COOLIDGE ADVISED
NOT TO RESUBM|T
NAME OF WARREN
Party Leaders Assure Presi-
dent Confirmation Would
Remain Impossible.
FULL STRENGTH SHOWN
IN VOTE OF YESTERDAY
a. P. Rugg, Gov, Grosbeck and Nc
Camant of Oregon Likely
as Nominees.

President Coolidge was advised to-
day by Republican leaders in the
Senate not to re -ubmit the nomina-
tion of Charles i. Warren of Michi-
gan to be Attorney General, because
st could not be confirmed, and if he
were appointed under recess ap-
pofntment he cou,d not draw pay.
The leaders who visited the White
House early In the day said the Chief
Executive had given them no indica-
tion as to what his course would be,
but some of therl are of the opinion
that he might make another selec-
tion.
Full NOLe Counted.
Mr.. Coolidge was informed that the
f.n support for Mr. Warren had been
counted in the vote yesterday, when
the nomination vas rejected, 40 to 40,
the absent Repub blican Senator'S IA
vorable to confirmation being paired
with Senators in opposition.
Indications that a new name might
be sent to the Senate revived discussion
among Senators as to the possibility or
confirming such a selection, should it be
made from among the list Of men who
We're under consideration when Mr..
Arthur p. Rugg, chief justice Of the
Massachusetts, Supreme Court; Gov.
Groesbeck of Michigan and others.
A new name which appeared today
in speculation over the vacant post was
that of Judge Wallace McCamant Of
Portland, Greg, whose Sc ection is said
to have been urged vigorously upon the
White House. 1t was Judge McCamant
who upset the plans of Republican party
leaders at the Chicago convention in
1920 by placing the name of Calvin
Coolidge in nomination for Vice Presi-
dent and stampeding the convention to
him.
Chairman Cumnins of the judiciary
committee, who had charge of the NOM
ination in the Sc nate. was the first to
present his views to the President to-
Gay. Later Senators Watson OF indiana,
Moses of New Hampshire, Reed of
Pennsylvania and Wadsworth of New
York discussed the situation.
Dramatic Scene in Senate. +.
The Senate's rejection of the nomi-
nstion of Warren was colored by the
dramatic efforts Ct Republicans to over
turn tie vote on confirmation, has
left the question of filling that office
enveloped in uncertainty.
Coming with almost startling sud
denness late in the day, the vote on
confirmation apparently caught the
administration forces, who, even dur
ing the roll call, seemed confident
of the result, of guard. While DEM
ocratic opponents of the nomination
sought to clinch their victory by de-
manding that the roll call be closed
and announced and administration
leaders strove to delay it, taxicab
dash by Vice P resident Dawes from
his hotel to the Capitol in an effort
TO arrive in time to break the tie was
awaited as the impending climax.
Reed Switches Vote.
He was too late for that, the roll
call having been announced, but in
the meantime Republican leaders re-
sorted to further strategy, when
Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, switch
ed his vote to the opposition column,
making the result, technically. 80 to
Al so that he might move reconsidera-
tion of the question.
On an immediate counter motion
of opponents of confirmation to lay
the Reed motion on the table, the
Senate had concluded another tie vote,
40 to 30, just as the Vice President,
who could have cast the deciding
ballot, entered the chamber When at
this juncture. however, Senator Over
man of North Carolina, the only
Democrat who had voted for con-
firmation, switched his vote, the mo-
tion to reconsider was tabled and the
fight was ended.
Nine Republicans Against.
Excepting Senator Reed of Penn
sylvania, whose vote was cast for
strategic reasons, nine Republicans,
the one Farmer Labor Senator, Ship
stead, and all o the Democrats pres
ent except Senator -Overman, voted
against confirmation.
The Republicans were Borah of
Idaho, Brookhart of Iowa, Couzens of
Michigan, Frazier and Ladd of North
Dakota, johnson of California, Nc
Master and Norbeck of South Dakota
and Norris of Nebraska.

Vote Comes Suddenly.
The vote on the nomination came
with almost startling suddenness
after six hours of debate in which
Mr.. Warren he d been alternately de-
Tended and assailed because of his
former connections with sugar in
terests.
More speeches were expected, and !
after presiding most of the day, Vice
President Dawes retired to his hotel,
a mile away, FOR a. rest, having re-
eeived, his friends said, assurances
from leaders on both sides that there
