The record in the Oklahoma election

received at the United States Supreme
Court yesterday.
The constitutional convention created

State legislature surely Democratic, and
Outrey, as a taxpayer OF Woods County,
sought TO enjoin Gov. Frantz from issuing
the proclamation for the election. basing
his application on the allegation that the
constitution had no power to change
the boundaries of the county.
The District Court granted an injunc-
ton, the election, then set for August 6,
was postponed TO September Il. and an
appeal was carried to the Oklahoma Su-
preTne Court. That court reversed the
finding Of the trial court, holding that the
constitutional convention had full power
to create new counties. and that the
courts were without jurisdiction to re-
strain the submission of the constitution
to the people for adoption.
Autrey then applied to Justice Brewer
at Chicago for an appeal 10 the Supreme
Court Of the United States and a super
sedeas which would hold up the election
until the questions could be decided by
the court. He declined, however, TO
grant the application, but ordered the
case reversed "for consideration by the

METCALF RUMOR IS REVIVED.
Expected Return Renews
Talk of Resignation.

On the eve Of his return 10 Washington
from California. where he has spent more
than two months, the rumor is revived
that Victor r. Metcalf will resign the
navy portfolio in President Roosevelt's 5
cabinet.
This rumor has been persistently cir
culated since the strange conflict Of state
ment in the announcements issued syn
enormously by Secretary Metcalf at Oak
land and Secretary Lo~D at Oyster Bay,
Mr.. Metcalfs to the effect that it had
been definitely 5etermined to send the At
lantic battle ship feet to the Pacific, and
Mr. Loeb's that no such decision had
been reached.
In the absence from Washington of
those who would be in a position to know
the truth of these rumors, 1t is imp essible
to say whether Mr.. Metcalf will stay
or go.
There is a disposition to believe here
that Mr.. Metcalf has no intention OF leav-
ing the Cabinet voluntarily at this time.
but before reaching any conclusiol in
this regard win await the effect upor his
popularity in California Of the arrival OF
the Atlantic feet in the waters of that
State.
