9 TO 8. While the voting was by
secret ballot it is reasonably Ger
tain that the 9 to S vote is the cor
rect tally. Although the voting on
all three judgeships showed the
same result, it is believed that
those who voted against Layton
and Richards were not the same
as those against Nelson. 1t is said
that one Republican Senator who
had voted against Layton and
