The impress sion is general among the friends of the Governor that he will issue the call in the next two or three days and in- asrnuch as he starts out today on a trip that will keep him away from the city for several days it is thought that possibly he will dispose of the matter before he leaves the city, althonGh Ae has not announced his purpose in the matter.
 As soon as the call for the special election Is issued Chairman ". A. Henderson will issue a call for an iri- mediate meeting of the Congressional Committee of the Second District. It IS possible that this meeting will ke nsla before the cad Of the week When the oommittee ssssmbles the will be whether the nomination will he made by 2 primary or a cpnvfntien. 1t IS practically certain that a primary will be called. Still 1t is in the power of the committee to call a convention. IT II wanted to do 1t. Several sugges- tions nave been made as to eonren- tion and the favor with wAieh they nave met is surprising In view Of fha
