caster, as Secretary of state, and Rec
publican State Chairman Ell.in Is
Named as Attorney General.
Harrisburg, Jan. 1S.-IThe end Of the
first days fight In the battle for Uni
ted States senator leaves the result
very much In doubt. 1t Is Senator
Quay against the field, and the indica-
tions are that there will be q deadlock,
lasting some days at least. The Re-
publicans are divided between Mr..
Quay and eight "favorite sons" and the
Democrats are united on George A.
Jenks The senate and house voted
separately yesterday afternoon and will
take ballot this afternoon in joint ses-
sion. There was no election yesterday.
and should the ballot show no election
today the balloting will continue daily
until selection is made. Senator
Quays total strength In both houses
was 1l2 votes 16 less than the number
necessary to elect on joint ballot, as
Stunning that the full membership OF
254 Is present, condition that does
not seem possible. as there are several
on the sick list now.
In the senate there were Al Of the
90 senators present and voting. Mr..
Hawkins Is in Manila, Mr.. Higgins Is
sick abed, and as General Goblin took
the oath of office as lieutenant gov
ernor yesterday he did not have vote
upon the senatorship. The senate's
vote resulted: Matthew Stanley Quay
of Beaver. 27; George A. jerks of JEFF
ferson. 12: John Dalzell of Pittsburg,
81: George A. HUFF of ,Westmoreland.
/; Charles Emory Smith Of Philadel-
ptlia, /: Colonel T.. A. Irwin of Clear
field, /; Charles w. Stone of Warren,
1: John Stewart of Franklin, l.
The vote of the house was as fol-
lows: Quay, S5; jerks, 10; Dalzell, 10;
Stone, .: Stewart. g.; Huff, A.; Charles
q. Rice, 2; Alvin Markle. /; Charles
Tubbs. 4; Galusha A. Grow, 1; Peter
II. Smith, ]; f. A. Irvine. g. Absent
and not voting, 4.
The result of the vote for United
States senator was no surprise to those
familiar with the situation. OF the
original signers to the anti-Quay
pledge Senator Samuel A. Losch Of
Schuylkill and Representative John !.
Shaw of Allegheny voted for Senator
Quay. Representative Frank L. Sny-
der of Luzerne. who was too Ill to
qualify when the legislature organized,
took his seat yesterday. He was
claimed by both factions, and pleased
neither by voting for Alvin Marble,
the Hazleton millionaire coal operator
and banker.
The 81 Republicans senator's and
members who have signed the second
anti-Quay pledge voted as they prom
lsed Representative Clinton Rogers
posed to Senator Quay but declines to
act with his opponents, voted for
President Judge Charles E. Rice of the
superior court. This makes 80 votes
which the anti-Quay leaders claim
Benator Quay cannot get while he
Is a candidate. Representative Tim
lin of Lackawanna cast his ballot for
Superior Court Judge Peter p. Smith
of Scranton. He was the only Demo-
crat who failed to vote for JenKs, the
party choice.
The essence of the situation Is that
- long as the ant-Quay Republicans
ars united and the Democrats vote for
Ueuks Senator Quay cannot be re-
elected. His friends are confident,
however, that he will steadily gain
vetes after today. while the leaders of
The other side are just as confident that
he has reached the high water mark.
Governor Stone is the senator's friend,
Ind Is aiding him in his campaign.
Nae senator Is on the ground managing
fAis canvass and expects to stay dur
ING She early stages of the contest.
I The anti-Quay Republican senators
and members have agreed to meet daily
until the fight Is settled They are d.
vided on Congressman Dalzell and
Btone and other Independent Republi-
cans. Their leaders say 1t Is too early
to concentrate on one candidate against
Senator Quay. There does not seem
To be any prospects of combination
between the anti-Quay Republicans
and the Democrats on the senatorshp.
) Although not single vote was cast
In either house for Senator Chris L.
Magce of Pittsburg. he is regarded as
a most important factor in the contest.
He has for years been opposed to Sem
ator Quay's control of the state, but
he declined to stay away from the
Republican caucus at which he was
made the nominee, and voted for him
yesterday. This has made him popular
with the friends of Senator Quay and
did not apparently diminish his popu-
larity with the anti-Quay Republicans.
Many Of Senator Magee's friends in
both factions are predicting that their
1ayorlte will be chosen to succeed Sem
Rtor Quay In the event of 1t being
demonstrated that the latter cannot
win.
u The chief events of the day were the
change of the state administration, the
balloting for United States senator and
The delay In the cabinet appointments
of the pew governor. The custom is to
Hend the cabinet nominations to the
senate al meeting of that body with
In a few hours after the governor takes
his seat. There was doubt as to how
Governor Stones appointments would
be received, and they did not reach
the senate until after that body had
adjourned for the day. The governor
dominates William w. Griest Of Lam
caster for secretary of the common
wealth, John P. Elkln Of Indiana chair

It is announced on good authority
Ahat ex-State Senator Durham. the
Ieader of the Quay forces In Philadel-
phia, will be appointed insurance com.
imissioner by Governor Stone. The
appointment will probably be sent to
the senate for confirmation before the
end of the week.
