Republicans Dodge a Vote on Hawaiian Resolution Debate
The House debate on the Hawaiian resolution featured strong speeches from both sides led by Mr. Culberson and Mr. Storer. General Sickles opposed the resolution, while the Blair amendment failed 156 to 77 and the minority substitute was defeated. A late quorum maneuver revoked leaves of absence and adjourned the House. In the Senate the Federal Elections Bill faced partisan hearings with a final vote delayed to tomorrow at 3 PM.
