WASHINGTON. D. C.. November r.
y new plot against President Roose-
Welt has been discovered. and those
alleged to be in conspiracy With the
antiadminstration forces are Justice
Brewer. of the United States Supreme
Court; ex-senator John c. Spooner, of
Wisconsin. and the Rev. Dr. Charles II.
Farkhurst, of New York.
Justice Brewers attack on the Presi-
dent has aroused much resentment In
administration circles, and his reitera-
ton last night that he meant just what
he said when he declared that Mr..
Roosevelt Is playing hide and seek with
the nomination has only served TO ag-
gravate the situation.
1t Is known that sonic members Of
the Cabi, ct feel bitter against Justice
Brewer for his attack, and there were
allusions to the matter at to-day's
Cabinet meeting that would look in
[terestins In print. Details OF what
passed are lacking, however

What makes the situation particular
ly unpleasant from the administration
point of view is that there seems 10 be
no way OF answering Supreme Court
Justice. There is a widespread feeling
among the Presidents friends that the

One of the reasons for Justice Brew

dent fs doing what he can to make
over the Supreme Court of the United

some of the members of the highest
tribunal OF the Federal judicial sys-
tenn resent this. and that If an x-ray
scrutiny of Justice Brewers motives
were possible it would be found that

disputed here by any one familiar with
the facts that the President would like
to see the Supreme Court made up of
men who, in general wax. are In line
