By Associated Press

Baton Rouge, La, June 2-Although advocates of federal woman's suffrage were unwilling to concede final defeat of their plans for putting through reso- lution ratifying the Susan B. Anthony amendment, states rights supporters claimed passage in the lower house Of the Louisiana legislature today of the so-called states rights bill was practi- -cally equivalent to elimination of legis- lation favorable to the federal amend ment.
 There was no expression as to when a vote would be had on the resolution
 The vote in the house on the Upton bill providing for an amendment to the state constitution giving the right of suf- frage to women was carried by vote of 93 to IT, far in excess of the necessary two-thirds majority.
 s. O. Shattuck, ratification leader, fur nished a feature of the voting when he cast his ballot in favor of the states rights bill
 The states rights bill went to third reading in the senate and was returned to the calendar subject to call It was announced that it would be brought up for action as soon as the necessary forty eight hours have elapsed. which will be Friday.
 Whether ratificationists will force vote at an early date on their resolutions was not indicated tonight. Apparent charge in sentiment in the lower house, which had previously been conceded to the rati- fcation forces, was regarded by both sides as significant, the states rights ad- vocates asserting it showed increased strength for them and the ratificationists declaring the action of today indicated
