SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
SACRAMENTO. June S.-The extra
session of the Legislature was slightly
enlivened today by the presence of
Thomas B. Dozier, District Attorney of
Shasta County, and George A. Knight,
California's representative on the Re-
publican national committee. 1t is COM
mon talk that the latter is in Sacra-
mento to freshen Congressman Gillett's
boom for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton. Since the opening of the session
Assenblyman Rolley of Humboldt has
been pouring water on Gilletts wheel
The coming of knight suggests the
need of more force
DoZier of Redding is close and
stanch supporter of Senator Clifford
Coggins, who is emerging in pretty
fair shape from a losing contest for
the Office of United States Marshal
Politicians now figure that c. T. Eli
oft of Modesto will be John H. Shines
successor as Marshal for the northern
district of California and that Leo
Youngworth of Los Angeles will sue
| ceed H. z. Osborn for United States
Marshal in the southern district. In
siders insist that Senators Perkins and
Flint have really agreed on this award
of Federal patronage.
1t now transpires that George Hatton
received a copy of Senator Perkins
letter to the President recommending
| Coggins' appointment to succeed Shine
before Coggins himself received copy.
The letter to the State Senator went to
| his home station up north and did not
come back to Sacramento until Hatton
had about resolved to ask Senator Per-
| kins to recall the Endorsement on the
ground that CogginS was not speaking
of our senior member of the national
| Senate in parliamentary terms. Wal
/ ter Parker advised against such ex-
/ treme measures on the part of Hatton,
| and the incident was closed.
To CALL CONVENTION.
At the Union League Club. corner of
| Sacramento and Franklin streets, San
| Francisco, next Tuesday at / p. m. the
executive committee of the Republican
State committee will meet to frame up
| the call for State nominating conven-
tion of the party. Later on this month
! the full committee will meet, probably
at Masonic Hall. Fillmore street. TO fix
/ the appertionment of delegates and
name the place for the delegates to as
semble The fight between Sacramento
| and Santa Cruz for the convention
/ honors will then be settled. Already
some of the counties have elected dele
gates in advance of direct knowledge
4 of apportionment.
1t is quite obvious to all the onlook-
ers here that the political campaign
soon as the concurrent resolution to
adjourn the Legislature sine die is
/ adopted in both houses. Word comes
from Fresno that Frank H Short is
wholly out of the race for Governor
and will accept, with DR.. Rowell's full
knowledge and cordial consent, the
Republican nomination to represent
Fresno County in the State Senate.
OF Congressman Gillett's proposed
! candidacy for the Republican nomina
ton for Governor it is said here that
/ his services in Congress should be pro-
| longed He Is worthy representative
of an important district. 1t is said by
many of his personal friends that his
post of duty is in Congress.
EARLY ADJOURNMENT.
SACRAMENTO. June s-An early
| adjournment of the Legislature is ex-
pected. The Senate has practically dis
posed of the business file and
awaits the action of the Assembly on
the motion to get away tomorrow
night The condition of the Assembly
file is such that a proposition to pro-
/ long the session until Monday or
| Tuesday night must be suggested.
Goyernor Pardee will not send to the
Senate the ad-interim appointments
until some agreement is reached on
the concurrent resolution to adjourn.
Senators who are supposed to be
close to the Chief Executive fancy that
John D. Mackenzies successor as
State Harbor Commissioner. will not
be named at this time. Gossip goes
that John d. Daily and H. H. Lynch
expect recognition. There would be
no surprise if Bank Commissioner
is appointed to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Zoeth S. Ell
dredge. A few months before the fire
Eldredge resigned to accept the presi-
dency of the National Bank of the Pa
cific in the Claus Spreckels building.
San Francisco. The name of Colonel
John c. Currier of San Francisco is
mentioned as one of the men the Gov
4 ernor has in mind for the place. Other
names are also on the list.
The fate of the street widening
amendment may be settled in the As
sembly tomorrow afternoon without a
stubborn struggle. Important con-
cessions have been made to pacify the
element of citizenship that favors i'm
mediate rebuilding of Montgomery.
Geary and other business streets on
the lines that existed before the fire
4 1t seems the committee of forty and
the Downtown Property Owners AS
sociation have resolved to permit the
Senators and Assemblymen to settle
the points in controversy without fur
ther outside agitation.
