Renewed ' Efforts to Bring
About Resignation ot At
torney General Considered
By Leaders
INQUIRY WOULD LAST ,!
MONTHS, IS STATEMENT
Expected That it Will Starjt
' Next Week Anyway But
' Time Undetermined
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. Ret
newed efforts to bring about the
resignation of Attorney General
Daugherty are under consider
ation among senate republicans.
Some of the parly leaders who
have participated in recent nego
tiations looking' to his retirement
are not satisfied with the arrange
ment which permits him to re
main in the cabinet until the sen
ate investigation of his adminis
tration is concluded. This plan
they say, may mean an Indefinite
delay. " t
' . Decision Unsatisfactory!
The statement of Mr. Daugh
erty before he left suddenly yes
terday for Chicago was- an evident
disappointment to these members.
Although the general belief is that
his resignation will be demanded
at the conclusion of the senate in
quiry, it is argued by his critics
that he ought not to be aUowed to
remain in dffice to influence the
course ot the ihvestlgatlon-Th
resolution of Inquiry is" to! be
adopted tomorrow- under a formal
agreement entered into late: to-4
day, giving it. exclusive right of
way. Its author, Senator Wheel
er, democrat, - Montana, remained
OH-watfth all day but in the tar
moil of other senate affairs' was
unable to find an opportunity to
call it up. Late 1n the afternoon
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the
democratic leader, obtained an un
animous consent agreement for its
consideration1 tomorrow imme
ditetely after the usual routine
business and it will then be de
bated continuously until a' final
vote is taken. The leaders expect
comparatively little discussiod,
and adoption is assured.
In the brief discussion today,
Senator Willis, republican, Ohio,
recognized as spokesman for Mr.
Daugherty, said there was no de
sire to hamper or delay the Wheel
er resolution. . He and others will
oppose' the provision naming Sen
ator Brookhart, Iowa, an insur
gent republican "to head the in
vestigating committee but it ap
peared likely that he and the other
committee member named by Sen
ator Wheeler would be chosen by
a majojjty vote of the senate.
Inquiry Not Delayed
U is the plan 'to begin the in
quiry next week. Whether Mr.
Daugherty will be present is un
certain, since he expects -to go
from Chicago .to Florida. He has
requested the privilege of being
represented by counsel and Sena
tors have Indicated that this prob
ably will be granted but there is
no thought of delaying tho hear
ings because of his absence frfom
Washington.
How long the inquiry will taKe
no one will predict, but It it runs
the course of most congressional
invesligations it may take several
mouths. It i3 this prospect which
has led to renewed dissatisfac
tion with the plan to keep Mr.
Daugherty in office until the
hearings are concluded.
