Objection.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The second "career" of Victor L. Berger, Milwaukee socialist, as a congressman-elect, will be short, Representative Dallinger, Massachusetts, chairman of the special committee that recommended the Wisconsin representative's first exclusion from the house, said today.

Berger is expected to appear in the house this week and ask to be sworn in. Dallinger will object and immediately present a resolution declaring that the socialist should not be admitted to membership. This resolution will be passed with as large a vote as the count of 301 to 1 on the similar one, Dallinger said today.
