DELAY EXPECTED. WASHINGTON, July 20. What is considered a defeat for tbe Roosevelt Supreme Court proposals, at least in the present session of Congress, is seen in,; a circumstantial report that after a conference with influential leaders, Vice-President Garner, and Senators Pittman, Barkley, and Harrison, wherein they intimated to the President that the Senate would not pass the measure, he agreed to the withdrawal of the controversial features for the present, to reduce his other legislative programme to a minimum, and secure an early adjournment of Congress in order to allow the heat of the controversy to be dispelled. It was intimated that President Roosevelt would call a special session of Co.\gress in mid-October to enact the remainder of the legislative programme and possibly the Supremo Court proposals the objective of which, it is insisted, he has the intention of relinquishing.
