The hot time of the session Erewsolut Ut
af the organization of the Twetny- sec
ond Senatorial District Convention
when the Fortieth Assembly, with ten
delegates. met the Thirty-ninth with
an equal number. Jesse Marks nonl-
mated Henry Ach for chairman and Ach
declared himself elected, refusing TO
grant a roll call. Maestretti used
rough-house talk in denunciation of
Ach and o. l. Scott's manner was more
threatening than his words. Macs
tretti pulled out the Thirty ninth dele
gates from the Ach convention land
rounded them up in another section OF
the main hall.
HARTMAN IS NAMED.
Ach and Jesse Marks made haste to
nominate Gus Hartman for the SEN
ate and TO select a purity committee
and gave a spice of irony to the af-
fair by placing Maestretti on the
committee. The other faction nomi-
mated Thomas E. Atkinson for the Sem
ate. When the main convention as
senabled after the recess the tumult
began. Chairman oliver rushed the
Ach report through, thus notifying the
nomination of Hartman.
Maestretti announced last night that
the courts would be appealed to in
order to enjoin the registrars from
placing Hartman on the ballot. r.. H.
countryman will represent the Thirty
ninth in court.
