 Montgomery, october 4.-(Special.) l.)-Gov. William D. Jelks will return from Mobile in the morning and will be in his office at the regular hour for beginning his day work. He wired from Mobile today that things had quieted down and the situation not so bad as he had thought and he would return on the midnight train, reach ing here at 6;30 a. m.
 Early this morning there was rimor on the street that the executive had noti- fled the local troops to be ready for an emergency, and somewhat of excitement resulted. However, it was soon discovered that no such notice had been received and the restlessness passed away 50 far as can be learned the out of town companies on duty there will be removed tomorrow, leaving the duty of looking after the situation to the local men.
 Col. c. R. Brlcken Is very much elated over the prompt response of local troops to the call Tuesday night and says he will give them special commendation Tor it. He was at Brewton but wired his readiness to get out with his men 1T nee- essary to the governor at Mobile. Ihe outlook is that no more soldiers will be needed. but they will be easy of access If there promises trouble at the trials of the two indicted negroes.
 Republican Mx-Up.
 The two factions of the Alabama re. publican party are In row that mas reached the state capitol. Some days ago the Davidson faction filed notice of the nominees on a ticket and also laid claim to the party emblem for their ticket. This would have cut off the regular crowd, known as the "ins" and headed by Charles Scott of Montgomery and J. O. Thomp- son Of Birmingham, so a protest has been filed to prevent it with the secretary O. state.
 Erastus ]. Parsons, the young district attorney of the United States court, With others of the Thompson and Scott crowd. have had the matter up with Secretary of State McDavid and that official has 1t under advisement. It Is not clear what can be uOne. so MT. N1tl1aNib WiAA 'ic'' it up for an opinion from the attorney general.
 The Alabama law requires that every party shall have placed on the ticket an emblem so that 1t will be known what side voter is voting on, the idea being that a picture will give him information If the Davidson wing keeps the emblem the others will be cut out, so they are trying to prevent it.
