WILL NOT VOTE FOR FEW DAYS

Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 9.-—The Tennessee legislature meeting in extraordinary session to act on tlw federal suffrage amendment, today heard Governor Roberts urge prompt ratification and then adjourned until tomorrow without introduction of the ratification resolutions. Neither house was in session more than an hour. Ratification resolutions leaders said tonight, will be offered tomorrow and referred to committees which may conduct hearings. A vote is not regarded as probable in either house before the end of the Week at the earliest. Both advocates and opponents of ratification in statements issued after the initial session expressed confidahce in the outcome of the fight to make Tennessee the thirty-sixth state to ratify and thereby enfranchise the women of the nation in time to permit them to vote in pie November elections. Anti-suffragists । claimed there were enough members opposed to the suffrage to defeat the ratification resolution while Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the national woman suffrage association, declared that if members pledged to Ratification stood by their pledges, suffrage would win.
