Bismarck, N. D., Sept 2.-Nothing further
has been stated by Governor White regarding
an extra session OF the legislature. From the
comments Of the state press it would seem that
the republican party leaders, aside from the
governor, are lending their efforts to defeat the
extra session project. They fear many compH-
cations in legislation that might be embarrass.
ing, and more than all that the members of
the legislature might get into deadlock and
remain in session for several weeks thus cost
ing the state more than expected. The spe-
cia1 session would be charged up to the party
and might be difficult issue to meet in the
coming campaign. ~
Altogether 1t is rather an embarrassing situa-
ton for the governor, who would like to see
the institutions taken of, but does not want
the extra session to get beyond control.

ruled this and directs answer to be made b.
the defendant.
