ROOSEVELT AND HUGHES SUPPORTERS JUBILANT

Chicago, June 1.-Poltical supporters of Roosevelt and Hughes were jubilant to- night over the defeat of the attempt made by certain members of the republican na- tional committee to have the contests over delegates heard by subcommittee instead of by the full committee, which always has decided these disputes.
 When Chairman Hilles suggested that subcommttees be named to go over the documents in the contests so that the full committee need not waste time con sidering trivial disputes, the Roosevelt and Hughes supporters feared a possible plot to have the contests considered in secret sessions and they vigorously pro teted. Roosevelt and Hughes forces in the committee led by Senator Reed Smcor, national committeeman from Utah, a Hughes supporter, joined hands to de- feat the plan and claimed an important victory in their first scrimmage with the organization. Chairman Hilles and man. agers of the 'favoritc son. candidates professed to see no significance in the action and insisted that the only purpose of the appointment of subcommttees was to expedite the hearings.
 WHAT OF PROGRESSIVES
 Republican leaders today began to in- quire what action will be taken by the progressive national convention. which meets June '. They are trying to get scme definite information as to whether Colonel Roosevelt really intends to run for President as the candidate of the progressive party in the event another man IS chosen by the republicans.
 Harold l.. Ickes, progressive national committeeman from Illinois. declared that he favored nominating Roosevelt, regard less of any action taken by the repub- lcans. He said Roosevelt was the first and only choice of the progressives for President and that he believed Roosevelt would be nominated. Word was received from numerous progressive state delega- tions that they favored nominating Roose- welt on the first ballot and adjourning the convention without waiting to sec what the republicans may do.

 On April the subcommittee by a strict party vote, recommended confirmation, and on May 24 the full committee agreed to a favorable report by another strict party division.
 COMPROMISE AGREEMENT
 compromise agreement was entered into by those opposed and those favor- ing confirmation by which the vote was taken today without debate but with pub lication of the vote and the reports of the majority and of the minority of the jud, ,ciary committee.
 The minority report declared that II charges against MT. Brandeis had been sustained by the evidence and that in discussion proof had been offered of the bad reputation of MT. Brandeis among the lawyers of the Boston bar The charges referred to were in re- gard to the per cent advance rate case, the Glavis- Ballinger investiga- tion, the. Warren will case the Illinois Central railroad proxy fight, the New England railroad litigation, the Equit- able Life Assurance Society agitation Massachusetts liquor legislation and the United Drug company merger.
 Never before in the history of the country has a man been appointed a justice of the supreme court of the TTnitad Ctaf xrbo tegrity were seriously brought in question: declared the minority. Tt must be evident to any thinking and unbiased mind that this appointment has resulted from something other than the qualifications and fitness of the appointee for the office
 We regard it is a great misfortune and distinct lowering of the stan dard heretofore maintained in making appointments to this high office that one should be selected for the place whose reputation for honesty and in- tegrity amongst his associates at tho bar has been proved to be bad, which reputation has been Justified by his own course of conduct. We cannot con- scientiously give our consent to the confirmation of such an appointment"
 MAJORITY REPORT
 In the, report of the majority MT. Brandeis' action in all the cases re- ferred to by the minority was defend- ed. It was recalled that MT. Brandeis would not be the first able judge ap- pointed to the supreme court who had been the object of bitter and unjust att tack.
 The worst that has been charged against him pales into insignificance," the majority said when compared will what was publicly said about MT. Justice Matthews when his nomina tiea as under considerations; but later
