DEADLOCK MAY END
KENTUCKY REPUBLICANS MAY
ELECT BOYLE SENATOR TO-DAY.
An Effort VIII BE Made to Unseat n
Democrat just Before the Bal
loting Begins.

FRANKFORT, KY. March 6.-The Repub-
lican members Of the Legislature feel con-
fident that ST. John Boyle, of Louisville,
will tomorrow be elected United States
Senator. They propose the first thing to-
morrow to force a vote in the House on
the Kaufman-Dunlap contest. After un-
seating Kaufman and swearing in Dunlap
the Senate will not have time to retaliate
before the legal hour arrives for the joint
ballot. Boyle lacks only one vote tonight,
and his friends say he will get it to-mor-
row before there is any time allowed for
any revolutionary measures. The Senate
has Democratic majority and the House
Republican majority. The Blackburn
managers threatened to throw out two Re-
publican Senators for every Democrat un-
seated in the Senate. No contests have been
flied in the Senate, and Senator cannot
be expelled except on a two-thirds vote.
The Blackburn men are expected to make
some sort of a forcible resistance to-mor-
row to the election Of Boyle.
The roll call for the forty-first ballot to-
day showed LIS members present; necessary
to a choice, 6. The three dissatisfied Re-
publicans, Messrs. Nance, Neat and Liebeth,
were paired. Ut did not take long for the
break in Blackburn's forces to commence.
Short speeches Of explanation were the or
der. and 1t soon became evident that the
gold standard men had made no idle state
ment when they said that IL Blackburn did
not withdraw they would leave him. There
was no election. however. The ballot re-
suited: Boyle, 6S; Blackburn, As; Carlisle Is;
Petit, 2. The Republican nominee came
within two votes of an election. At the
conclusion of the ballot the Assembly ad-
journed.
Colonel st. John Boyle. who is now the Re-
publican candidate for Senator, ranks as one
of the leaders of the Louisville bar, and has
for years been identified with large railroad
and corporation interests He is sound
money Republican to the core, and, while he

tion OF the currency question, his views were
well known to his associates Colonel Boyle

the Union forces in Kentucky during the
war He was educated at Center College, in
