controversy as to what the sixth
Pan-American Conference will say

expected to be reached at today's
session of the special subcommittee
working on the problem.
The subcommittee, headed by
Charles r.. Hughes, meets behind
closed doors and that the session will
result in agreement was the opinion
Of most of it's members. 1t was
authoritatively forecast that the
agreement will not embarrass the
United States.
The subcommittee, it was learned,
will base it's recommendations on the
report submitted to the International
Law Commission by DIR. Victor
Maurtua, of Peru. 1T was under
stood the subcommittee had already
reached practical agreement on five
of the six sections of the Maurtua
report. Changes were made in the
original draft so as to meet the
wishes of the delegates, but the sub.
stance was preserved
The solution expected today it. was

draft Coolidge movement WHICH
has been kept alive by devious
means since the President said Il
do not choose to run.
Legally, of course, the Senate's
action would not serve as any
barrier to President Coolidge's can
didacy for another term. The sig
nificance of 1t lies in the fact that
more than two-thirds of the Senate
have now spoken against it, and
that of this number, Is are mem
bers OF the Presidents own party.
They have gone definitely on rec
ord as stating that any departure
from the two-term tradition would
be unWise, unpatriotic and fraught
with peril to our free institutions. ;"
From the standpoint of practical
politics, it was pointed out today,
all OF these 1S Republican Senators,
representing Is States, would be
bound to oppose any attempt by
the Kansas City conventions to re-
nominate Mr.. Coolidge next June.
Most of the Republican votes in
favor of the resolution came from
the Progressive group, but there
was a sprinkling of regular votes
as well. Senator Gillett of Massa-
chusetts was one of the regulars
who voted in favor Of it. He has
been at times the White House
spokesman on the floor OF the
Senate.
An effort will be made to pass
the La Toilette resolution in the
House. Representative Beck QR) of
Wisconsin has sponsored it there
However, administration leaders in
the lower branch declared them
selves against it.
The House i'm Grants time passed
an antf-third term resolution. The
Senate's vote, however, was the
first time in history that the upper
branch had ever expressed an
opinion on the tradition.
