Immediately upon the adjournment OF

Of the two houses went into caucus III

ballots without showing any change from
the combined vote in the Senate and AS
Sembly Under the impression that q
Joint ballot was to be taken at noon to-
day q meeting Of the caucus committee
was called at O'Clock this morning, but
IN view of the fact that the joint ballot
would not be taken till tomorrow noon
nothing was done and the committee ad
journed till 9 O'Clock tomorrow morning
The meeting was to make q programme
for the joint ballot to preclude the posi-
bility of any slip. With nobody within
20 votes of enough to elect on a joint
ballot there is little prospect OF any COM
bination with the Democrats, but nc
chances will be taken
It will require G7 votes to elect on q
joint ballot, since the whole number of
votes in both houses must be taken into
account on that vote.
Senator Thayer called the caucus to
order at 1890 o'clock and the balloting
began promptly. The roll call showed
only one absentee, Mr.. Holland.
Assemblyman Anderson voted for Mr.
Cook as be had done in the Assembly
but as his vote was not noticed then the
l..
vote stood: Quarles, ~; Stephenson, %
