BALTIMORE. October 20.-It is asserted
that. as Maryland's Australian Election law
was signed after the legislature adjourned,
it is imperative. For three days arguments
have been in progress before the Court of
Appeals, and today 1t is announced that a

Should the court decide that bill must. be
signed before the final adjournment of the
legislature, not only the Election law, but
the appropriation bills, the Oyster law, and
other important measures which we're signed
at the same time, will be imperative, and
the governor may have to convene the legis-
