REPUBLICAN KEEPS SILENCE! WASHINGTON, March 2.-—Ad- | ministration senators, after consulta- tion with republican leaders, tonight agreed to bring to a vote a motion to table the Gore warning resolution the | moment it is called up tomorrow. A roll call will be ordered on the mo- tion to table, which is not debatable.

The pouse - already had adjourned, the eaders there expecting to await ac- tion in the senate before making an- other move.
