WARREN To WIN
IN SENATE,
CLAIM
Coolidge, However, Will Have
Test Of Power in Contest
Over Confirmation
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
President Coolidge faced the
first big political test of his new
Administration today when the
Senate began formal consideration
of the nomination of Charles
Beecher Warren. Of Detroit, as
attorney general.
Although a bitter fight against
Warren has been organized by
the Progressive factions of both
parties, Administration leaders
predicted his confirmation. They
declared a poll of the Senate had
shown enough votes from the
ranks of Administration Senators
and conservative Democrats to
insure approval of the Presidents
selection.
Sugar Connections Cited.
Independent Republicans, the in,
surgent bloc and liberal Democrats
however, were combined against the
appointment. The opposition was
led by Senators Borah, R.) OF
Reed 3D. Of Missouri. They based
their objections on Warren's con.
nection with sugar interests and his
activities as the president Of sugar
companies which were cited by the
Federal Trade Commission for al.
legged violation Of the antitrust
laws.
Prosecution of these cases. it was
pointed out, would rest in Warren q
hands II his nomination Is con
firmed.
The opening skirmish revolved
around move to force public con-
sideration of the appointment.
This was opposed by Administra'
ton leaders, and they induced the
Republican caucus to reject a mo-
ton, providing for open sessions OF
the Senate, which was sponsored
by Senator Gooding R.) of Idaho.
.~Gooding urged that the appoint
ment be fought out on the floor of
the Senate in public sessions. He
announced he would renew his mo-
ton before the Senate.
Faces Other Battles.
The Warren appointment was the
first OF a number of controversial
matters awaiting decision in the
Senate's special session.
With the nomination disposed OF,
the administration will face an
other battle in obtaining confirma-
ton by the Senate of the custer
order issued against the La Toilette
Insurgent bloc.
This also will be opposed by the
independent Republicans. including
Senators Borah Rep) 0f Idaho and
Norris Of Nebraska.
The Insurgents though are re-
conciled to their expulsion from the
Republican ranks and are not ex.
pected to make any prolonged Eight.
In order. then, will come TWO
more factional fights in the admin
istration's program for ratification
of the Isle Of Pines and Lausanne
treaties.
There were indications today that
the former would be ratified when
a vote is reached by the Senate
while the later probably will pro-
veke so great a discussion as to
cause postponement Of final de-
cision until next December.

George v Of England and the Queen
Mother of Spain.

cert bureau, 1900 G st. N. W., i'm
