SENATE TO CONFIRM GR AY SON.
Washington, March 7.? Republi
can opposition to the confirmation of
Dr. Carey T. Grayson, President Wil?
son's naval aide, just renomlnated a'
medical director and rear admiral, is
not expected to develop much streng!
at the present special senate session.
Senator Weeks, who led the fight in
ihe last session, is said to have con?
sidered that it would be useless to at?
tempt another filibuster, as the Dem?
ocrats will vote almost solidly for con?
firmation.
The Grayson nomination is one of
the few on the long list to be con?
firmed likely to cause debate and if
the rules controversy is cleared up
without an extended fight the senate's
extraordinary session probably will be
short lived.

Through Justice Holmes the court
held that the discount clause designed
