Despite the ten-day recess of the
ments in the oil scandal whirled
along today at their customary
hreakneck speed.
Coincident with the resignation
of Secretary DENLY there were pre-
dictionsl among senators. that inn
portant disclosures of a new and
and sensational character were i'm
| minent.
These predictions revolved for the
most part about the inquiry that
committee experts are making into
the books of various brokerage
firms, in search of evidence of oil
stock speculation by government Of
ficials.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Mon
tana, who has taken a hand in the
inquiry in the absence from WASH
ington of his colleague, Senator
Walsh, declared that Harry Payne
Whitney and mem mbers of the Benlx-
ard broker firm In New York un-
doubtedly would be summoned be-
fore the committee as result of in
formation that has reached the capi-
tai.
Mr.. Wheeler also asserted that
given senators by Wilton J. Lambert,
attorney for Edward B. Mclean,
publisher of the Washington Post.
Mn. Mclean came to Washington
from Palm Beach in response to a
summons from the committee.
In the midst of a new tempest of
rumors revolving about these and
other subjects, the senate resumed
its debate on the nomination of
lOwen j. Roberts of Philadelphia to
be special counsel in the oil suits.
The prospect was that he would be
confirmed before the end of the day.
and that action then would be sought
on Senator Wheeler's resolution for
an investigation of the administra-
ton of Attorney General Daugherty.
There were reports that those
members of the oil committee who
are in Washington might confer dur
ing the day behind closed doors, with
regard to the latest developments.
Chairman Lenroot. however. said
no meeting has been called, and that
there had been no change in the plan
to delay further hearings until next
Monday.
Despite opposition to Mr.. Roberts.
headed by Senator LaFollette, of
Wisconsin, the Republican insur-
gents chieftain Republican organi
cation leaders were confident his
nomination would be confirmed by
about the same majority as was
given Saturday to Atlee Pomerene.
of Canton. Ohio. the other lawy'
selected for the oil cases by the
President. Senator Walsh Demo-
crat, Montana, leader in the in
quiry. who opposed confirmation of
Mr.. Pomerene's nomination and has
expressed disapproval of Mr.. Rob-
erts' qualifications for the work was
absent today, having left the city
for an unannounced destination.
With the investigating committee
in recess, the capitol today had its
first relative rest in weeks from the
whirl of sensations that began with
the testimony of Archie Roosevelt
dealing with relations between Harry
+. Sinclair and Albert B. Fall. The
committee, in taking it's recess. de-
cided to hold no further sessions un-
til next Monday, and chairman Len
root declared no witnesses would be
sL3r enaed in the meantime.

DeIay Is Condcmned

TRENTON, Feb. IS (By The Asso-
ciated Press) )-Senator Arthur Whit
ney, of Morris county. who was
chairman of the platform committee
of the State Republican convention
today, issued statement declaring
himself greatly perturbed over
needless delay in fulfilling platform
pledges which, the statement as
serted. was occasioned by the two
weeks sojourn in Palm Beach of
Senator Emerson L. Richards, of At
1antic county. who is chairman of
the senate committee on education
and who. the statement said, would
not return until after February 20.
1t was to this committee that two
educational bills were referred after
having been passed in the assembly.
One of these provides that the State
Board of Education instead of the
governor should appoint the COM
missioner of education and the other
would authorize the taking of a
school census at least bi-annually.
Declaring that these measures
were included in the Republican
platform, Senator Whitney's state
ment added they should be got out
of the way immediately so that the
legislature might turn its attention
to other matters which should be
considered before adjustment, such
as the final abandonment of the Nor
ris canal, the future state highway
policy, the institutional construction
program and taxation.
The unofficial senatorial inquiry
into alleged election practices in
Hudson county which was to have
been conducted early today was post
poned until 2. M.
