CLASH BETWEEN
 TWO GOVERNORS Failure to Honor Acquisition Pa-
 pers the Cause.
SHIPPY RESISTS IN COURT
Charged With Grand Larceny Here Ex- tradition Papers Issued by Gov. Johnston May Not be Hon.
 ored by Gov. Candler

It is probable that Governor Candler of Georgia will refuse to honor requisition issued on him few days ago by Governor Johnston of this State. This action on the part of the Georgia chief executive is said to be due principally to the like action of Governor Johnston in the past
 N. N. Shippy, some time ago located in Birmingham, is wanted here to answer to the charge of grand larceny. He was for a while the local agent for an out-of-town company, and is said to have been short In his accounts when he left here. Later he was apprehended in Columbus Ga, and Governor Johnston issued acquisition pa pers for him. These were placed' in the hands of Deputy Sheriff George Courson, who went to Columbus the middle of last week to serve them.
 Shippy has employed able counsel and will make a strong resistance in the courts to being returned to Alabama. Referring to this the Atlanta Constitution of yes terday says
 ''Governor Johnston of Alabama has issued acquisition on Governor Candier for the delivery to Alabama officers of N N Chippy, travelling man recently placed under arrest at Columbus on the charge of grand larceny. The attorney and friends of the man who is wanted in the adjoining state have signified their intention of fight ing to the last the requisiton, and Govern or Candler will hear the case today in his office at the state house.
 "The chief executive spent the day yes terday inspecting the prison farm at Mil ledgeville and was, therefore, absent when To1.., rived. He was informed at once by wire of the nature of the extradition papers and he notified both sides that he would give the case the closest attention.
 "This particular acquisition coming from Alabama is of interest from more than one point of view. On one or two occasions during the past year Governor Candler haa appealed to Governor Johnston for persons wanted in this State, and on each occasion the Chief Executive of Alabama has exer- cised very great discretion, and some of the applications were, in fact. refused. Cor respondence between the two Governors on this subject of very interesting and spicy nature passed only few weeks ago. Gov ernor Johnston practically gave Governor Candler to understand that he had about ceased honoring acquisitions in misde- meanor cases.
 If the facts in the case which came over from Alabama yesterday are what the counsel for N. N. Shippy allege them to be, the probability is that Governor Candler will refuse to honor the papers of Governor Johnston. The Governor of Georgia on a former occasion made himself clear the point that he would not consent to a requi- sition where the only object was to collect money from the person wanted. Shippy formerly represented a tailor firm in Ma con, and he is wanted in Birmingham on the complaint of the agent of the Macon firm that Shippy owes him $l37. The man was arrested a day or two ago in Colum- bus, but 1t is another matter to take him into Alabama to answer the charge against him. Attorney Carson at Columbus has wired to Governor Candler asking that he delay action in the case until Shippy's side of the matter is brought to light
 ''The offense with which the man is charged is extradtable, but it remains for the hearing today to prove whether the charge of grand larceny can be sustained. Governor Johnston will be represented at the hearing by the solicitor of the Jefferson County circuit court"
