Senator Aiken warned Clement Haynsworth may fall short of the 50 votes needed for confirmation to the Supreme Court even if all uncommitted senators back him. Aiken's estimate conflicts with a UPIs 43 against and 37 for, leaving 20 uncommitted. Senate leaders expect a tight roll call with a few decisive votes, while some Republicans oppose and others lean toward confirmation.
