WASHINGTON, Sept. ia delega-
ton of Tennessee an4i-suffragists,
headed by Speaker Seth Walker, and
including Representatives Frank Hall,

Frost and Frank P. Stahlman, arrived
in Washington tonight. The delega-
ton will call On Secretary Colby to-
morrow morning and ask that Tennes-
sees final action be recognized and an
nounced by the State Department.
Precedent for this request is found
in the action Of Secretary of State
Seward in conditionally proclaiming
Fourteenth Amendment, and that of
Secretary Of State Hamilton Fish in
preclaiming the Fifteenth Amendment.
In both cases. although there were
enough ratifying states otherwise, the
State Department announced with
drawals, while in the present case the

The Tennessee ants planned this
action q week ago, but postponed it
when advised that Connecticut also had
ratified the suffrage amendment. Feel
ing in Tennessee is so intense on this
issue. however, that it was decided to
carry out the original program, regard
less of any other state action. The
ants, in their court briefs. as in the
Maryland and Louisiana rejection res
olutions, contend that Congress, under
Articles ~, V, TX and x Of the Consti-
tuition, had no power to propose such
an amendment. and that il it did Ten

have not legally ratified in any case.
The Tennessee delegation will make
