Gauntlet Thrown Down in Battle to Choose Attor. ney General Belief Expressed by Senator Butler That Nomination IWill Carry WASHINGTON, March 12. Uto Fresldent Caolldge threw down the gauntlet to his opponents In the sen ate today by again submitting the nomination of Charles B. Warren to be attorney generaL president sent the nomination back just In time to have it waiting on the senate doorstep when the day's ses sion began at noon. The decision of the chief executive astonished most of the senators. Including the rank ing republican leaders who had advis ed the White House that if It return ed the name of Mr. Warren would tare no better thau it did when the senate rejected it on Tuesday by a ' tie Tote. , Without Precedent. Borne old timers In the senate could recall no precedent for tho re turn of a cabinet nomination that al-. rcauy nsQ lanea lo comraanu a jun Jorlty. Such a failure Itself has not occurred since the days ot Andrew Jnckeon and nil told there have been but five previous occasions on which the senate withheld its approval of any man chosen by the president to sit in his official family. It was Senator Butler of Massa chusetts, the president's close friend, elevated by him to chairmanship of the republican national committee and but recently appointed to the seat formerly held by Henry Cabot Lodge, who told Mr. Cooltdge that the sen ate leaders hsd given np toe easily. At a breakfsst conference with the executive and Mr. Wsrren himself, Senator Bntler Insisted thst the Totes for confinnstlon eonld be obtained, sod should be obtained. ' Up to Mr. Warren Mr. Coolidge and the nominee lis tened attentively to this new preaen tstlon of the esse. Then the presi dent turned to Mr. Warren and left it to him to decide whether the issue should be fought out to a finish or considered closed. Mr. Wsrren decid ed In favor of a fight. No sooner had news of the deefs ion reached the capitol than the ene mies of the Warren appointment be gan preparationa to re-open a battle they thought .they already had won. Senators Walsh ot Montana and Reed of Missouri declared they would make a resistance even more otubborn than that which mustered 40 votes on Tuesday's roll call to offset and nul lify the 40 commanded by the admin istration leaders. For their part most ot the repub lican organization leaders declined to comment. They aaid they would again go through the motions of referring the nomination to committee and then bringing it to the senate flour. The outcome, they suid, could only be determined by the roll call itself. 1'ublicly, Mr. Wnrrcn would muki no comment. WOOL CLIP ESTINfATEO WASHINGTON, March .
