OF Boston, to fill the vacancy on the
Supreme Court bench, caused by the

Senators generally were unwilling
to-day to express themselves publicly
on the subject. Some said. however,
that they We're opposed to the nomi-
nation. while others approved it.
Champions of Mr.. Brandeis apparent
ly We're confident of confirmation.
Mr.. Brandeis himself declined to make
any comment.
The nomination will not be taken
up formally until Monday when the
Senate judiciary committee, to which
1t has been referred meets. A sub
committee will then be appointed to
consider the nomination and make a
report. II talk of opposition amounts
to anything it will develop in the COM
