G. O,P, LEADERS HOLD
TO HOPE SMITH WILL
DECLINE SENATE SEAT

washington. Dec. 16.-tR)-Pin-
ming their last hope on the possible
ity that Senator-elect Frank L.
Smith, of Illinois, will not accept APP
pointment from Governor Small to
serve out the unexpired term Of the
late Senator Mckinley, senate lead
ers settled down tonight in nerv-
GUS attitude Of watchful waiting.
News of the appointment caused
a great furry In senate circles and
the hope was openly expressed by
leaders OF all factions that Smith
would refuse the tender.
AS soon as the appointment be-
came known Chairman Reed called
his special campaign expenditures
investigating committee in session to
pass on the report Of the evidence
bearing on the Smith case as gath
cred by the committee during the
summer. The report later was pre-
scented to the senate but without
conclusions or recommendations
which Senator Reed explained would
be submitted later.
1.-THE present document is deliv-
cred to the senate chiefly because q
number of senators have requested
early information touching on the
Illinois situation" he declared.
''As soon as the senate met, SEN
ator Ashurst, Democrat, of Arizona,
opened the attack on Smith by Of
fering q resolution to prevent his
taking the qualifying oath and to
turn the whole case over to the
Reed committee for recommends
lions. The resolution went over for
a day on motion of Senator Curtis,
the Republican leader, after Sena-
tor Watson, Republican. of Indiana,
questioned the fairness Of the reso-
luton until Smith had accepted the
appointment.
Senator Ashurst said he would
call up the resolution tomorrow as
he wished Smith to know the feel
Ing of the senate" before he accept
ed.
Both Republican and Democratic
senators plainly were resentful over
the appointment and some Of those
favoring his seating in the 10th con-
gress are ready to vote against him
in the present short session for fear
of letting loose a flood of debate
over campaign expenditures and
threatening a special session.
A report was circulated that be-
fore Mr.. Smith took any action he
would come to Washington to con-
suit with senators.
IF he does that he will never take
the appointment" declared Senator
Moses, Republican, Of New Hamp-
shire.
II am very much disappointed.
said Chairman Ernst, of the senate
elections committee.
HE will never be seated" COM
mented Senator Harrison, Democrat,
of Mississippi.
II will not break my back to seat
him." declared Senator Reed, Re-
publican, of Pennsylvania.
Senator Helm, Democrat, of Ala
bama, went further than any by Of
fering a prayer for the nation be
cause Smith was appointed and Fall
and Doheny were acquitted"
With the explanation that the fig
ures did not represent "the possible
total expenditures on behalf of Frank
L. Smiths candidacy" the special
committees report showed total pri-
mary campaign expenditures of
