 Washington, May 3 (p-Tho re- publican leaders of the house today sought 10 rcossabHsh their shattered voting lines for important ballots on the export deoenturc plan and other amendments 70 tho tariff bill writ ten into that measure by the sc7- ate's democratic-indepcndcnt rcpu5- Hcan coalition.
 In spite of yesterdays teverseg which fixed the sugar duty at two cents a pound on imports from Cuba. and stripped virtually all duties from lumber and shingles, the republican spokcsmcn wera confident Of q majority against the dcbcnturo proposal
 Hope to Complete Bill
 With votes also on the senate s plan for flexible tariff rates and its amendment to provide q reorganIza- ton Of the tariff commission, the Headers expected adjournment to- night 10 find all house action on th tariff measure completed. The scn- ate is 10 take up the conference re. port and the bills few provision still in dispute next week.
 The dcbonture plan, under which t is intended hat the farmers shall receive government bounty on exported agricultural commodities, first came into prominence in con neclion with the farm relief bil 1.hjch became law last summer. Twice. the senate voted to include lt in that measure and only roCedol from lis position after the house he disapprovcd it by q record of 259 10 l03.

 Under tho present tariff law, the president is empowered 10 reduce or increase tariff rates by 5o per cent Of their present amount after inves- tigatjon and recommendation by tho tariff commission.

ELECTION RESULTS WAITED
 FOR VIEWS OF COUNTRY
Official and Political Figures in Washington Aroused by Stayton's Statement That President is Not at Heart Dry-INpcrts Believe Him open Minded on Subject DryS SCOff at Claim.

Washington, May 3.-UP)-The administration attitude toward prohibition will not be further clari- fled until the final report Of the law enforcement commission is made, probably next December, responsible authorities acquainted with Prcsi- dent Hooycr's views said today.
 By that time the congressional elections will be over, and definite information will have been obtain ed 10 uphold or refutc the claims oi "wets' that there has been q change of public sentiment.
 Then, also, the Wickcrsham con- mission will have completed the most intensive study ever made of any modern issue in this country and full recommendations as 10 the wisdom of the prohibition policy can safely bc made.
 Hoover Has No Preference
 Mr. Hoover does not have q pre- ference for q report faVoring either the wet or dry causes, his friends declare. He is not welded 10 the present prohibition policy, hGay say, and would feel free 10 recommend modification or repeal if the com- mission selected either of these al ternatvcs as the best way out.
 He likewise would follow the con- mission Just. as cnergotically in q recommendation for retention Of the present system, those close 10 him say.
 Meantime hc will insist upon car rying forward his strict law enforce mcnt reform program as best he can in view Of the failure Of congress to provide all inc legislation recom- mendcd in the preliminary report ot the WiCkcrsham commission.
 These authoritative statements Of the executives views arc regarded with great interest here because O. the recent correspondence Of Will liam H. Stayton, head ol the Associ- a'ion Against the Prohibition Amendment, produced by the sch ate lobby committee. Those letters developed the b,C question: 'Is Hoover wet or dry?"
 Stayton in his correspondence la heled tho president q wet at heart, or at least not in sympathy with prohibition. The wet leader charged that the chief executive with six members of his cabinet believed 'prohibition is T failure"
 Answer Indirect
 The only answer which has come from the White House was indirect Jt was a message 10 congress, rc- coivcd while Stayton was on ths stand. Ii urged the senate and th. house 10 get busy and pass the seven pending law enforcement reform bills which Mr. Hoover said wcr, necessary if he was 10 carry out hi, sworn duty 10 enforce the law tC the best Of his ability.
 While Stayton was tcstifying yes. terday, Mir, Hoover was writing a second message asking congress tC provide $250.bO0 more 10 enable tn, law enforcement commission tt complete its work
 What the drys think about Mr Hoover and his prohibition attitud, will probably be developed by tn, committee next week when offjcial or the Anti-Saloon league, includins
