Friends of Senator Teller Have
 Evidently Sidestepped Him
WANTS DEMOCRATS UNSEATED
Confusion in colorado Over Selection of U. S. Senator is So Great thu Smartest of the Politicians Fail
 to Figure 1t Out.

Denver, Col, January 1.-The confusion existing in Colorado as result of the fight over the selection of successor to United States Senator Henry NJ. Teller Is puzzling even to the most astute politi- cal minds, MT. Wolcott and his friends insist that action looking to the unseating of certain democratic members of the house, because of alleged fraud in the ballot returns be taken before balloting Is begun on the senatorship. He charges his republican opponents with q deliber- ate attempt to delay in this matter, be- cause of a deal with the democrats which involved this question. In a statement issued by MT. Wolcott tonight, he says:
 Gross frauds. concerning which the evidence is indisputable should lead to the unseating of seventeen fraudulenlly elected democrats in the house.
 Anxious for Vote.
 Every friend of mine, including the seventeen members who asked for a caucus. is anxious to have a speedy vote on unseating these fraudulently elected democrats, but there Is grave danger that there will be no action on expelling until after the 2Oth, when voting on the senatorship commences.
 ''If the legislature shall be made re- publican on joint ballot before a senator Is elected, all that l or my friends ask is that he shall be chosen in free and fair conference or caucus by the republican members"
 The anti Wolcott republicans have maintained all along that no deal be- tween the democrats and anti-Wolcott forces has been made. and that they will never vote for a democrat for United States senator. Among the several can didates of the anti-Wolcott people Frank c. Goudy of Denver probably has the largest following
 Means TeIIers Election.
 Some say that the split in the repub- lican party will result in MT. Teller's re- turn to the senate, and should the con- tested seats in the house be given to the democrats. there is little doubt that Tel Ter will be chosen, as he was endorsed by the democratic state convention, and by nearly all the county conventions. However, Former Governor Ava Adams of Pueblo looms up as a possibility.
 The following telegram has been re- ceved by William Stapleton, editor of the Denver Republican:
 "Washington, D. c. January 10. "We, in common with the friends ot the republican party here, deplore the con ditions now existing in the legislature in your state Anything that will destroy the prospects of electing a republican senator ia deprecated to the utmost de- gree. If a remedy can be found, we most earnestly appec, to those republicans con trolling the situation to make the enort, considering above all else, the interests of the party.
