Unconhrmed reports that President
Roosevelt was willing to compromise
the court BILL even TO the elimination
OF reference to the Supreme Court
threw the Senate wing at the Capitol
into confusion today.
Without going to the extent OF ad-
mitting an elimination of the Su-
preme Court feature of the bill, high
official of the Government expressed
the opinion that within a week COM
promise satisfactory to all sides would
be worked out.
Senator Wheeler Of Montana. leader
of the opposition to the court bill. i'm
mediately declared that any compro-
mise would have to exclude any in
crease in the membership OF the Su-
preme Court.
Senator Barkley of Kentucky. act
ing Democratic leader, declined to
comment upon these reports. He said
tomorrow the Democratic caucus of
the Senate would elect a new leader
to succeed the late Senator Robinson.

Five Principal Points.
In some quarters it was pointed out
that the court reform bill contained
five principal points Four of them
have been generally accepted by the
Senate. il was said. The fifth was
the Supreme Court feature This sug-
eestion was interpreted as heaning the
President possibly would be willing
to take four-fifths OF his bill and let
the other fifth go
Senator Wheeler said that If there
was to be such compromise. the
only thing to do was to recommit
the bill to the Judiciary Committee
and refer it to a subcommittee of
liberal Senators.
He agreed that there were some re-
forms in the judicial system that can
be made. He suggested that three
judges, instead of one. in the inferior
courts should pass on constitutional
questions. He suggested there should
be some limitation placed upon the
fees permitted in receivership cases
He suggested also that steps be taken
10 speed up and that judges be given
the right to dismiss cases unless the
lltlgants were willing to come to trial.
Wagner Prepares Answer.
Senator Wagner of New York, who
returned to Washington today, pre-
pared letter in answer to Gov. Leh-
man OF New York Lehman wrote
Wagner yesterday urging him to on
pose the Presidents court bill. Wag-
ner reply, 1t is expected, will be given
out for publication later today. 1t is
believed Wagner will decline to oppose
the court bill.
The Senate adjourned today until
noon Thursday after a session lasting
only few minutes.
O*tensibly. the adjournment was
taken to permit the election OF
Democratic leader to succeed the late
Senator Robinson OF Arkansas before
the Judiciary bill fight is resumed.
The leadership contest has narrowed
down to Senator Harrison of Missis-
sippi and Senator Barley. The
Democrats will make an effort to elect
their new leader at a caucus tomorrow
morning.
Opponents Of the court program
held conference this morning and
decided to postpone a motion to re-
commit the bill.
