DEFEAT BOOKED IN DELEWARE HOUSES FOR SUFFRAGE

Dover, March 28.—With the possibilities of the defeat of the ratification of the suffrage amendment looming large, preparations were made today by the Delaware legislature to have the ratification measure presented to both houses tomorrow morning. Arguments for and against suffrage will be heard Thursday and leaders of the anti-suffragists are working hard to have the measure acted upon by Friday afternoon. Sentiment against suffrage was crystallized today and all party lines dropped when republican and democratic legislators refused to be bound by caucuses on the suffrage question.*
