OLYMPIA. Jan. IA bomb In the Will
son camp today exploded when Chairman
Scaiveiy. Of the state central committee
and the most prominent Republican worker
In the state. came out openly as a sup
porter and We'll wisher OF Judge Humes.
Upon learning this. Mr. Wilson became
very indignant and used some very severe
language against Mr.. Schive,y. saying
among other things that he was an migrate
and had no just cause to enter the sena-
torial contest.
When this was called to the attention
OF Mr.. Schive.y, that gentleman said:
II was a member of the King county
convention that Endorsed Judge Humes
and voted for tho resolution pledging the
King county delegation in the legislature
TO use every honorable means for his eiec-
ton Mr. Wilson and his friends were the
only ones who used any pressure at al to
! force me TO declare myself. asking me TO
support Senator Wilson. / do not under
stand why the senator should refer TO me-
as an ingrate since am under no personal
obligation to him. the shoe rather being
on the other foot. as / was u factor in
his election four years ago. which has
never been recognized tn the least respect
! certainly am not under any obligations
TO support Senator Wilson. through my Of
flee as chairman OF the Republican state
central committee, because of any con:ri-
buttons made by him in the late campaign.
The money In his hands was given 20 him
fer campaign expenses and properly be-
longed TO the Republican party. In this
connection ii IL the simple truth to say that
Senator Wilson personally appropriated
this money 10 those places where he
thought his own interests would be best
subservea'
Five Less Names on Wilson's List.
The hurly-burly OF tho speakership con-
test today interferei greatly with the
senatorial workers. This was only natural
as the speakership fight carried with It
siates naming the persons occupying the
positions necessary to organize the house
and nearly all the members were personal
ly interested In this feature. and to such
an extent that they had little interest
In the senatorial fight. Nevertheless Sena-
tor Wilson found IL sufficiently interesting
for during the day he was compelled to
erase five names from the list OF '.his''
members.
Those Who have kept posted In the fight
have known all along that Senator VIII
son was bardened with an inflated list of
supposed followers. They knew Wilson
was counting on 81 large number OF MEM
bers supporting him who were In reality
antagonlstic 10 Wilson machine politics
and never would go 10 him Today FIVE
Of these members openly informed Sena-
tor Wilson'S friends that their names must
be removed from his list Many other
names vii, be taken of before halioting
begins for the list Is still considerably
stuffed.
The Wilson campaign is really In a de-
rnoralxtd condition. and so apparent is Il
