SENATE PUTS ASIDE
NEWBERRY CONTEST
Williams and Watson in
Heated Exchange Over
Henry Ford.
KEPT SON OUT OF WAR
Watson Declares left Over
WiIsonites' Are Opposing
Newberry.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.--The Ford
Newberry Senatorial election contest in
Michigan was laid aside by the Senate
tonight. probably not to come formally
.efore that body again for several weeks,
After a day of discussion in which
Henry Ford. who is contesting the seat
ing Of Senator Newberry, was both de-
nounced and defended ana which was
enlivened by heated tilt between Sem
ators Williams (Miss.r and Watson
(Ga.), Democrats. the eIecrion con-
troversy was sidetracKed to make way
for the conference report on the revenue
bill. The understanding developed that
little further consideration would be
given the case until late in December.
Senator Watson attacked Mr. Ford
and declared that "left over wilsonites"
in the Senate were seeking to retire
Mr.. Newberry because he had opposed
the League of Nations.
Mr.. Williams said he regarded Mr..
Ford as $50 far superior in altrlIism,
IN world sense and In world vision to the
Senator from Georgia (Mr. Watson) and
express 1t" He was interrupted by Mr..
Watson, who declared he had not asked
"clean bill Of health" from Mr.. Will
iams.
Mr.. Watson also charged that Mr.,
Ford had assessed his employees, "black-
mailed' them, he said, for $4,000 for
his expense account Mr. williams
denied that Mr.. Ford had ever done such
a thing and added:
II did not approve of Mr. Ford's
course during the war when the Senator
from Georgia was running with him.
when they both were trying to make
peace for common enemy
when the Senator states that he
states what is not true" shouted Senator
Watson.
Mr.. Williams inquired which part OF
his statement was not true and when in
formed continued:
Il take back that part of it in which
said he was running with Henry Ford
but 1 do not take back the part OF 1t in
which / said he was running against his
country"
Mr. Williams attempted to continue
but Mr.. Watson was shouting, 'It's
false!'' Other Senators were seeking
recognition from the chair, and Senator
Heflin (Ala.), who had held the floor
when the exchanges began, was vainly
trying to make himself heard above the
many voices and the pounding OF the
gavel by the Vice-President.
