SENATE IN BATTLE.
Right of Newberry to Seat
Challenged by Hitchcock.
Republicans Confident Vote
VIII Repudiate Ford Charge.

Washington, Jan. THE senate
plunged today into another stormy
debate on the right of Senator Tru-
man H. Newberry to retain his seat in
face of Henry Ford's charge that a
'-slush fund" of 100000 was en-
ployed to secure Newberry's nomina-
ton in the Michigan primaries of
1918.
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
acting Democratic floor leader in the
absence of Senator Underwood, of
Alabama, was helping to direct the
minority campaign against Newberry,
the success of which both sides admit
ted probably would hinge largely
upon the character of Newberry's own
defense.
The expected appearance of New
berry in the senate on Monday to read
a prepared statement in reply to the
charges made against him may prove
to be the turning point in the entire
controversy. it was stated.
The Republican leadership will
stand between Newberry and any at
tempt to heckle him, his friends de-
clared. They admitted, however, they
were deeply concerned as to the i'm
preston he would create, especially
upon those Republican senators who
are reported to be still doubtful as
to whether they should vote to seat
or unseat him"
The Republican leaders expressed
confidence, however, in their ability to
muster enough votes, no matter how
few, to command the majority neces-
sary to keep Newberry in his seat.
They conceded that the vote would
probably be extremely 'tclose,' but
they secuted the claim of some of
Newberry,s Republican opponents that
it might prove so close as to swing
the result against instead of for him.
