ALASKA MUDDLE
 IN WASHINGTON
(sy United Press.)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Alaskaas here expect something to drop within the next few days. The members of congress supporting Alaskan Judges Reid and Gunnison now claim that the opposition of Governor Hoggatt is based upon his failure to use those judges to further his own political combinations in Alaska,
 The committee now here from Ju, neau. Alaska, protesting before the senate subcommittee against the con, tirmation of Judge Gunnison, are both democrats. One is a banker, soon to locate at Cordova, the Guggenheim stronghold in Alaska, and the other members of the committee was an at, torney for the Guggenheims in the
 
 sensational Hasey case. Both are friends of Governor Hoggatt.
 This has developed a rupture in the committee which will result in the Reid and Gunnison delegation openly supporting wickersham against Gov ernor Hoggatt.
 Alaskans here freely predict that Governor Hoggatt will in the end lose out with the administration and the nght now on will result in the strengthening Of Delegate Wicker sham.
