MAYOR CASE UNDECIDED
Supreme Court Does Not Decide
Parker Hughes Case.

Still undecided is the question as to
who is mayor or Topeka. 1t has been
expected that the decision would be
made by the supreme court today. 1t is
rumored that the six judges who are
| here are divided on the matter and are
waiting for Judge Ellis, who has been
SICK for some time, to make the decis-
ion.
II this is true the decision may not be
made until the state house heating plant
is completed, because Judge Ellis has
been very ill with pneumonia and he
cannot sit around in the cold offices up
in the state house.
1t is possible that Judge Ellis may be
able to resume his duties before the
December decisions are handed down,
but 1t is not probable.
