Boston Man is Sure to

International News Service:


WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.-Ohicial
Washington was recov ering today
from ite surprise over the nomina-
ton by Pres't Wilson of Louis d.
Brandeis Of Boston. TO be a justice
OF the supreme court of the United
States. Brandeis himself refused
positively to discuss his appointment
or the report that his confirmation
will be fought in the senate.
Friends of the president insisted
that a canvass of the senate has
shown that there are more than
enough votes pledged to Brandcis
10 confirm his nomination and they
declared that the president and his
candidate viii welcome any IN
yestigation Of Brandeis' qualihoa-
tons by the serate judiciary COM
niittee.
Opponents of Brandeis insisted
that his confirmation viii be oppos-
ed on the following grounds:
First, because ne is recognized as
q radical reformer with strongly
partisan views on important federal
questions.
Second. his appointment will
weaken the supreme court because
he will be unable 10 SIT in judg-
ment on some Of The most import

count Of having served as counsel
for the government in these cases.
Third, he has antagonized the
railroad interests OF the country be-
cause Of his activity in seeking re-
auctions in railroad rates
Fourth. ne has antagonized the
shipping interests of the country by
advocating that the railroads be
authorized Ia impose additional
charges for free services. such as.
loading. unloading. ferrying. light
ering, etc. that they have for years
performed. This was Mr.. Brandeis'
