Washington April 2. The Senate held a long closed session over the nomination of Winthrop Daniels of New Jersey to the Interstate Commerce Commission. A recess was taken to resume debate tomorrow, the third day of continuous consideration.
Democratic leaders met after recess to discuss changing the unanimous consent agreement to allow a vote on the nomination. Some urged replacing the consent with a vote on recommitting the nomination to avoid potential embarrassment if Daniels were rejected. Friends of Daniels predicted eventual confirmation. Senators Laffollette and Cummins led the opposition, while Martine of Daniels’ state said confirmation would be a mistake and that he respected Daniels. Daniels’ stance in the Passaic gas rate case on public service property valuation fueled the contest.
