 WASHINGTON, June Louis D. Brandeis, nominated to the supreme court and bitterly fought by repub- licans for five months, was confirmed late today by the senate. The vote was 47 to 22. Three republicans who voted for Brandeis were Senators La Toilette. Norris and Poindexter. Sen ator NeWlands was the only demo- crat who voted against him. Senators Clapp and Gronna, republicans, were paired in favor of confirmation.
 The negative vote of Senator New lands was a complete surprise to the senate, and the Nevada senator, real izing that his action had aroused comment, later made public a formal explanation.
 "I have a high admiration for MT. Brandeis as a publicist and propa- gandist of distinction,' said Senator ] Newlands q do not regard him as a ! man of judicial temperament. and for ] that reason I have voted against his 1 confirmation
 Throughout the fight President Wilson stood firmly behind his nomi- nee, never wavering when it seemed certain that an unfavorable report would be returned by the senate judiciary committee. Refcre the com mittee voted, he wrote letter to Chairman Culbertson strongly urging prompt and favorable action.
