LET UP FOR THE J HOLIDAY j DEMOCRATS IN CONFERENCE WORK ON CURRENCY BILL AND, EX ! PECT TO HAVE IT IN SHAPE j AND MADE A PARTY MEASURE i BY TO-MORROW. HITCHCOCK AT HOME SURPRISED BY ACTION Washington, D. C, Nov. 27. Thanksgiving day was spent by the senate Democrats hard at work in con ference on the administration curren cy bill with geared up legislative ma chinery moving at a rapid rate. The conference made such progress that the currency leaders declared the bill, with possibly one section excepted, would be ready for consideration by the senate when the conference fin ished its evening session. In the absence of Senator Hitchcock, no one presented the amendments he and the five Republicans of the committee had framed, and the conference sped through section after section, consid ering the Owen-Glass bill practically without change. Senator O'Gorman, who aided Senator Owen in present ing the bill to the conference, predict ed that with the exception of the sec tion fixing the number of regional re serve banks, the bill would be com pleted today. The number of banks has not been decided on and was passed over at the request of Georgia senators, who fear- ed that Atlanta might be handicapped if a regional bank were created In some other southern city, probably New Orleans. It was understood that an attempt might be made to pass a resolution binding the Democrats to support the administration bill. Senator Hitchcock was expected to refuse to Bupport the conference bill. Senator Lane of Oregon, has so far de clined to go into the conference and Senator Newlands, while attending the conference, has an original plan which he intends to press on the floor of" tht-senate,,, . ..,-.--,...,. . The deflection of three Democrats might impair the majority in the sen to-late if the Republican lines hold. to yesterday's action of the Democrat ic senators on the currency bill: "The calling of the Democratic con ference was a surprise to me. I heard nothing of it until I was starting to take the train Tuesday afternoon. Senator Owen's speech on Monday in dicated a conciliatory disposition. "This led me in my speech on Tues day to adopt a similar plan and to confine my arguments to the merits of the bill agreed upon by my section of the committee and reported by me. "A general spirit of feeling pre vailed on both sides of the senate chamber and the prospect for an amic able adjustment of differences and early action seemed bright. To some extent this has been marred by the excessive zeal of the conference. "Its drastic action in ordering ses sions day and night, including the "Another possible result is that the j Republicans may resort to a filibuster out of resentment and If this should occur, the passage of the bill might be delayed instead of expedited.
