OPEN SENATE DRIVE TO RATIFY EXPULSION (Continued From Page One) can of North Dakota, were deprived of committee chairships, and along with Senators Brookhart, Republican of Iowa, and Frazier, Republican of No. Dakota, barred from their old seniority rights and Republican privileges. The attitude of Democratic senators pledged to "neutrality" in the fight, defeated all hope that the insurgents might overturn the order by a vote of the Senate. Led by Sen. Robison, of Ark., minority leader, the Democrats were pledged to the administration's slate, which in effect was an endorsement of the expulsion order. The minority, however, made no effort to punish their own recalcitrant, Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, of Mont., who left his party to run with La Follette last November. Opposition to the punishment arose solely from the insurgent victims and a handful of Republicans led by Senators Borah of Idaho and Norris of Nebraska.

Bitter opposition to the appointment has developed among progressive senators of both major parties. On the two test votes, the administration was defeated, but Republican leaders continue to predict the nomination will be confirmed when the final vote is taken.

Stokes obtained in Chicago from a negro named Clark, an affidavit declaring that his young and pretty wife, Helen Elwood Stokes, had been guilty of indiscretion with her chauffeur, a man named Henshaw. Stokes made this admission this afternoon from the witness stand in Judge William N. Gemmill's court, where the 72-year-old millionaire is on trial on a charge of conspiracy to defame Mrs. Stokes.

"This was at Miami, Fla., Nov. 16. So far as I know the story of jewels and a wealthy father are pure bunk, as is nearly every other statement attributed to her.

So far as known no formal complaint stands against the "mystery widow" but police admitted today they were investigating her activities. She formerly attended a conservatory of music here.
