JUDGES ARE HELD UP
HUNDLEY's CASE WILL NOW GO TO
 TAFT.
Senate Judiciary NCommittee Resolves to Take No Further Action on Nominations Now
 Pending.

Washington, Feb. 22.-(Special J.
 There Is not the slightest doubt that the Senate Judiciary Committee con- tains a pronounced majority against on pending nominations.
 Other names of Federal judges were also held up with Hundley's and he ought. therefore, not to feel lonesome The Senate Judiciary Committee today cooked the goose" of Oscar H. Hund- ley so far as this session is concerned by deciding to take no further action Hundley. It Is even worse in the Sen ate and if his nomination could have again been brought out of the con- mittee under no circumstances would he have been confirmed.
 The case will now go to President Taft for the next move. It is pretty we'll understood here that Judge Taft Is in this long and bitter struggle con- versant with the facts, and between now and the time he has to act he will be furnished with much additional in- formation. The prevailing impression among well informed people here is that President Taft will certainly se- lect another man to be Judge of the Northern District.
 The record of the last hearings be- fore the sub committee appears to have dealt the final blow to Hundleys chances.
 Among the Judgships that have fall ed are Milton D. Purdy, for the Dis trict of Minnesota; John E. Staer, Southern District of ohio; oscar R. Hundley. Northern district of Alaba- mia: Royal A. Gunnison district of Alaska and Herbert F, Sea well, Eastern district Of North Caroli- na.
