would support a motion to return the nomination to the senate without rec OmmendatiOn.
 Report Tomorrow.
 One democratic member of the com mittee, who has been wavering in his attitude toward Brandeis, told a re- publican colleague that the committee would report the nomination without approval or disapproval, probably Wednesday.
 Another majority senator who IS strongly in favor of Brandeis, said he did not favor such a course, but that he might be persuaded to support it rather than hazard the influence which an adverse report might have on the senate.
 Members of the committee spoke their minds frankly and vote might have been taken had it not been for the unavoida ble absence of Senators Cummins and Shields.
 How Committee Splits.
 There are eighteen members of the committee, ten democrats and elght republicans. All of the republicans are opposed to confirmation TWO democrats are said to be strongly against it, and two favor a report without recommendation. These two are urging the compromise TOT Whlch the other democrats may have to vote to prevent adverse acton.
 Such a course would mean a long fight in the senate. Administration leaders predicted that the struggle would end in confirmation ot Brandels, and one republican leader who is op- posed to the nomination, said he ex- pected that this would be the result, anticipating that the president would continue to urge confirWation as he did in his recent letter to the Judl- ciary committee.

FAILED ID INCLUDE
 HIS COPPER STOCK
Bankrupt Did Not Consider Them
 of Any Value

Waterbury, May 16.-Luther M sted, was examined in the bankruptcy court yesterday, relative to his pe- tition for discharge filed with the court several weeks ago. This is the petition which 1ucten F., Barnes of Westfield has been opposed to, and concerning which he has made various trips to Waterbury to pro- test to the referee in bankruptcy, Carleton E. Hoadley. Case bought and sold leaf tobacco for a number of years and in 1906 his creditors forced him into bankruptcy. His schedule of liabilities reached a total of $104,0OO.
 Attorney B. Henry of Hartford, appeared in opposition to the dis charge from bankruptcy, while At torney |. c. Church appeared as counsel for Case. The schedule of liabilities and assets was produced and different items read from it, and explanations being demanded from MT. Case by the attorney for the op- posing side. MT. Case denied that he was in parts unknown" at the time of filing the petition in bankruptcy, stating that as soon as he heard of Of the proceedings he hurried back to Connecticut. He admitted that ke held twenty shares of Shannon Cooperative stock a the time, but that he didn't lise them in his as- sets. They were valuelcss, the witness explained, and he didn't see why it
 
 them in the schedules Asked if he knew where the stocks were now, the witness said he did not, and that he didn't know whether 'Munn" had them or not.
 MT. Case also admitted that he didn't list harm esses in a barn in Rarkhamsted, because they were the ope.ty of his father. He denied that the harnesses in question had been found buried in pile of hay in a Barkhamsted barn, along with the shannon copper stock.
 Attorney Henry endeavored to have the witness explain his business pro- ceedings with the different firms and individuals mentioned in the list of creditors. MT. Case stated that he frequently sold tobacco to different firms, with the understanding that they were to get what they could for it, no matter whether it brought a profit or not. No cash book was kept by him, the petitioner said, his busi- ness affairs being conducted with the bank books he carried. Every time there was a bill of goods purchased he charged it against his account in the bank books. Most of his busi- ness affairs he said were handled by the First National bank of Win sted He carried a small account in a Pennsylvania bank, but none in New York.
 MT. Case stated in reply to the questions, that his business in 1905 exceeded s10O00 for the year, and that the total amount for several years far exceeded that figure.
 The proceedings today had simply to do with the protest filed against the mans discharge. MT. Barnes and other alleged creditors hold that as sets were concealed and that a dis charge should not be granted at this time,

Primaries in Pennsy.

Philadelphia May 16-Primarv elections for all political parties were held throughout Pennsylvania today The voters for the first time are par ticipating in a preferential presiden- tial primary but little interest is being taken in this, as there is but one name entered on each of the party tickets.
 President Wilson's name is the only one on the democratic ballot: Gov ernor Martin G. Brumbaugh is alone on the republican ticket, and Allen L. Benson of Yonkers, N. Y, who has already received the socialist nomin- alton for president by referendum of the socialists of the country, was the only name placed on the ballot of that party for president. It is expected that many of the other candidates for president will receive a large scattering vote by means of stickers or voters writing the candi- dates names on the ballot.
 The greatest interest in the pri- mary centers in the fight within the republican party for control of the delegation to the national conven- ton. United States Senator Boise Penrose and Governor Brumbaugh head the opposing factions. Senator Penrose wants the delegation to go 10 Chicago uninstructed, while the Rrumbaugh faction is supporting del ogates who have promised to support the popular choice of the party in the state for president
 Both elements in the republican party have united in supporting Phil ander c. Knox for the nomination of United States senator to succeed George TT Oliver
