(COntinued from Page 1.) tion to have the house sergeant at-arms take the body, of H. c. Hopson" into custody under a war rant and hold him until the house committee was through with him.
 The resolution provided that the senate could question Hopson when the house group was not in session, but Black preferred to wait until the senate's Jurisdiction would be unquestioned.
 William A. Hill, Boston attorney for Hopson, appeared before the senate at noon to answer a cita- tion for allegedly helping Hopson to dodge the senate committee.
 The senate, however, decided to postpone his trial until Hopson all so could be brought in to answer the similar citation issued against him late yesterday. Senate sergeant -at-Arms Chesley Jurney made the rounds of Washington's fashionable hotels last night and today, but could not find Hopson. House agents had him hidden away. One Month On Trail "The evidence shows that for a month Hapson has been lodging, hiding and running to avoid ap- pearance before our committee, :" Black said.
 "It would be duplication of ef- fort to proceed with Hill until Hopson has been found."
 Black, eager to question Hopson about Associated Gas and Electric's $9OO,0OO campaign against the utilities holding company bill, in- cluding sending of fake telegrams to congressman, was still angry over the house procedure but re- signed himself to waiting.
 Moultrie Hit, representing Hop son and Hill. 'strode into the senate press gallery meantime to an- nounce:
 "Mr. Hopson directed me to say that he expected to appear before the senate committee as soon as he completes his testimony at the house rules committee. To Answer All Questions "It is his expectation and inten- ton to answer all questions, even those about his personal affairs, al- though he considers that manifest ly unfair. But he feels there are times when feelings must be sacri- feed to logic. a. "The senate committee" Black said, "has not sought to interfere with the examination of Hopson, but your committee does insist that he not be permitted to dodge and evade our subpoena. We will not permit him to appear when and where he chooses"
 He-O'Connor exercised undue and unprecedented right to keep a witness under his custody when that witness was not even testify ing."
 Under all rules of law and pro- cedure," Black concluded, "he (Hopson) is in contempt of the senate"
