Tho drle on tho Administration was reopened In tho hen.ito today when Senator ilctelier, of Florldi, mocd to lime the speech of IMnard JI. Hurley, chairman of the United Males shipping board, mado In New York on March 20, printed as n public dpcumont. Senator MeCumber, of North tul.otn, jumped to nil feet nnd declared thut ho would not object to tho printing of the rpeech, but he wanted tho public to know that tho statement mado by Hur ley "need! explaining" 'It Indicates n plain of affairs tint In not realized In actualities," Senator McCumbcr declared. Senator Nelson, of MmneBOt.i. then 1 broke In that he bcllevtd Mr. Hurley's statement that 103 uhlpl lme been launched was misleading.

Senator Fletcher attempted to explali; tli statement mado by Hurley, and Sen ator Martin, of Virginia, tho inlnorl leader, attempted to end tho debate by calflns fur tho regular order. Ho was unsuccessful. Senator Chamberlain also attempted to stop the debate In order that military litis might bo taken up, but Senator MeCumber lnslted that he would com plete bis argument for n wider shipbuild ing! policy. Tho debate turned to politics, nnd for n few minutes It nppearcd that there would be a recurrenco of jesterdij's partisan fight. Senator I'lctcher, of flor- iaa, paeu mo way wnen ne remarueu "It comes with poor graco for the gm- llemen on the other side of tho chamber (Republicans) to criticize tho shipping board when they blocked the shipping bill three yearn ago." This opened a general bombardment from tho Republican side nnd the old fight oer the shipping bill was reopened, with Senators Fletcher and Heed, or Mis. sourl, on tho defenslo for tho Demo crats, nnd Senators femoot, Galllnger and MeCumber on tho orfen3lo for the Xlepubllcans. Senator Thomas, of Colorado, tools up the role of the doo of peace. Ho re called to tho Senate that this Is the eighty-first birthday of Senator Gallln ger, and characterized him as the "most lcnablo member of the Senate." In a short speech ho spoke In glowing words of tho long serlces of tho New Hampshire Senators Senator Galllnirer responded. Senator Knox offered the con gratulations, of tho llepubllcans, nnd Senators Fletcher and Heed also offered tnori congratulatory speeches. Senator Iteed, of. Ilsourl, roso to severely crltldzo those who liae brought partisan politics Into the de bate and at tho same time to call to book what ho termed "overstated facts" Republican Senators, frankly declar ing "all bars clown." openly counter charged rresldent Wilson with "play ing politics" An old-fashioned "knock-down and drag out" political fight was a-brewlng Sitting quietly on tho side lines and watching the row nn Senator Cham berlain, of Oregon, chairman of the Mili tary Committee, and other Democrats who warned tho Senato last December that tho war progress way not adequate to the emergency.
