WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Nearly
half of the members of tn eSenate ju.
dietary committee are said to have
taken positions against the confirma-
ton Of Judge William H. Hunt, now
serving as a member Of the court OF
customs appeals and promoted to a
circuit judgeship, for assignment to
the new commerce court. When the
case was called up in the committee

on the new court were ordered report
ed favorably.
The judges acted upon are Robert
w. Archibald, of Pennsylvania; John
e. Garland, of South Dakota, and Ju-
liam w. Mack, Of Illinois. Judge Mar
tin A. Knapp, formerly chairman Of
the Interstate commerce commission,
was confirmed before the holiday re-
ces for presiding Judge. Inasmuch as
there were four members Of the court |
against whom there was no contests
It Is expected that these will organ

today are confirmed.
Soon after the appointment of
Judge Hunt was sent to the Senate,
charges were filed against him by |
Montana land owners, who alleged

riot bench there he had aided smelt-
ng interests by delaying court pro

Judge Hunts integrity by seeking to
