WASHINGTON, Feb, 10. At -i p.'
m. this afternoon the senate had
leen In continuous session -2 hours
tho longest session on record nnd
there wns no break in tho fight over
tho administration ship bill.
The first break in the administra
tion forces canto when Senator, Nor
rls, progressiva republican, who has
been p voting with the administration
democrats, declared hoaw little use
of delaying other legislation as the re
publicans had tlemonslratea they
held votes enough to filibuster the
ship bill to death. Without his vote
the democrats could not pass tho bill
unless they got other support.
Kxtm Session Likely
Various (dans for action, such as
passing n shipping bill In tho house,
were discussed with the leaders by
President Wilson and whlto It was
generally expected the president
would call an extra session on March
. if tho bill falls, all efforts wero con
centrated on pushing the measure
through now.
Those who conferred with the
president heard htm reiterate his de
termination to call a special session if
necessary, but he had not given up
hope that tho bill could ba passed
without It.
Senator Townsend, republican, thin
morning relieved Senator Sherman,
who had ben talking" sfnee 1 n. in.,
opening the day's assault on the ship
ping hill from the republican side.
Ilrenk Cmler Strain
Many senators had begun to break
under the Strain of the fight. Sena
tor Penrose was compelled last night
to go to his hotel under the euro of
a physician. Others were forced to
retire to their homes, but plans of
senate leaders wero made to rush
them back on short notice should
their votes bo needed.
When Senator Townsend concluded
Senator Gnlllngcr moved to lay aslda
the ship bill and take up tho water
power bill. That proposal, however,
was tabled, 49 to 30. Senators Hank
head, Hardwlck and Vardaman of tho
domocratic Insurgents, joined the
democratic side on tho vote. Sena
tor La Follote, republican, votod with
tho republicans to tako up tho water
bill. Tho losa of Senator Nqrrls'
vote showed a threatened break '"

Senator Hardwlck said overtures worn
