The Wise-Young election contest held
the attention of the House Of Representa-
tiyes during most Of the session yesterday.
The Journal having been approved, Mr..
Knox asked and received unanimous con-
sent to make the Senate bill providing a
government for Hawaii the special order
for Tuesday. April .. the vote to be taken
on its passage at 4 O'Clock Thursday,
April 3.
Consideration was then resumed OF the
election case. Mr. Weeks continuing his
speech in favor of Mr.. Wise. An agree
ment was made to take a vote at $50
o'clock Monday afternoon.
Mr. Weeks was followed by Mr.. Burke,
who sustained the right OF Young to retain
his seat Al the conclusion Of Mr.. Burke S
remarks he stated that two Democratic
members who had intended to address the
House on the report were unavodably de
tanned. and he suggested that with the
close Of the next speech the House stand
adjourned until Monday
Mr.. Weeks objected, and Mr. Burke
moved TO adjourn. His motion was lost.
In the course Of his remarks Mr. Burke
had charged upon the authority Of letter
written bE Nal ltudA At.LL44llA Att4lalA i9tN
den. Of Virginia that Wise was bolter
and that one Holland was the regular Re
publican nominee FOR Congress.
TO this Mr. Hull who was chairman Of
the sub committee Of the Republican
Congressional Committee in charge Of
contests responded that Wise had been
officially declared by the only tribunal com
1etent to pass upon the matter TO be the
regular Republican candidate for Congress
from the Second district OF Virginia
Replying to questions by several Demo-
crafts Mr. Hull further asserted that so far
as he could judge, the Republican State
organization in Virginia had but one am
bition on earth, and that was TO keep the
party small enough to absorb all the Fed
ersl Offices in The state.
The argument for the contestant was
continued by Mr.. Luney. At the close of
his remarks. at 4;15 o'clock, the House ad-
iOuTned until Monday.
