NEW YORK, Sept. Son the
none too broad shoulders of young
Tommy Hitchcock, rated as one of
the best polo players the game has
ever produced, rest the fortunes of
the American big four in the inter-
national championship matches for
the Westchester Cup which begin
tomorrow at the Meadow Brook
Club at Westbury, N. Y. If-and
1t is a great big Hitchcock is in
anything like good condition, the
prospects are that the historic
trophy which has been shutting
back and forth ACROSS the. Atlantic
for more than forty years will re.
main safely in the United States
for at least another three years.
But il Tommy. who was
gaSsed in the war and is. now
suffering increasingly, from the
effects Of that experience, should
not be able to play through the

three matches, the English four
stands an excellent chance Of

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Sen-

drawn into the Senate controversy
over Senator James A. Reeds cleo

when Senator Gooding Rep.), Idaho,
charged that the Reed committee
had attempted to show Watson was
a member of the Ku-KluX Khan.
Watson recalled that Reed had seen
him in Indianapolis before the In
diana primary, and, according to
Watson, Reed said:
Senator, you said in your state
ment one thing 1 had not expected
that you were not member Of the
Ku-Klux Khan. 1 understand there

WORN BUT GRIM,
REED CONTINUES
SENATE BATTLE
AII-Night Session Runs
Through Day in Fight
Over Election Probes.

Bar United Press
WASHINGTON, March 3.-Worn
to exhaustion from twenty-four
hours continuous session, but still
obdurate, Senator James A. Reed
Dem.), Missouri, successfully re-
PEELED attacks in the Senate today to
displace his resolution authorizing
investigation of Republican cleo
tons.
Senator David A. Reed Rep),
Pennsylvania, today threw the Sen
ate into CONSERVATION with presenta
ton Of the credentials of Senator
elect William S. Ware Rep), Penn
sylvania.
Reed played the trump card in
his fighting game against the Demo
Gratis by offering new credentials of
Ware issued several days ago by Gov
ernor John S. Fisher of Pennsylva-
mia. He admitted he had buried in
his desk drawer credentials issued
several weeks ago by former Gov
ernor Pinchot of Pennsylvania, sug-
costing Ware had been only "appar-
emily" elected. The intimation was
that the election was fraudulent.
The presentation offered a new di-
lemma for Senators in the most COM
plicated and dramatic legislative bat
tie of recent years-a battle raging
uninterrupted since IL a. IN. yester-
day.
Senator Reed, Democrat, refused
to permit reading of the credentials,
and intimated he might move to re-
fer them to the Privileges and Elec-
tons Committee. If he made this
motion, however, it might lead to
debate which would in the end en-
able Republican filibusterers to kill
his resolution and all pending legisla-
ton.
Sleepy-eyed Senators voted at $40
a. M, SO to "a, to continue to con-
slider the Reed resolution rather than
take up the deficiency appropriation
bill. although final adjournment Of
Congress was only twentysix hours
away from the deadlocked Senate.
The battle proper started at 6:10

the Andrews prohibition reorganiza-
ton bill by a vote of II to 6, thereby
killing the wet flibuster against that
measure.
Upon Senator James Reeds motion
the Senate then took up the pri-
mary resolution by a vote of So to "a.
Motions to adjourn and quorum
calls were frequent up to just be-
fore midnight, when Senator Cam
eron Rep.), Arizona, obtained the
floor and delivered three-hour ora
ton on various subjects, including
almost everything but the Reed
resolution. He was the first of the
Reed resolution filibusterers to make
a long speech in the attempt to kill
time to prevent a vote on the plan.
! Cameron's voice gave out at 1870

New York, another of the fi1buster-
ers, then took the floor and held it
sporadically until 5 a. ~.
At a. m. Senator Cole L. Blease

nished comedy relief from the grim
all-night battle, held the floor and
