Massachusetts Man Says He Will Not-Let Democrats
 Get Good Positions

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2I.- Dipping their brushes into\ the probability that the Republican majority in the senate would refuse ro confirm most of the z0.O00 nominations made by President Wilson. some administra- tion officials painted today a picture of a creaking government machine flounderine along for d time after March I. with lot of important cogs missing.
 Failure of the Republican senators at a secret conference today to reach any decision as to the nominations set the canvas. Republican leaders weren't inclined to take the picture however
 The question of the nominations oc- cupied much of the time of the Re publican conference. The official announcement said no decision was reached. but sOms of those attending the meeting said privately that there had been "tacit" agreement for the Republican members of committees to take the nominations coming un- der their Jurisdiction. study cOndi- tiOns in the executive departments. and then determine whether failure to keep the Democratic appOinteeS in office after March 1. would result in any embarrassment of those depart mentS
 A young regiment of officials now in Washington are holding office by virtue of recess appointments. Should the senate fail to act on their nomina tionS before this congress quits on March 3. E is explained they will au- tomatically be>out of jobs under the law These officials include all sev- en members of the shipping board. two members of the Interstate Con;- merce Commission. three chief off cials in the patent office and five as Sistant secretaries of the treasury.
 Then. too. there are lot of post masters, federal judges. marshalS, federal attorneys. registers of land offices and the like over the country who are in the same position. Some of these are ClaSSed as emergency cases and the Republican leaders haS@ indicated tgNt where there is found to be an emergency. action will be taken
 Confirmation of President Wilson 'S appointments by the senate would carry some of these officials over in to the Republican administration for terms ranging from one year to years in excess of the four for which Hard ing has been elected. Senator Lodge. of Massachusetts. Republican leader, has announced that he doesn't pro pose to have the Democratic admin istration fill up a lot of bureau chief ships in the army and navy for the incoming administration and in this he has support of his Republican col leagues.
