After receiving this word, the
majority leaders made an lnfori

votes against overriding a veto
two more than the number
necessary to" prevent llnai enact

This margin -was understood,
however, to be regarded by some
friends of the President as too
narrow and they expected Mr.
Harding to call 8y,ejl senators
to the White House betpre Tuesday
for a discussion of the situation.
With many senators absent from
Washington, it was asserted by
some that it was difficult to assess
senate sentiment at this time.
Many of the absentees, It was

to Washington In time- to vote.
Five senators are In Europe, while
four others are in the far ,west.
