"hoping" would be correct as it is a present participle modifying the preceeding phrase.

mmm
It is difficult (at least for me :) )

The thing is that "hoping" in (2) is next to session, but the session doesn't hope anything. The speaker does.

I would prefer;

Speaker, hoping that fewer proposals will be discussed, called for a session.

In the end, i really don't know which is best (or less bad!).

Neither choice says "in hopes with". Please check your original posting against the source, and please tell us the source

This is a level-5 SC question in Barron's CAT
It is "in hopes that" and not "in hopes with".
