HarIan's Defeat PrOphesied.
[Chicago Times.1

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27;-Harian will have to try
again II he wants TO ST on the Supreme Court
bench. Those who have opposed his confirma-
ton are now confident Of his defeat. They say
that Senator Edmunds has said that he would
not report, Harians name during this extra
session Of the Senate. In proof Of this they
show the fact that Edmunds has gone to Vir-
ginia for weeks visit. under plea of needing
of Texas. Nothing but a pressing desire upon
the part Of Ed munds to avoid any possibility
Of being asked why Harlan's name Is
delayed could have inspired the departure
of the former from the city last evening A
member Of the Judiciary Committee says that
the whole matter Of opposition to Harlan kas
narrowed to his connection with Hayes Lodisi-
ana commission and prominent advocacy Of
the new Southern policy. As no report is to be
made In Harlan's case. his nomination will fail
with the adjournment of the extra session.
There is no reason to suppose that the Judicial
ry Committee will be discharged from the
consideration Of this case before the adjourn
ment. To discharge a committee Is grave
matter. that requires always some extraOrdi-
nary political pressure TO force. This pressure
can hardly be brought in favor Of any of the
nominations TO which Republican objection has
been made. 1t fs possible that the objection
able nominations will be allowed to fall with
the extra session.
