REACH PARTING OF WAYS
Washington, Feb. 2. The senate's

today on the counting of the ballots
in the Vare-Wilson senatorial con
test from Pennsylvania.
After conferring with Chairman
Waterman, of the election sub-committee,
Senator Reed of Missouri,
chairman of the campaign funds
committee, wrote to David S. Harry,
the senate sergeant-at-ai ms, direct
ing him not to turn over any of the
Pennsylvania ballots to the elections
committee.
Barry was reminded by Re-d that
the ballots now in his custody and
brought here from Philadelphia and
Alleghcn ycounties were seized un
der the authority of the Robinson
resolution, hich directed that th
campaign funds committee proceed
to take over the ballots.
The Waterman sub-committee de
cided late today to start the count
of the ballots next Monday.
Whether the differences between
the two.comniittees can be amicably
settled or will eventuallyy reach the
floor of the senate is a question the
answer to which lies in the future.
