EFFORT TO REVERSE
VOTE ON GEN. SMITH
Senate Supporters of Excise Board
Member Inaugurate Movement
to Reconsider,

An effort to get a reconsideration Of
the vote by which Gen. Robert q.
Smiths nomination excise commits
sioner of the District was rejected by
the Senate was made during an execu-
tive session late yesterday afternoon,
but no definite action was taken on the
matter, and it went over until the next
executive session.
The first step made by the friends of
Gen. Smith was to have the vote of
Senator Pittman of Nevada recorded.
He told the Senate that he was present
and voted AYE" though through some
error the roll call did not show him as
voting. BY unanimous consent he was
allowed to be recorded, which made the
vote 2s to "a against Gen. Smith.
Claim Case Is Reopened.
When the result OF the vote was then
reannounced by the Vice President
yesterday afternoon. the supporters Of
Gen. Smith took the position that the
whole mater was reopened, and Senator
Hughes of New Jersey asked permis-
sion to change his vote from AYE" to
no" His purpose in making this re-
quest was TO enable him as one of the
majority voting no" to then move a
reconsid Grafton of the whole vote re-
Jecting Smith.
But Immediately the opponents of
Smith were up In arms. declaring that
such a step would be an abuse of the
rules The Vice President refused to
rule on the matter and submitted II
10 the Senate. Finally. after consider
able discussion. at the suggestion of
one of the democratic leaders the mat
ter was allowed to go over.
Say Sentiment Is Adverse
The friends of Gen. Smith admitted to-
day that the sentiment in the Senate
seemed against permitting Senator
Hughes TO change his vote Unless some
thing is accomplished at the next execu-
tive session. tho action OF the Senate re-
jecting Gen Smith will be final. under
the rules q reconsideration must be made
within two executive sessions after the
vote Is taken
