WASl‘llei'l‘ON, lt‘cb. 2.--Conflrina-
tion of the nomination of Sidney 1d.
Huwley to be United States marshal
for Connecticut by the state. was an
nounced at the conclusion of the es-
ecutivo session late Tuesday after-
noon. No opposition to his nomination
developed. lie was favorably acted
upon by the Judiciary committee, to
which the nomination was referred, at

firmed the selection at; its first. opportu.
nity, the name not even lying over a

settles Brandcaec QuestiOn.
The naming of Mr. llawley by
Senator liraudegce is taken here to
indicate that he is out to win rc-
clcction four years from now despite
opposition form the MciA’au-llill wing
of the Republican party in the Nut-
meg Slate. There was nothing con-
ciliatory in this appointment, that is,
conciliatory to the Hill laction.
“ What About Patronage?
This selection also sires an inkling‘
of difficulties there will be over sen-
atorial patronage in Connecticut after
Senatorelect McLean takes his seat.
That they will pull in opposite direc»
'tlons' lathe general belief here: and
it will. be up to the president to de-
cide between the rcommondaiions of
Mr. Brandegcc and Mr. McLean.
And it will be no easy task for Presi-
dent Taft. Mr. McLean was one of
the earliest to get onto the Taft band
wagon in the campaign for the lie
publican presidential nomination in
1908 and he has been a staunch sup.
porter of the chief excutlve. On the
other hand, the president can ilnd no
fault with the support which Senator
Brandegee has given to administra-
tion measures that have been before
congress during the last two years.
