 Hartford dispatch
 Never Opposed Waiter
 I have uefrr had any objection 10 tho confirmation of this man. " senator Norrs said. "I dc not know him; I know nothing in the world against him and have ne, yer said a word against him or in op- position 10 his confirmation. How ever. vas dumbroundcd 10 have given me an item printed in the Hartford Couraut from Washington Undc~ the date line of January 2g. m which some comment was made by the senator from Connecticut upon my opposition to he coufrna- lion Of this man. The comment was so groundless and so completely and absolutely in every respect directly or indirectly without any foundation in fact that | want to take this oc- raslon to say 10 the nominee Whcr- ever he may be and to the people of Connecticut that the dispatch rom Washington 10 W hich I have referred IS so far as it makes any reference to anything I have said or done against this man is absolutely untrue and without foundation what tvcr."
 Went Through Routine
 Senator Norris explained then that the Walter nomination when re- ferred to the judiciary committee, went through the regular procedure and that regular procedure called for investigation by a sub-commit- ice In case protests were filed against nominations. The card made out for the senator had on it the notation protest" aid, Senator Norris cx- plained, without knowing what the protest might be he did the usual and the regular thing and referred 'he nomination to q subcommittee for investigation.
 Tn other worde,' Senator Norris sand with some heat, "I treated this the same as l would treat any other nomination for a similar office; and ] confess that ] Was dumbrouudcd when l founl that up in Connecticut l was charged by the senator from Connecticut with having personal against him, holding up this nomination because I wanted 10 in lure him in some way"
 Two Reasons For Error
 There were two reasons why that was wrong" Norris continued. First ! did not hold il up. Second. I claim ] am broad enough and fair enough that no matter what my personal re- lations might have been l would not have taken d step such as have been accused of taking even If that were true; hut that was not true. The reason introduced the rosolu- ton to which ho refers there. in the Eyan5Ou matfer. was because I thought it was something that dc u anGcd attention from the country. and l think 90 lrt. did not apoloEilc then. 1H1 I do not uoW. nnd if I was guilty ol wrong aguiua' inc senator from ConUo"tigUt when | 4ld il. then every man in this hody who voted for it is likewise guilty.
 I wanted inc people to know that this report that has been spread Hl oyor thc statc Of Couurcurm vaz not only absolutely uulr1r uu was without any foundation Of tnrt whatever. ! ha.n no ohlnvuon to Inc condrlOnuou'
