Washington, July 25.-The first de
feat President Wilson has received at
the hands Of congress became COM
plete when he yielded and announced
he would withdraw the nomination OF
Thomas D. Jones Of Chicago for the
federal reserve board.
Mr.. Jones was the presidents per.
sonal choice" for the board. The presi'
dent SO, announced several weeks ago
in a letter to Senator Owen, chairman
of the banking and currency commit.
tee. This letter was the, signal for re-
neWed efforts on the part Of the sena;
tors opposing Jones. Their triumph
was signalized by the Presidents an.
nouncement.
The friends Of the administration
made every effort to swing enough
votes to confirm Jones. TheySwere at
least FIVE short. The attacks on#the
president, on Jones and on the Demo.
Gratis finally became so bitter that the
Democratic leaders went to the White
House and ,frantically urged the presi-
dent to give in.
The climax came when a group OF
senators who have been regarded as
friendly to the administration in the
fight sent word to the president that II
he forced them to vote they could not
and would not support him ! and
his candidate. Among these senators
were Clarke Of Arkansas, Johnson Of
Maine andgShively Of Indiana. There
were eight or nine others in the group,
sufficient to convince even the presi,
dent that5the outlook was hopeless.
The president did not take his defeat
gracefully. There Is an underlying
note OF bitterness In his letter to Mr..
Jones, acc,ed1ng to his request that his
name be withdrawn, and with q certain
amount OF sarcasm he refers to Sen.
