Mayhem this afternoon denied the an

of habeas corpus was the right Of the

as other laws are passed. Mayhem held

The announcement that Prof. Arthur 7.
Hadley will, in all probability be elected
a president OF Yale at the meeting OF the

terest here. Those in position to know
consider Prof, Hadley as good as elected
unless the sentiment of the corporation
changes within the next few days.
The meeting OF the corporation has been
set for Thursday of next week. The first
vote on the presidency will be taken at
this meeting and the result will be
watched with the greatest interest All
Yale will be relieved when the question
is settled
There seems TO be little or no opposi-

this fact will receive consideration In

corporation has been greatly perplexed
over the question of president and It
is believed that the enthusiasm shown
