NAY fx,NEER TODAY.

Some conferences are in prospect in
Wilmington this afternoon between Re
publican leaders and members of the Legs
lature on the suffrage question.
Governor Towsend was in Wilmington
today, but he said his visit had no political
significance.
According to report current here today,
the attitude of Speaker Corbit and Rep
resentatives Dean, DanzeDbaker and
Stats is in doubt, with the indications
that Speaker Corbit and Representative
Dean, who have been counted for ratI-
fication, and Representative Stats, who
rs claimed by the antis. will vote for rati
fication, and Representative Danzenbaker,
who has been claimed by the Suifragists,
will vote against the resolution.
The lists of the Suffragists and anti's
do not agree. According to a prominent
Wilmington Republican, some who are
marked up for the resolution will vote
against it, and vice versa. This same Re
publican says the House round robin
now has the signatures of 23 members
1t seems significant that among Repub-
hcan leaders sentiment is divided. Some
are taking no part whatever. while some
are actually working against ratification.
At local suffrage headquarters IL was
reported today that Governor Clement of
Vermont had said he would call special
session to consider suffrage, if it was
shown to him that such call was neces-
sary.
Suffragists today seemed to feel that
they had the votes To pass the ratification
resolution in the presumably if
they could enlist Senator Brown Of Sea
fofd--and while most of them admitted
a shortage Of three necessary 10 pass the
House, they were optimistic as To the
result OF the missionary work over the
weekend. Anti-suffragists say, however,
that their supporters in the Assembly have
not weakened and they feel sure of block
ing ratification.
President Pro TEN |. -. Short Of the
Senate and House Clerk James A. Hrons
were in Wilmington today. Mr.. Short
came up, however. as guest of his
brother, Rev. f. Burgotte Short, who is
attending the NJ T.. Conference.
Tho difficulty of believing that Della
ware Republicans will deliberately joopar-
dizo the success of their party IN the ma
tlonai elections next November is ground
for hope that the Republican majority
IN the Legislature will put through rati-
hcation OF the suffrage amendment during
the coming week IS the statement of Miss
Alice Paul national chairman Of the
Woman's Party who is in Wilmington for
the week end Millions Of women who
arc already enfranchisrd have their eyes
fixed today not so much upon the State
of Delaware but upon the Republicans
of this State on whom the final response
hility rests. said Miss Paul. Mrs.
Florence Bayard Hilles. State chairman of
the Woman's Party declared while Legis-
lature is adjourned over Sunday political
leaders and suffragists in every part Of the
State and nation are working TO make sure
of favorable action in Delaware when the
vote on ratification is taken.

FATE OF SUFFRAGE
Continued from pasc 1

Daniel J. Layton, chairman of the Re-
publican State Committee, conferred
with number Of his followers, and before
he took the train for home last night, as
serted he could sec no change in the situa-
tion. 'If you knew how the people in
my district feel about this thing" said
Mr.. Layton, ''you would understand the
obstinacy Of these men. Their vote in
favor Of ratification would be the biggest
surprise of my political career"
TITS strange how some Of the other
States have suddenly become solicitous
about Delaware" he remarked as he read
the latest appealing telegram.
II is thought likely that Senator
Walker will not report the measure be-
fore next Tuesday or Monday afternoon at
the earliest. There were possibilities that
he would do SO on Monday morning, but
there seems to be no hope in this direction
now.

JOINT SESSION HELD.
At 11.30 o'clock the members of the
lay conference entered the auditorium
OF the church for joint session. Judge
Henry Conrad introduced the four lay
delegates to the General Conference
Bishop Mcdowell addressed the joint
session on the relation of the church
to the world of today. Never since the
world began, he said, was the church
so necessary as it is now. 1t must be a
steadying influence In a time of storm.
Ii must be a mediating influence between
conflicting forces.
The church is also called upon, Bishop
Mcdowell said, TO be a preventive force.
In the past it has too often allowed
things to go TO smash and concerned
itself only with picking up the pieces.
1t can become a constructive force which
will not allow these wrecks to happen.
Members of Wilmington Methodist
Episcopal Conference have been assigned
to preach at the church services tomorrow
