REPUBLICANS LINED UP ATTEMPT MADE . TO AVOID WASHINGTON, Dec 1. (By Associated Press.) Swift stens were " taken by senate republican leaders today to avoid a fight over tne republicanism Of Robert M. La Follette of, Wisconsin and to assure a senate seat to Gerald P. Nye of North Dakota, and avowed La Follette supporter. . Meanwhile, . republican leaders in the house were preparing the way for a return of the insurgents there to the party fold by setting up as a test of "regularity" the votes cast on. organization of the house at -the "opening session next Monday k and a return to the old rules of procedure, amendment of which was forced by the insurg entst two years ago. Conferences among the senate leaders with re spect to La Follette and Nye fol lowed each other today in quick succession after an early morning visit to President Coolidge at the White House by Chairman Watson of the republican committee on committees and Chairman Ernst of the senate privileges and elec tiona committee. At the end of the day it was made known officially that an in vitation will be sent tomorrow to Senator Elect La Follette to attend the republican senate conference to be held Saturday. Mr. Nye said he was "elated" over the turn of events during the day so far as his own case is concerned. The senator-designate from North Da kota participated in some of the conferences but declined to discuss what had transpired. Senator La Follette maintained silence.
