While the democratic national plat form advocated the remission of tolls to coastwise vessels, a number of leaders In the null free passage fight think some democrats may be willing to vote for tlie repeal of the provision now, so that the entire matter may be left open when Mr. Wilson takes office. The Hoot amendment will be taken up by the senate committee on In terocea tile canals tomorrow. Senator lloot will be heard latir. It is pos sible that other heail""s will be given to advocates and niii"" iiih of the provision. The no-toll provision passed tin. senate by a large "iiijor Ity. Fnless a number of deiiii cuts change their position the passage of the Itoot amendment does not appear probable.
