Washington. d. c.. April 15.-In a
secret caucus this afternoon, the re-
publicans discussed the problem of
dealing with President Wilson's ap-
pointments, but. II any decision was
reached. 1t has not been made public.
For the past several days. Il number of
republicans have been quietly lining
up to oppose the executives nomina-
tions. but not until last night was it
learned that any immediate steps were
planned.
Senator Townsend is leading the
movement to fight President Wilson'S s
nominations, and Senators Root. Bur
ton. Jones. Kenyon, Lippit and Colt
signed the call for the conference.
Indications last night were that diff
ferences of opinion are likely to de-
velop. Senators who signed the call
take the position that President Taft
made these nominations in COOL faith
without regard to political eXigencies,
and maintain that they should have
been confirmed. Senator Townsend is
willing to keep up the battle until the
democrats concede they were mistak-
en- and are willing to confirm the Taft
nominations where no good reason for
withholding approval is sh.wn. Some
senator's predicted the President Will
the Taft nominations were confirmed
where the nominees qualifications
were shown to be sufficient.
Some of the republican leaders.
however. are likely to oppose the plan
to fight the Wilson nominations. They
see little to he gained by II and are
of the opinion that they will have
enough to do in other ways in COM
batting democratic policies.
