ON QUESTION Of

Leaders Undecided as to
Whether Recess Will Be

BY GEORGE r. HOLMES.

1t appeared to be a fifty-fifty bet
today whether Congress will adjourn
on November 10. the eve Of the arma,
ment conference, or continue straight
through and sit in Washington while
the world statesmen are meeting in the
Pan.American building.
Administration leaders have sounded
out sentiment In both branches of Con.
gress and have found opposition to an
adjournment so pronounced that to,
day the project was virtually shelved
for the time being.
Neither the White HOUSE nor the
State Department relishes the idea OF
having Congress in session during the
early stages at least Of the armament
conference. 1t is feared that partisan
speechnlaking and unrestricted utter.
ances on foreign affairs may he EN-.
barrassing to the American delegation
and to the Administrations host to

Accordingly. Speaker Gillett in the
House. and Senator Curtis, the RE.
