Chief Justice White Said to Oppose
Justice Brandeis' Service on

Justice Brandeis will withdraw from

soon to be named by President Wilson
to attempt to settle. with Mexican COM
nissioners. the controversy between the
two countries over the presence Of
United States troops on Mexican soil
and other matters arising between the
two countries.
The exact attitude Of the Chief Jus
tice could not be obtained today be-
cause Of his absence from the city, but
1t is generally reported that he has
serious objections to members OF the
court sitting on commissions appointed
to settle questions having a political
phase.
Now a Political Issue.
1t is pointed out that the Mexican
question is now an issue in this coun-
try. with the republicans freely attack
tration.
The possibility that the work of
the commission might also become u
subject of serious political criticism
Is referred to as a matter that might
have occasioned objection from the
Chief Justice.
The Supreme Court will reassem-
BILE in October with virtually three
new members, and the Chief Justice
is said to feel that the services Of
the new men will be much needed
for the work that is ahead.
Associate Justice Brandeis is reported

That the President may succeed in
bringing the opposing factions to an

response to a question on that point
"I have no comment to make on what
the President may succeed IN accom-

to reject arbitration was due to the at
