Mannington, who left Washington some time ago, is supposed to be in Paris or on the Riviera. “I demand that Secretary Hughes forthwith send to the committee | the original application of Howard | Mannington for a passport,” said Ashurst.

A tonjority of the members of t committee indicated strongly that they would vote to conipel Sinclair to submit to examination. Litteton presented a lengthy. legal argument to the committees that it did not have the power under the constitution to compel his client ae testify. The committee, as a whole, did not scem impressed by Littleton’s argu ment, but upon the request of Sena- tors Spencer and Bursum, republi- | cans, let the matter go over until to- morrow.

Senators Walsh, Dill, Kendrick and Chairman Ladd pronounced them- selves unqualifiedly in favor of forc- ing Sinclair to submit to examina- tion. Littleton did not seek to keep Sin- clair from the stand on the ground that evidence that he might give would tend to tncriminate him, but asked that the committee “should ne force my. client under the odium that such a plea involved.
