WASHINGTON. Nov. 19.-Justice Brew
er, of the United States Supreme Court. to-
day denied the application for an appeal
from the decision of Judge Caldwell for the
appointment of a master in chancery TO
supervise the coming election in the Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron Company on the ground
that the appeal had not been taken within
the thirty days allowed by the statutes.
The effect of the decision is to leave the
case where il placed by Judge Cald-
wells order. and presumably the meeting
for the election of directors under the SUI
pervision of Master Seymour D. Thompson
will proceed on the 1eth prox. in accord
ance with Judge Caldwelrs order unless
those opposed to such action find way to
prevent it. Attorneys Beaman and McKen-

their resources, but declined to state what
steps would next be taken.

One day Professor Hinsdale, then
