OPPOSITION TO
NAMING HUGHES
STILL GROWING
Doubt of Confirmation
Expressed by Leaders
Among Independents

WASHINGTON. Feb. IS. U.H) -
The opposition to Charles Evans
Hughes, nomination rs chief Justice,
continued TO gather strength in the
senate today in such Il fashion that
or the first time since debate be
gan three days ago there was some
doubt that he could ultimately be
confirmed.
While the opposition has not yet
;ttaincd a majority and Republican
Floor Leader Watson again expressed
confidence that he could keep his
votes, the United Press learned that
Senator Thomas j. Walsh, Demo-
Crat, Montana, one of the outstand-.
ing constitutional lawyers of the
senate, has decided to join the OPP
position. Walsh voted for Hughes i'll
committee.
Walsh said privately that Hughes
once had changed his mind about
IN important proposition and that
he thought he, too, would do so.
Because of his legal standing,
Walsh was expected by those op-
position leaders to carry several
votes with him. If he does, the
strength of the opposition will be
suGh as to put the outcome of the
contest in doubt.
This development came while the
LOBBY Investigating committee was
asc.rtaining that Hughes wrote the
contract which the American Cyani-
hid company proposed to the gov
eminent for Muscle Shoals. While
there was 10 allegation that Hughes
action was improper, there has been
Il strong sentiment among the Dem
ocrats and Independent Republicans
against leasing Muscle Shoals to pri-
vate interests.
