 The vote to invoke the existing clo- ture rule was 45 to 35, or less than the necessary two-thirds majority. The democrats were unit against the motion, which also was opposed by five republicans. The roll call follows:
 For the motion. Republicans Ball, Bursum. Calder. capper. Curtis. Du- pont, Edge. Ellsins, Ernest, Fonald, France, Frelinehuysen. Gooding, Hale, Harreld, Johnson. Jones of Washing ton, Keilogg.

 Delivering the first of promised series of attacks on the tariff. sena- tor LoFollette declared the only way the republican party could be saved from defeat in the congressional cleo tions In November and from "disas- ter" In the presidential election in. 1924, was to recommit the bill for re- writing on the basis of "the old re- publican principlen of merely equaliz- ing tho difference In the cost of pro- duetion at home and abroad. If that could not be done. he added, the legis- la ton should be abandoned.

- SHOALS BIDS WILL

 MEETING, BELIEF
Unless Ford Proponents Can Effect Delay of Committees Report, Results Will Be
 Fruitless
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Axe-TiernId, HilO DaxideOs. Hnfldinr.

sssz bOD Davidson buildinE.
 Washington. July 7.-(Special.) The meeting of the Senate committee on agriculture Thursday night to permit bidders for Muscle Shoals to modify their offers should they desire to do so, will be productive of no re- suit, it is indicated here tonight.
 The Alabama Power company wH- not amend Its offer by, agreeing to manufacture fertilizer and Henry Ford cannot amend his. offer by eliminating the Gorgas steam plant or reducing tho proposed lease from 100 to 50 years while the offer. with out such modification, pends in the House with a prospect of passage.
 No Need to Act
 The delay was won by the ad- vocates of Ford offer. who did not desire an immediate expression by the committee of its sentiment. Senator Harrison of Mississippi. the main de- pendence of Ford on the committee, declared today that in his opinion it would serve no purpose for the com mittee to act now. inasmuch as 1t was certain that 1t would act adversely to Ford. It is his idea that the Senate committee should delay action until the House had acted.
 The delay desired by the Ford sena- tors for still another reason, it was learned today. It will he incumb bent on them to prepare minority report. They have not 3egun such prepara- ton. On tho contrary. Senator Nor rls has completed .his report reeom- mending the government ownership and excorlating Ford's offer. It is regarded as probable tonight that the Ford advocates will be able, under various pretexts, to delay the sub. mission of the committee report and the minority report for possibly a month.

 CL0TURE AS BLIND
Underwood Says Effort to Blame Democrats For De- lay of Tariff; Press and
 Public With Democrats
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The Age Herald,
 H0O DnvtdsOu Kuiidfng


 300 Davidson Building.
 Washington, July 7.-(Special.) The strategy involved in the repub- lican movement today for a rule of cloture was based on hope that the country might become impressed with the idea that republican failure to enact tariff Legislation was due to democratic obstruction, according to Senator Oscar w. Underwood, dem ocratic leader, in an interview to- night.
 That the movement was initiated in knowledge that It would be de- feated. and that 1t was made in kind of desperation purely for political ef- feet, Senator Underwood declared to be true.
 Tt was ridiculous plan." contln- ued the senator.
 Would Gag senate
 "The country understands that there was no injustice In an attempt to gag the Senate prior to a discussion of the most important schedules. those relating to cotton, wool and dyes. Tho country also understands that after the republicans had been permitted sometime by unanimous consent to make amendments to their schedules. 1t was foolish for them to attempt a rule under which democrats could make no amendments.
 Tt was solely a political ruse. con- ceived in desperation. doomed to cer- tain defeat. and destined only to emphasize the indefensible nature of the republican bill. The country is with the democrats in their fight against tho bill. l have never seen the country. people and press of all political persuasions, more. united against a proposed party measure. The republicans are sick of 1t. and yet they cannot do as they would like to do, namely. drop it"
 Robinson Plays
 The duplicity of the republican strateSists are exposed further by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, who declared that even were the bill to be enacted under cloture within two weeks, 1t could not be sent to the House until after August 15.
 Senator Underwood repeated to- night his former statement that the democrats would not upnecessariiy delay the passage of the bill. He sx- pressed determination. however. adequately to discuss and dissect 1t. He declared that the country demand ed this service of democrats
 It was his prediction that the bill would pass the Senate by August 10.

HAGUE CONF FERENCE
 WEARS RUPTURE ON RUSSIAN QUESTION
Only Intervention of Krassin, the "Conciliator," Saves Conference From Fate
 of Genoa Meeting

The Hague, July 7.-The Hague conference. following the dramatic pathway of Genoa's famed conclave, came very near rupture today, the issue of which the conference threat ened to split being the treatment of confiscated property in Russia.
 What Russia proposed to do in the way of restitution. as explained of- ficially by Maxim Litvinoff the Rus sian spokesman. fell like a cold shower on the expectant delegates. Sir Phillip Lloyd Greame, the British delegation member, arose and de- clared it was perfectly absurd to con- tinue the discussions unless more satisfactory issuances were forth coming. NJ Krassin--"K Krassin, the ,conciliator. as he is beginning to be called-saved the day by suggest ing mildly that controversial matters be left aside for the moment and a real effort be made to find a common ground based on mutual advantage.
 Difficulty Starts
 The difficulty started at the after noon session of the conference when NJ. Litvinoff read a long list of oil and other concessions which Russia was ready to give to foreigners. M Cattler. Belgium. suggested 1t would be nice" if M. Litvinoff would ex- plain which of the properties listed were under foreign ownership pre- vious to their confiscation, and what foreign properties were excluded from the list.
 M Litvinoff replied that he could not say whether the properties be- lcnged previously to foreigners or Russians.
 Do you really mean" Sir Philip Lloyd-Greame asked. that, having nationalized these properties and ad- ministered them, you do not know whether the owners are foreigners or Russians?"
 Approximate Estimate
 Exactly" replied M. .Litvinoff-
 Sir Philip then asked:
 Can you give an approximate estf- mate of the proportion of properties under foreign ownershipT'
 Maxim Litvinoff replied:
 My answer to- that is that, first, we must agree as to what foreign ownership means"
 M. Cattier said:
 We understand there is no Ques- tion of restitution to the exalted pro- prietor and that Russia will grant concessions to any foreign capitalist who is ready to invest money and not necessarily to former owner"
 To this the Russian spokesman made the answer:
 we do not go back on what we said at Genoa. namely, that the first option of concessions would be of fered to former owners" A long. excited discussion followed, with frequent murm of astonish- ment or disapproyal.
