HUNTERCRIESFRAUD
IN the Role Of Baby Act Claims
Election a Fraud in Effort to
Defeat Statehood.

oklahoma City, Sept. 25. "A careful
analysis Of the vote IN the recent cleo
ton shows now utterly absurd Is the
claim Of Chairman Hunter that he
will contest the election Of Haskell,
because of alleged frauds in Indian
Territory. With complete returns
from seventy-five counties majority
Of 20, ,974 Is shown for the democratic
nominee. OF this majority over $4,000
is from Oklahoma counties. Frantz
has only an aggregate majority Of 1880
in all Of the counties he has carried in
both territories. If Hunter should
contest the election In every demo-
cratic county in Indian Territory and
succeed in having these counties
thrown out, Haskell would still have
a clear majority OF over 1000 over the
republican candidate. Hunter declares
that there was nothing fraudulent on
the Oklahoma side. How then can
he hope to accomplish anything by
putting up such baby cry Of fraud2
Stripped Of all pretense, Hunter and
Erantz must now come out in the
open and admit that their only rea-
son for bringing contest proceedings
is to delay or defeat statehood. Hun
ter privately admits that this is his
only object in filing the charges Of
fraud.

HALT IN THE
HAYWOOD TRIAL
Court AdjOuTRS to Attend a
Funeral Still Trying
For a Jury

BY Our Own Wlsc. Publishers Press.
BOISE, lda May l6.-Developments
in the Haywood trial are revelations
Of the mistake on the part of the
highly paid counsel on both sides.
Richardson, for instance, bowled out a
man who would absolutely have hung
the jury because he would not have
believed Orchards testimony while
Borah, in insisting on dragging social
ism into the case, succeeded in elimi-
mating a man who was absolutely
prejudiced against Haywood. Both
sides are now engaged in lodging The
necessity for peremptory challenges.
This labor will be slow and tedious.
The real developments of Wednesday,
outside of the lawyers blunders, was
the disclosure that the prosecution
erred in not making a critical examna-
tion of jurors and the peculiar ruliug
of Judge Wood on Orchards evidence.
The defense objected to any reference
in examining jurors relative to Or
chard, claiming if any one witness was
singled out for reliability an should be.
Judge Wood ruled to permit the or
chard questions. This raises a new
point, and the defense's objections like
ly will be upheld, if necessary to take
an appeal.
At . o'clock this afternoon the ex-
animation will proceed. the morn 7g
session having adjourned out Of respect
for the memory of Howard Nugnt,
father of J. f. Nugent, one Of Hay
woods counsel whose funeral occurred
at 10 o'clock. and was attended by n
committee appointed by Judge Wood IN
open court.
There is still every reason to hope
that a jury win have been selected be-.
fore court adjourns on Saturday after
noon.
Clarence Darrow, who examined
George T. Nav. announced that he haG
finished with him. but would not pass
him for cause until to-day. A majority
