Conferences may be arranged between Governor Sproul, Senator Vnre nnd Senator Au gustus P. Dalx, Jr., to "Iron out" the differences of opinion which now exist on the Philadelphia charter bill. Such a suggestion has been made by Senator palx, who will "steer" the charter bills In the Senate. Senator Dalx remained hero until late j esterday, In the hope of conferring with Oovernor Sproul on tho proposed conference. The Governor was sched uled to reach the Capitol esterday, but was unexpectedly detained In Wash ington at the conference of Governors. It was reported that Senator Pen rose would accompany the Governor to Harrlsburg, but the delay In the Gov ernor's departuro Is said to have caused Senator Penrose to change his plans The senior Senator has been expected to pay the legislature u vIMt similar to the one he made two jears ngo.

Among the legislators from other sections of the stato there Is a feeling of apathy townrd the bills. Governor Sproul pledged the charier revisionists, at tho i barter revision con ference dinner In Philadelphia, to u-o his Influence, In behalf of tbo charter meaaures, The Governor Is much Inter ested In charlor reform. Dut when ho pledged his Influence in behalf of a new charter, ho specified ctrtaln things, one of which was that ohnrtqr revisions should be carried out "along practical lines." Senator Dalx, who wnnts to do every thing possible to assist the charter re visionists In getting it more modern char ter for Philadelphia, Is anxious to have the bill whipped Into such shapo that It will receive support In the legislature.

When tho subject of charter re islon, was first broached, predictions' of a factlounl row,, which would disrupt the present Legislature much In the manner tn which the session was two Jcars us-o, wero widespread. There Is a general feeling now among the legislators that an agreement will he reached on the charter measures and that they wilt go through the Legislature with llttlo or no Hurry, Should an agreement be reached It Is certain that provisions of tho bill which are nbjectlonnblo to both ends of the ltepubllcan organisation In Phlla delphla will be eliminated from the measures.
