within the time allotted by law can pro
coed 20 I'll the vacancies IL they exist
after March has been informally discuss
ed 10y n number of the members of the
senate committee on elections and their
opinions that the governors have the
power. The question has not been con
sidcred fully. but the senators who have
expressed their opinion say that ruiz
ing ought 10 be made in the case which
would not deprive state of is equal
representation In the senate.
The vacancy will not really exist until
March, and the governor cannot well APP
point until the vacancy actually occurs.
But il Is believed that he then can desig-
nate senator 10 act until choice is
made AT some subsequent meeting of the
legislature. This viii enable the Repub-
lean governors Of Washington and Mon

WILLIAMSBURG. VA. Nov. 17.-Spe-
cial.-Chief John r.. McKane spent sew
eral hours here to-day. having come up
from Kings Creek. where he and his
party are enjoying n hunting trip. The
boss was accompanied by his son,
Ira McKane. and his lawyer, Mr. George
W. Roderick. OF Gravesend. n. Y. They
came up TO take the u o'clock train for
home being called thither by the death
Of a friend. Having arrived here sew
eral hours before train time. your cor
respondent was fortunate in securing an
interview with the chief who was ex-
ceedingly affable and agreeable, and
seemed willing 10 explain fully the
political trouble about which the voters
are making such a to-do.
Mr.. McKane said he intended 20 enter a
libel suit against the Brooklyn Eagle
and the New York World. He said.
"There is no occasion for their attack
upon me. and / don't intend 10 stand It.
They have viifed and abused me-"
Speaking Of the contempt Of court, which
Is charged against the Boss he said,
"I have been served with no papers from
the court, and consequently. / have
violated no order Of the Court" lie gave
a fun explanation OF the working Of the
New York election law. He said the whole
row grew out Of the fact that In a voting
population OF 5000 or 5000 not more
than $50 ballots were cast for the Repub-
lican candidates" Colonel McKane eX-
planned that the ratio Of the population
10 the registered votes was small Oh ac-
count Of the great number Of voters who
registered at Gravesend and work at
other nearby places.
Chief McKane said: Among those who
are trying TO get me into trouble and
who has contributed 800 toward my prose
cution. is a former employe at the New
York Custom House
The boss LETT here with his son and Mr..
Roderick about noon, and said he would
return I'm about ten days.
