MAY BE ENTERING WEDGE
Hopkins Supporter Breaks Away From
Primary Candidate.

Springfield, H., Feb. 19.-For the
first time in many days excitement
was injected into the deadlock on the
vote for United States senator in the
general assembly by Representative
John l.. Flannigen of East ST Louis,
who, in explaining his vote, which he
shifted from Hopkins to Shurtleff, de-
clared it his belief that no man now in
the race could be elected.
The action of Flannigen was regard
ed as indicative of a coming shift by
the other Southern Illinois men and
may be the entering wedge which
will result in dark horse capturing
the toga.
After the close of the session legis-
iators commented on the announce
ment of Mr.. Flannigen and recalled
that he had nominated Senator Hop
kins on the floor of the house. The
opposition to Senator Hopkins was
quick to assert that the shift of Flan-
nigen could be regarded as a with
drawal of the candidacy of the man
whom he had nominated The Hop
kins men were apparently undisturbed
by the desertion and were firm as
ever in their declaration of ultimate
victory

Washington, Feb. 19.-When the
house met Mr.. Dalzell, from the com

joint resolution presented by Mr.. Taw-

on the legislative, executive and ju-

provision making an appropriation of
$4,000 for the salary of the secretary
of state during the next fiscal year as
if the two houses had disagreed on it.
There was an effort to Immediately
order the previous question, but this
was met by an objection from the
Democrats. A roll call was ordered
and resulted 157 yeas and 107 nays.
Consequently the previous question
was ordered.
After debate the resolution was
adopted, 1S2 to 1876, and now goes to
the senate for concurrence.
If it is adopted the conferees will
take up the salary question as If there
had been a disagreement of the two
houses. The houses conferees are

HATTON ON THE STAND

One of the "AIsoe Rams" in Primary
Contest Does Not Believe a Nom.
ination Secured by Excessive Use
of Cash Should Be Binding, but He
Refuses to Define His Meaning of
Excessive"
Madison, Wis.,, Feb. 19.-The ques-
ton of campaign expenditures was
the basis of the continued examina-
ton of w. HI. Hattan, one of the four
Republican candidates for United
States senator, before the legislative
primary investigating committee. He
was asked to define excessive" ex-
penditures, but declined to fix any
certain amount as being excessive.
He condemned the spending of an un-
reasonable amount of money in a
campaign for a nomination and did
not believe nomination obtained
through unreasonable spending of
money should be binding. He side
stepped the question as to whether
the expenditure of 100000 to 100000
was excessive, saying he was not
there to approve or condemn the ac-
tions of his rivals.
The thirteenth ballot for United
States senator by the joint conven-
tion of the legislature showed no
choice. Senator Stephenson received
81 out of 130 votes cast, still lacking
five of a majority
Senator Morris asked Mr.. Hatton If
he considered a man who had been
guilty of a deliberate act of fraud fit
for the United States senatorship. Mr..
Hatton replied that it would seem
hardly necessary to ask such ques-
ton when the intelligent constituency
