VARIES POSITION STILL DOUBTFUL
Wednesdays Partial Victory
 May Not Long Continue

Washington, Jan. 26 N-Senator- Elect Ware of Pennsylvania has won one skirmish in the double campaign being waged against him and his senate seat but there was no cer- tainty today that the victory would be long lived.
 Immediately after the senate elections committee voted late yes- terday to dismiss the contest peti- ton of William B. Wilson. Vare's democratic opponent for the office. Senator Reed. democrat, Missouri. made ready to ask the senate to override the committee and direct it to entertain Wilson's contest.
 Reed. chairman of the slush fund committee that disclosed large ex- penditures in Vare's campaign. pro- posed to have tho senate order the elections committee to proceed at once with the counting of ballots in six Pennsylvania counties where Wilson has charged conspiracy ex- isted against him. He was confi- dent that the cor nittee vote s to 6 on party lines, that dismissed Will sons petition for lack of particulars. would be overthrown by the senate because 1t already has recognized the democratic candidates contest.
 Pending settlement of that issue. Wilson has 25 days granted him by the committee in which to file an amended complaint.
 Wilson's case against Ware Is en- tirely separate from Chairman Reeds challenge of Vare's creden- tials. The latter contest still is with Reeds committee, which will make further inquiry of both pri- mary and general election campaign expenditures.
 The republicans who swung the committee decision against the Will son petition were Chairman Short ridge. California; Watson. Indiana Greene. Vermont; Deneen. Illinois: Edge. New Jersey: Steiwer. Oregon; Waterman, Colorado and Moses New Hampshire. Besides Reed the democrats who favored the petition were King. Utah: George, Georgio Nicely. West Virginia; Caraway.
