The House will convene at 11 o'clock today, when the Speaker and his forces will exert every effort to sidetrack the loan order for a plan which would have the come from the $13,000,000 bond issue already enacted. Showdown Today There are comparatively few matters remaining for consideration end it is agreed that the only obstacle is the new bond issue bilL Pres Moran of the Senate has gone so far as to discuss the hour of final adjournment, raying that he is opposed to night proceedings on the day of prorogation, but will hold the Senate in session until 7 o'clock if the work can be completed by that hour. On the other hand it is known that Gov Curley is prepared to hold the Legislature for an indefinite period if the $4,000,000 bill, which is understood to be acceptable to him, is defeated. But in face of this Speaker Saltonstall unhesitatingly expresses hope that the bill will be killed.
