NORTH CAROLINA MAY RATIFY AMENDMENT

Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 9.—While the North Carolina legislature will meet in special session tomorrow to consider taxation reforms and the federal suffrage amendment, it appeared tonight that the latter subject would not come before the body until late in the week. At the governor’s office today it was said he would suomit the federal suffrage amendment probably Thursday together with a special message advocating ratification. Preliminary polls of, the legislators are said to indicate a close fight on the question of ratification wth the odds in favor of the suffragists in the senate and slightly against them in the house.
