regulation, his pet bill, had been J id

republican regulars of the senate, he(

Washington, May 3. Republican
machine leaders are worried today on
account of Congressman Harrison's

terday calling on Attorney General
Wlckersham for papers requested by
Brandeis for the Balllnger Investiga
tlqn committee which the committee
refused to ask for Wickersham to fur-.

If the resolution comes to the fioor,
as is likely, it means a fight In which
the democrats would declare the com

disgruntled at the committee's actoln.
