lican members of the Senate Privil-
cges and Elections Committee de-
cided informally this afternoon to
reverse their action in dismissng
the contest brought by William Il.
Wilson, Democrat, against Senator
elect Ware of Pennsylvania.
A meeting of the committee was
called for ) p. IN. to take another
vote and Democrats who had pro-
tested the dismissal action were in
formed by Chairman Shortridge of
the committee, that Republicans now
were willing to accede to the DEM
ocratic suggestion that n sub-com-
mittee be appointed to recount the
pennsylvania ballots.
The Republicans retreated afte-
the Democrats had brought their
fight to the Senate floor, apparent
ly because the Democrats with the
Independents controlled a majority
there which could have repudiated
the committee action and made it
try the contest against its will.
Senator Reed of Missouri intro
duced resolution ordering the
committee to conduct the recount
but announced formally he did not
think it would be necessary to press
it.
Shortridge would not comment on
the announcement but Reed and
Senator Caraway, Democrat, Ark
ansas, both members of the commit
tee, said they had received assur-
ance the Republicans chad a change
