DELAWARE HOUSE DEFERS ACTION ON SUFFRAGE Dover, Del, May 6.—Despite the ef- forts of anti-suffragists to force a vote in the lower house of the Delaware fe; islature today on the resolution to rati- fy the federal suffrage amendment ad- journment was taken until May 17 with- out any action on the measure. Suffrage leaders admitted they lack at least three votes to pass the measure in the house at_this time: The refusal of the senate, which Yes- terday passed the measure, to message it to the house and the presentation of a concurrent resolution from the upper branch calling for a ten days' recess cre- ated one of the most spirited fights of the special session, charges being made that the delay was “for no other reason than to buy, bribe and cajole members of the house into voting for suffrage.” The charges were made by Representa- tive McNabb, democrat, of Wilmington, who declared that he knew of at least one member of the house who had been approached. Representative Lyons, republican floor leader, challenged McNabb to prove his assertions and asked him to name the an. of Derby, those for the Fifth. instance there was no introdue- name women member he referred to. “While I am not o the name. srm denounced vernor Hol- nominations. |large were next called for and Congress- detegates-at- and expressed encouraging complimentary names for these never hefore to each, offered all It is thought democratic con- vention have four delegates heen named by a single delegate as in this instance.

Calls of “Lets have it” came from the democratic side, but the name was not urged and the incident closed. Mr. Ly- one said he did not believe either the suffragists or anti-suffragists would re- sort to such methods as charged by Me- Nabb.
