when adjburnment was taken after
nearly five hours ot unbroken dis-
cussion Senator Reed republican
Pennsylvania b.ea4 0f the senate
delegation would only say that
"No decision had been reached."
The conference waa understood
to have determined informally how.
ever that lta authority under the
established procedure of . both
bouses would extend to a recorn
mendatloh for material changes in
the exclusion clauses because of
the senate amendment making
them effective Immediately wbure-
aa the house bill set the operative

quoted for the statement that this
change waa sufficient to throw the
whole subject open.
Consideration of exclusion will
be resumed by the conferees to-
morrow with an all-day . and pos-
sibly night session In view Sena
tor Reed's program still being pa

Considerable doubt was express
ed among senators today whether
the conference would accede to
the president's program and more
doubt that it would be ratified by
the senate If presented m a report
inquiries along this line Invariably
brought replies which involved a
repetition of the unusual majorities
by which first the exclusion sec
