LOOKING UP STATEHOOD

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 1.-Gov-
ernor Thornton, of New Mexico, is here
trying to discover what is the matter
with the statehood bill. The PROPOSE

capitol. The governor had interviews
with Senator Faulkner and others to-
day. He learned that the delay is due
to the fact that the democratic senators
are in doubt as to the probable COM
plexion of the senators who will come
from New Mexico if the admission bill
passes. The governor is assured that if
he can remove this doubt and convince
the democrats that the New Mexico
legislature will be democratic with
statehood, there will be no further de-
lay over the measure.
