Unless your listing paperwork provides for early withdrawl fee's or compensation, the answer is No. It does cost brokerages a lot of money to promote a given property and that money is lost if the property is either withdrawn or just doesn't sell, part of the cost of doing business in real estate.
While my answer is general there are numerous brokerages accross the USA that charge any number of fee's not only for early withdrawl but in some cases an up-front listing fee to offset advertising costs. In this unsure market of today no one knows the probability for a given property selling and it will probably be some time before we see some resembulance of the "old days".
