Madison. Nav

Madison, May l.
! Five more ballots last night in the
republican senatorial caucus resulted
in no change in lines of the five lead
ing candidates for the seat at Wash
ington Of Senator John C. Spooner,
and his place became vacant without
| the election Of successor, nor with
any probability that the deadlock will
be broken in the near future
Aside from the vote of Assembly
man Grassie for Dr. w A Gordon
superintendent of the northern insane
asylum at Oshkosh, last nights ballots
were without incident. Mr. Cooper
had II votes on all five ballots Esch
had Is On first and - on last four.
Hatten 16 throughout Lenroot pre-
ciseiy the same as Esch. Stephenson
16 on the first two and - on the last
three. Winkler and Baensch 4 each
throughout. Gordon 1 throughout and
Senator SanbOrn one on the first bal
lot Reports of Monday night and
yesterday that Stephenson would be
nominated last night failed to mater
ialize. There seems to be no more
comforting and dickering among the
members and candidates. situa-
ton has simply settled into an appar
emily hopeless deadlock.

yesterday showed no change in the
situation. Except for the absence at
