FIGHT ON c. H. RUBLEE
WILL Be A HARD ONE
Senator Gallinger Leads Opposition
to Confirmation of Federal Trades
Commissioner.

The nomination of George H. Rublee
of New Hampshire as member of the
federal trade commission is to cause
another hard fight in the Senate, 1t
was said today. Mr.. Rublee. whose
nomination was sent first to the Sen

Senate failed to act, is now serving
under recess appointment
During an executive session of the
Senate yesterday. Senator Gallinger,
the republican leader, demanded a COM
mittee report on the nomination of Mr.
Rublee. Senator Gallinger has been
foremost in opposition to the conflrma
ton of Rublee. declaring that the nomi-
nation was personally obnoxious to him
Mr.. Rublee was nominated year ago
and when Congress adjourned a month
later without confirming him he was
given the recess appointment by Presi-
dent Wilson. The appointment was re-
ferred to a subcommittee of the inter
state commerce committee, of which
Senator Pomerene of Ohio was named
chairman. Senator Pomerene, it was
said today. declared himself unwilling
kansas was made chairman in his stead
1t is said a report from the subcom-
mittee will be made within a few days
Democratic senators suggested today
that the action of the republicans in
renewing opposition to Rublee just now
indicated a purpose of coupling a fight
against him with efforts to block the
confirmation of Louis D. Brandeis' NOM
ination to the Supreme Court.
