was adopted, to appoint a subcommittee

BUT ONE VOTE NEEDED
Teller Gets Fifty in the Colo
RADIO Assembly.
Two of Hsggohs Followers Deserted Him.
Election of Teller al Joint Session To-
day Seems Probable.
(By the Associated Press.)

Denver, Col. jan 20.-Both houses Of
ted States Senator at noon today and
Henry 5. Teller received fifty votes,
only one less than is needed Senator
CURE, Democrat, refrained from voting,
but he said he would vote for Teller if
it should appear that he could be elected.
Only two Republican Senators were in
the Senate chamber when the vote was
taken and they did not respond when
their names were called. Soon after the
nine regular Republican Senators, with
the two who were expelled by the Demo
cratic minority and the eight contestants
who were sworn in on the steps Of the
capitol last night, assembled in the
Lieutenant Governors room and formed
a separate organization, the Senate Of
ficers previously chosen being ordered
removed. A ballot was then taken for
Senator. e. O. Walcott receiving nine
votes. Subsequently two of the regularly
elected Republican Senators, Drake and
Cornforth, left the Senate and returned
to the Senate chamber where they an
nounced that they would act with the
regular Senate" and would no longer
participate in farce" Under the Con-
stitution Lieutenant Governor Haggott
is the presiding officer of the joint SEES
sion, which is tC meet tomorrow at noon
to vote for Senator. He will insist that
the body over which he presided today
was the regular Senate and the vote for
Senator should be accepted. The Speaker
of the House would then be called upon
to decide which side was regular. If the
Democratic Senate shall be recognized
and the House remain with its present
membership as now seems likely Sena-
tor Teller will be reelected. On the
contrary if the Republican Senate shall
be recognized the balloting will con-
tinue indefinitely.
WOLCOTT WANTS TROOPS.
Edward o. Wolcott, the leading Re
publican candidate for Senator, and his
followers are urging the Governor to
call out the militia to place Haggot and
the Republicans in possession of the
chamber.
Governor Peabody said today that he
would not interfere.
The Republican leaders in the House
today refused to carry out the Wolcott
program and unseat the eleven Arapahoe
Democrats. The Senate seems in con-
tinuous session, but will not remove any
more Republicans pending further ag-
gressicn by the House.
