Suffragists Hope to Force Session of Legislature Norwnll., Conn., March 27. (By A. P.) Woman suffragists have redoubled J. He 'Republican national committee' of tho Connecticut Genernl Assembly to S'llil."15", .'',"? I consider ratification of tho federal amendment. Miss Alice I'nul, national chairman of the National Womnn's party, today sent word that snouiu unvernor Hoi iimui ouiirn otruumi xjuii ur, hot-foot ncaln on Thnrsilnv. with In . structipns to use nil influenco nt hi I COIlimnnil to Irwin lm T?nncilillenn command to Induce the Republican members of tho Legislature to vote for nmucatlon Layfon Allied to Explain When Congressman Caleb It. Lay ton returned to Washington last Tues day lie wns Immediately summoned to a meeting by the congressional campaign committee. He wns called upon to ex plain why it wns that his son Daniel ' Lnyton, of Sussex county, chairman of the Republican state committee, was so bitterly opposing ratification when his father was actively In its favor, and particularly when the national Repub lican organizations were vitnlly inter ested In the resolution. Congressman Lay ton, it is said, re plied thnt his son, the stnte chairman, was acting on his own initiative, and anyhow the Republicans of Sussex county, controlled by tho Laytons, were bitterly onnosed to counl suffrncp. Some J hot exchanges of opinion too', place una inc suujcct wn3 left in nn unsettled stnte. At the close of the first week of tho evtra session there is little doubt that the antis hold the whip hand and n small majority of the vote. It is the belief of Senntor Ball and Governor Townsend thnt enough members will reverse their attitude to give the amend ment n majority of one or two. Of course the names of these members nre not openly discussed. Situation Hard to Understand Mo't all of the claims of anti-suffrnge strength hnve been put forth by Rep resentative McNnbb, tho Democratic iloor leader. His attitude as the scf constltuted leader of' the opposition grndually got on the nerves of the Re publicans of the House before adjourn ment yesterday. It was Mr. McNabb's desire to defeat the bill this week. It was the opposition to McNabb's tactics that led the Republican members in conference yesterday to declare that the resolution should not bo reported out of committee before Tuesday. It is regarded as a hopeful sign and fa vorablo to the amendment. It is difficult for nuy one unfamlliur with Delaware politics to understand the complexities of this situation. Tbe action of tho Republican legislators particularly in making their local Is sues in so small a state paramount to tho wishes of the entire Republican party of the country is not understood. As I have already pointed out tho color comb decline to use his "permissive .power" to call a special session of the Uenerai Assemuiy, mc suurngists would "fall back on the primary and funda mental right of the General Assembly to convene itself in general session."
