HAWLEY SATISFIED WITH THE OUTLOOK
Sees Nothing to It But the Reelection of Senator
 F. B. Brandegee.
Contingency Which Can Arise by Which Vote In Home County Will Be Boosted.

Sheriff Hawley was at his office 1T this city today having returned from
 Hartford last evening after busy
 week. The sheriff appeared to be con-
 tented with the world and said he was
 we'll satisfied with the Senatorial sit
 uation. There is not the slightest
 doubt in his mind Of the result and he is serenely confident that Brande- gee will be chosen to succeed himself by a substantial majority of the votes cast ' ..-:
 The sheriff believes that the ballot will be a secret one, although the question is still open. His judgment is based upon what he heard about the capital in his chats with leaders who are arrayed on either side Of the battle When Bulkeley was elected over Fessenden it was an open ballot, each man stating his choice upon the call of his name.
 Brandegee when chosen to succeed the late Senator Platt for the unex- pired term of the latter, was selected by secret ballot. This means Of VOt- ing seems to find favor with most of the men who have the votes to cast next Tuesday when the decision will be made as to whether it shall be Hill or Brandegee.
 It seems to be accepted that neither side will waste any time by nominat- ing speeches. If the caucus meets promptly at the hour designated, 2 o'clock, and gets down to business the result will be known within an hour, for it is conceded that the first ballot will tell the story.
 Concerning the vote of Fairfield county there is much speculation of an interesting character. There can be no question but that Hill has picked up strength in his own county with in the past week. Before that time the Brandegee men in this county were sure of more votes than they care to boast of to-day. It is said that there has been a weakening Of the forces of the New London man down Greenwich way. Judge "Jim" Walsh is said to have been flirting with each side. While Chairman Ken ealy and Sheriff Hawley pin their faith in Walsh it is said that the Hill manager, J. Henry Roraback, Charles F. Brooker and even Fyler himself have had several very confiden- tial moments with the judge within the past few days.
 There is scarcely any question but that Judge Walsh would deliver to Hill five or six votes that he is said to- exercise a secure guardianship over if it were not shown him that with Hill in the Senate he could have the for Congress in Hills place. But who can promise him that? county wants the place if it becomes vacant and has a candidate for it in the person of Don Warner. Besides there would be considerable opposition to Walsh from Republicans in his own county.

Tawney Resolution Passes in the House = Senate Breaks with the President on Nominations
Special from United Press. j.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Another irn- portant step has been taken in the conflict between the President and congress. The Senate has served mo- tice that it will decline to confirm nominations of persons to positions of great trust and of great public inter- est without first conducting an inves- tlgatlon of its own. Senator Depew who had lengthy conference with the President today. made the announce ment afterwards. That Senators may be relieved of coming into direct con fl1ct With the Executive over nomina- tions made in their State without their endorsement it is stated that the Son. ate will, if it sees fit, conduct Cts in- qu1ries even in the face of local Sena- tor1al endorsement.
 Senator Depew cited the cases of George s. Terry, nominated for limited States assistant treasurer in New York, and Public Printer Donnelly as coming within this category. He said that no charges had been made against these men but that their confirmation had been held up to permit interested Sen- ators to satisfy themselves of the pro- priety of the nominations

TRAILING
 THE MISSING CLERGYMAN
Searcn for Man Suspected of Murder at Battle Run Continues.
Especial from United Press i

Special from United Press) Port Huron. Mich.. Jan. 9.-The trail of the Rev. John c. Carmichael which the police are following in their efforts to unravel the Battle Creek stove mur- der mystery leads to-day in two direc- tions-one towards his old home in Grant, Neb., the other to the waters of the St. Clair river.
 Rev. c. W. Baldwin, friend of the hunted man advanced the theory that Carmichael had drowned himself in the river. The belief would agree with the story that a man answering the clergy mans description was seen near the river the morning after the murder. The theory is also supported by the knowledge of CarmiChaels morbid con- dition.
 The report that he is travelling to- ward Grant. Neb., arose from the dis covery that 8. man resembling the clergyman bought a ticket in Detroit for Chicago last Thursday. On the strength of this discovery the sheriff has wired the Chicago police to keep close watch.
