BRANDEIS SEES ASHBRO0K
Mysterious Conference on Post.
Office Department Inquiry.


Washington, May lo--Folowing the re-
puted offer Of Attorney Louis Brandeis to
act az general prosecutor in the investiga-
ton which Democratic House committee
will make of the Postoffice Department,
Mr. Brandes came to Washington to-day
ard held a mysterious conference with
Chairman Ashbrook Of the committee.
Mr. Brandeis took an early afternoon
train TO Boston, and the members of the
committee became very reticent to the
nature of the conferences with the Boston
attorney. Chairman Ashbrook deprecated
the fact this afternoon that Mr.. Brandeis's
offer had become known in some manner
and had been published in the newspapers.
The publicity he said, already had shown
signs OF hampering the committee in its
investigation. Pressed for a reason for this
statement Mr.. Ashbrook said that IT would
prove embarrassing 10 Mr.. Brandeis for one
thing.
When the committee met this morning
the membership was polled TO ascertain
what member was responsible for the leak
NO member Of the committee could explain
how il became known that Mr.. Brandeis
n . roundabout way had offered his free
services TO the investigating committee.
The committee will meet again tomorrow
and will again consider the tender OF the
services of Mr.. Brandes
