MCCORD, WARNER, HUGHES
Senate May Confirm These Presi-
Dental Appointments Today.
Favorable Action Expected in Ex-
ecutive Sessiou-A riz0na Wants
Her Governor Inaagarated.

1t is the Senate program to 90 into exc
cutive session at reasonably early hour
today for the purpose Of dispoSing Of the
contested n0Inina tons now on the calendar
Chief among them are those of 3. II.
Warner, jr, of this city, to be consul at
Leipsic; Myron II. AIcCord, 10 be governor
of Arizona, and Dr. Hughes To be post
ma ster at Birmingham, Ala. 1T is thought
that H. al ot these CASES the Senate viii
Ia ;e favorable action ana coaurm tile
nominees
While there / 5 an earnest desire on the
part ofm3ny Senators that the Warner case
be got cut OF the way, it is still probable
that Senatorial courtesy may prevail 70
bring aboGt another postponement OF its
consideration II Senator wellington is
really a sick man al his home, and no one
denies that lie is, and he requests the
senate TO hold the case up until he is able
TO return, il probable thatsuch request
would be complied with. There are few
Senators in The chamber apparently sym
pathy with the Maryland Senator IN this
fight, and that Mr.. Warner VIII be con
funcd is admitted on all sides
acted upon Wednesday had not tele
gram beer received by Mr.. Hanna from
Mr.. Wellington asking that action be de-
ferred. Senator GaiIinger, whoi is in charge
OF the case during tie absence OF Mr.. Frye,
received a message from Mr. Wellington
announcing his Illness, but saying nothing
ahoUt the Warner case, and had not hir.
Hanna interfered the nomination would
probably have been acted upon. The Ohio
Senator, however, requested that it 20
over, and Mr. Galiinger complied.
Nj. Wellington has been quoted as saying
that h5 bas carried the fight against
young Warner as FAR as ne cared and
would m6kc no further objection 10 The
consideration OF the nomination II may
happen then that if no further word is
received fiom him the case VIII be taken
up today even though he be absent The
| talk OF the Democrats siding with Mr.
| Wellington in order to stir up trouble
among the Republicans Is denied by Demo
cratic leaders. Mr.. German has expressed
himself being entirely Indifferent to
| what is done. He looks upon the row as a
| family matter among the Republicans and
is willing that they should fight it out
among themselves.
For This reason the great majority Of the
! Ie:llaIat viii vote for the confirmation
Of tie nominee, there being no charges
| hefOIe the Senate other than those E4ade
| by Air. Wellington the other day in III
speech Mr. Wellington appears to be quite
atone in his struggle, and it is predicted that
VIXEN the voteis taken the Senate Will con.
firm Mr.. Warner by very one-sided ma
jority.
Mr. MyIoL II McCord, nominated 70
the goyCrnorship of Arizona, IL is be
| lieyed, VIII be confirmed by a very com
Portable majority. Mr. McCord met ant
refuted all the charges before the com
IHittee and q favorable report was mad
on his case. he has number OF yer.
| warm friends in the Senate, and they vii
see that lie is confirmed today, il pos
sible. The people of the territory ar,
| anxious tnat action should be had wilil
the needs OF the territory demand tn
speedy inauguration of the new governor
IL Is probable that Mr.. McGord viii no
much longer be kept out OF the office t
which he has been appointed
