END OF COLBY
AND FORT ROOMS
seen IN DEFEAT
Knockout for New Idea to Figure
in u. S. Senate Selection
and Governorship.
POLITICIANS BELIEVE
THEY WON'T GET A SHOW
Vanquished Senator's Chances
Had Been Considered Good as
GubernatOriaI Nominee.

The defeat of Everett Colby for
State Senator assumed great fWraen-
sions today when the possibilities wera
surveyed, than VIXEN the result was
first known Briefly. Colby's defeat is
taken by politicians to mean the blast
ing of whatever hopes Governor Fort
had of being elected to the United
States Senate two years hence, the
killing of the Colby boomlet for Gov
ernor and a complete switching in the
management Of the affairs of the State
Legislature.
Also, the New Idea wing of the Re-
publican party seems to have receiv d
a solar plexus blow. The New Idealtes
of which Colby was the father al
NIT receiving the blow. but point to
the regular organization as the party
delivering it
They assert that they, with Colby
and Candidate Mol gan, for sheriff, We're
victims of treachely, that the r gulars
traded Coby ana Morgan votes for
Taft and the Bead of Works-pr. n
cipally the Board Of Works.
This is disproved, however, by the
vote for city home trustee. This vote
in the city was; Republican, 31,131, and
Democratic 22,56S. Taft's vote in the
city was 31,931 and Bryan's Il, ,731, only
about 800 below the CITY Home vote.
Hahn's vote for Board of Works was
24,2S9 and Budd's 29,4S5.
As matter of fact the Regulars in
the county are said to have realized
that if the Republican organization
was to continue as a party organiza-
'tion and not as an adjunct to the Re-
publican League, Colby would have to
be defeated, even at the cost of EJECT
ing a Democratic Senator. This feel
ing was general, but it could not be
said to have crystallized into an Or
ganized effort. 1t was the feeling of
individuals loyal to the Regulars or
ganization.
Regulars felt no conjunction about
slashing Colby, Morgan and Assembly,
man Martin, because they had done
the same thing before and were only
getting a dose of their own medicine.
If Colby had been reelected to the
Senate it was generally believed he
would seek to be the Republican nemi-

ernor Fort is anxious to go to the
United States Senate.
The knockdown to Colby reflects on
the Governor, who has been friendly
with the New Idea, and has lost there
by his friendship with the Regulars,
though they would not be surprised to
see him attempt to regain his touch
with them
The Governor has been building up
machine through his appointments. it
has been said, that he hoped would
carry him to Washington. but there
are at least three Regulars-and prob
ably four--who want to succeed Sem
ator Kean. One is senator Kean him
self, another is former Governor Frank
lin Murphy, of this city, whose pres
tige with the national administration
and with President-elect Taft has been
enhanced by the result of Tuesday In
this State, and third is former Gov
ernor Edward c. Stokes.

ACCUSED FORMER CONSUL
TO PAY WOMAN'S CLAIM.
Lieberknecht Ready to Settle
with Mrs. Heine.

Former Judge Elwood C. Harris,
counsel for August Lieberknecht, for
mer American consul to Zurich,
Switzerland, who is charged with mis-
appropriating funds of Mrs. Henrietta
l.. Heine of New York. appeared be-
fore Acting Judge Fleeland in the First
Precinct Court today and said that his
client was ready to hand over the
money in question as soon as the for
mer consul could be satisfied that in
doing so he would sever all RESPONSE
bility from heirs contesting the will
from which Mrs. Heine expects to de-
rive $4,000
Mr.. LieberSnecht is now in Illinois
and Mr. Harris said that the former
consul had given him authority to settle
providing Mrs. Heine can deliver a
quit claim which will protect his client.
Mrs Heine was left money in Zurich,
and Mr.. Lieberkneeht, then the Ameri-
can consul to Zurich, was empowered
to collect the cash for the sale of GER
tain lands, and this money Mrs. Heine
accuses him of Withholding.

