MAKES FILIBUSTER THREAT

Republican Senators Hold Up Resolution to Investigate Election of Newberry of Michigan. Washington, Feb. 7.—The Tomerene resolution calling for nn investigation of the election of Truman H. Newberry to the senate from Michigan, was blocked by Republican senators. They gave notice to the Democratic side they will start a filibuster if necessary and hold up all the big supply bills to prevent the resolution from coming to a vote. It is not probable that any action at all in the matter can be taken by the present senate In view of the threatened filibuster. If any investigation is made It w-111 be done by the next senate in which the Republicans will be in the majority.
