(Received 22, 8.45 a.m.) WASHINGTON, July 21. What is considered to mark the de--feat of President Roosevelt's proposal for reforming the tJnited States Su--preme Court, at least during the present session of Congress, is seen in a eircumstantial report of a conference of inftuential leaders, including Senators Garner. Pittman, Barkley, and Harrison. It was subsequently intimated to the President that the Sehate would not pass the measure, and that he agreed to the withdrawal of the controversial features of the Bill for the present and to reduce his other legislative programme to a minimum an*l to 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 eall a special session of Congress in the middle of October to act on the remainder of' the legislative programme, and possibly tho Supreme Court reform proposals, the objective of which, it is insisted, he has no intention of relinquishing.
