By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON.
The biggest crowd within
memory swarmed over the Capitol
today and into the Senate gal
leries to listen to the closing de-
bate over the Warren nomination.
An hour before the Senate con-
vened, the Senate Hobbies became
so jammed that it was necessary
to call out police reserves to pre-
serve order, and the elevators were
stopped to prevent any more per-
sons from getting near the Sem
ate galleries.
A poll taken of the Senate by
International News Service right
after debate started showed that
Warren would be defeated for the
second time by q decisive margin.
The check-up indicated final
vote of 80 to As, a defeat for the
President by a margin of seven
votes. Republican leaders ad-
mitted the accuracy of the poll.
COTS Maiden Speech.
Senator Goff (Rep.) of West Vir-
ginia, in his maiden speech. opened
the Administration final drive to
confirm Warren. Golf was formerly
Assistant Attorney General.
Warren is eminently fitted for
the office" said Golf.
Golf read a prepared biographical
sketch Of Warren, in which par
ticular emphasis was laid on the
nominees legal training and Qualin-
cations, which had been assailed 30
bitterly by Democrats and Progress.

Goff. For emphasis. Golf fairly
shouted the last three words.
Reads Presidents Letters.
Goff read letters from Presidents
Harding and Coolidge. and former
Secretary of State Hughes laud1ng
Warren's services as Ambassador to
Iarau and Mexico
'There can be no attack upon
the integrity, sterling character or
personal honesty of Warren, said
Goff. HE is attacked only be-
cause in the long ago. Warren, as
young lawyer, happened to be
connected with the so-calied sugar
trust. A lawyer to succeed must
make his clients cause his own. That
does not contaminate him.
Senator Reed DENY Of Mis-
souri, spoke first for the Warren
opposition.
"I agree. that Mr.. Warren was
faithful to his trust" said Reed.
His trust was the sugar trust and
he served it faithfully.
cit takes a vivid imagination to
set I'D a claim that his sugar trust
connection was thirty years ago.
He appeared as lawyer for the sugar
trust in Federal hearings concluded
in 1922, and he can't even plead the
statute of limitations as defense.
Authority Questioned.
The Presidents authority to re-
submit Warren's name was chal-
lenged by Senator King DenD of
Utah, who, inserted in the record
resolution declaring the act uncon-
stitutional. King said he would
not ask for a vote on his resolu-
ton, but wanted it a part of the
record so that the Constitutional
issue could be raised If the Presi-
dent gave Warren a recess ap-

The King resolution would hold
that "resubmission of the nonlina-
ton at the present session or the
Senate is not in the constitutional
prerogatives Of the President and
that the consideration OF the said
re-submitted nomination after final
action has been taken thereon. Is
contrary to the constitution and to
the rules of the Senate as well as
incompatible with the dignity and
nrerogatives of the Senate"