Oficial application for aldermanic re-
counts in the Sixth and Fourteenth
wards will be filed shortly by the Re-
publican candidates for the council who
on the face of the unofficials returns
were defeated by the Democrats by
small majorities, and # one of the Re-
publicans wins out in the recount the
Common Council will be Republican.
If things remain as they are, there will
be tie, sixteen to sixteen. and the Re-
publican financial officers of the city
will remain in office.
In the Sixth ward Schaaf, the Re-
publican aldermanic candidate, was
beaten, according to returns, by ma
jority of 27, by Alderman Frederick
Aide, nan Bray beat his Republican op-
ponent, Linenkohl, by nine votes.
All the official returns were not made
to the city clerks office according to
law, this being due to election Of
ficers in some cases mailing the re-
turns to the Secretary of State, and
others locking the returns in the bal
lot boxes, where they will remain until
they are secured by application. Others
failed to send fvturns anywhere, and d
force of messengers from the city
clerks office is looking for them.
A tie in Common Council would mean
that City Tax Receiver Robert L. Ross,
City Auditor George Forman, and City
Treasurer Albert L. Guenther would
remain In office because of the dead

Under the provisions of chapter 2S3
of the laws of 1907, known as the ripper
act, all members of boards or commits
sions appointed by the Mayor retire
at the expiration of the Mayors term.
The Fire Board, Police Commission,
City Tax Board, Assessment Board,
Public Library trustees, Shade Tree
Commission, Board of Health and the
city auditor go out of commission at
the expiration Of the present term of
Mayor Haussling, and he will present
new names for ratification by the Com
mon Council.
confirmation would be held up by that
body, and during the deadlock the city
would be without a Board of Health,
Police or Fire boards or Shade Tree
Commission, but the auditor would re-
main in Office until his successor was
appointed.
In Till New Council Takes Hold.
The city treasurer and city tax re-
ceiver are appointed by vote of the
Common Council, and the present hold
ers of the office will remain despite
the fact that their terms expire this
year. until the deadlock in the Council
is broken, or until the next Council
comes in.
The Mayor has the right to appoint
the police judges, assessment commits
sioners and the members of the law
department without confirmation by the
Common Council.
The Democrats have all to loose If
the recount, if allowed, goes against
them.

STILL IN DOUBT
Maryland Is Also Wavering-G.
o. P. Has Lead of Only
Few Votes.

With Missouri and Maryland still
hanging in the balance, Taft is assured
of 301 votes in the electoral college,
with excellent chances of rolling up 321
before the counting is over.
In the two doubtful States Taft was
leading why few scores of votes. A
majority for either candidate in one
precinct can change the whole electoral
vote of the State.
The Republican Missouri lead is less
than 100. Hadley. the candidate for
governor, has swept the State, and it is
believed that he will carry Taft in with
him. The counties yet to be heard
from are in the Ozark region, where
the vote is normally Republican. Mis-
souri, has Is electoral votes.
In Maryland the situation is prac-
tically the same.
Returns from other States show no
change. In Ohio, Harmon, Democrat,
has been elected governor, despite the
enormous plurality for Taft.

FUTURE ACTION UNDECIDED
GOVERNMENT COURSE IN THE
STANDARD OIL CASE.
Appeal to the Supreme Court May
Not Be Taken-Writ Of Certiorari
May Be Sought.

In reference to Attorney General Bona
parties statement at Lenox, Mass. that
an appeal cannot be taken to the Supreme
Court of the United States from the de-
cision of the United States circuit court
of appeals in Chicago. in theStan dard
Oil case, 1t was state at the Department
of Justice today that no appeal lies under
the present law to the Supreme Court
from a final judgment of the circuit of
appeals in criminal case as matter of
right. The government, however. has a
right to present to the Supreme Court an
application for a writ Of certiorari in
cases of this character, and, indeed, in all
criminal cases.
1t is in the discretion of the court, how
ever, whether a writ of that character
prayed for should be granted.
1t is recalled that the Supreme Court
has in a large number of cases denied
such applications, but exceptions have re-
Gently been made to this rule. and the
Department of Justice officials are en-
couraged to believe that because of the
very great Importance of this case and
the public interest in it. the coulrt would
probably grant the application.
In the last few years the Attorneys
General have asked Congress to enact
legislation giving the government a right
of appeal in criminal cases on questions
of law where there has not been a verdict
of acquittal by a jury, and where. In the
opinion of the Attorney eneral, the ends
OF justGice demand a review by the court
of last resort. Several bills were intro
duced In Congress at the last session hav-
ing this end in view, but they failed of
enactment.
Up to this time no decision has been
reached by the government as to whether
the Standard Oil case will be taken to
Judge Lands court for rehearing. or an
application made to the Supreme Court
for certiorari. but 1t is understood to be
the purpose of the officials to act very
promptly in this matter.
