That action be deferred until Wednesday

by vote of 10 to z, as follows: Ayes, Sena-

motion 10 dissolve the executive session
was adopted by a similar vote
In explanation of Senator Harris manner
OF voting, II is said that he considered as
premature the attempt to obtain conirma-
tion yesterday. 1t is believed that on Janu-
airy 18th he will vote for confirmation.
The postponement until that date delays
the consideration of the appointments until
the day following Governor-eiect Hunn's
inauguration, by which time he will proba-
bly, have appointed his secretary of State.
DR.. Caleb X. Layton will doubtless be APP
pointed to that position, and yesterdays
action may result in deal for either his
confirmation or non-conhrmatIon. Lieu
-Governor-elect Cannon will be the
President of the Senate at that time; and
in the event of a deadlock on DR.. Layton s
confirmation, will be in position to break
thu tie.
Democratic politicians announced early
yesterday afternoon that the appointment
Of Edwin r. Cochran, Jr., as judge of the
Municipal Court of Wilmington would be
ontirmed before night, and that two Re-
publican Senators and the eight Demo-
cratic Senators, including Farlow, would
vote for his confirmation. The result of
The executive session, however, did not verify
their predictions.
