken in the senate tomorrow. This
was decided at noon after the resolution
had been advanced from the general or
ders calendar to the order of final adop-
ton.
The adoption of the ratification res
olution by the senate was virtually
assured as a. result of the action
early today of the republican sena-
tors, who, after long executive seS
sion which began last evening. voted
25 to to make ratification a party
measure.
Senator George F. Thompson of
Niagara. father of the ratification
resolution in the upper house, had
given notice of his intention to move
today to suspend the rules so that
the resolution could be considered.
The decision of the democrats not TO
oppose advancement today came as a
surprise. Minority Leader Foley, in
making the announcement, said that
it would be useless to spend two days
in debating the measure as long as the
republicans had the votes.
