weeks that his nomination to the SUI

ably reported to the senate by the
judiciary committee next Wednesday
when it has agreed to vote.
Some democratic senators predicted
that the vote in the committee would
be nine to eight Ior a report recon-
mending confirmation, counting on the
absence of Senator Shields, democrat,
who is in Tennessee. 1t was reported
that the Tennessee senators who all
along has been regarded as opposed
to favorable action would not return
by Wednesday. If he is absent, mo-
ton probably will be made to report
favorably. If he returns, the chances
are that the nomination will be report
ed without recommendation and with
out prejudice. Eight republican sena-
tors on the committee will vote solid
ly against Mr.. Brandeis.
Senator Culberson, chairman of the
made public Monday let
ter from Dr. Chas. w. Eliot, president

ton.
