cal men who are interested in military
tracts and the gentle art of war are
today beginning active steps to secure

The interest in military maneuvers
is especially active at this time over
the state owing to the fact that there
now seems to be strong probability
OF trouble with Mexico unless present

that, if trouble does arise, the troops

Governor Issues Call This
Afternoon for Capital
Action
Special By United press.

Special by United Press.
Oklahoma City, Okla, Nov. 1e.-cov-
ernor Charles N. Haskell today, for the
frs. time since June II last, recog-
nzed Guthrie as the capital of okla
homa when, accompanied by 0. r.
Smith, his private special attorney, w.
8. Anthony, private secretary to the
9overonr, and Judge w. A. Ledbetter,
he wens to that place by automobile to
issue a call for a special session Of the
state legislature to take acAon on the
question Of the location Of the state
capital following along the lines Of khe
initiated bill adopted by the people in
the special election Of the eleventh day
Of June.
Dispatches received by the United
Press from Guthrie announce that the
governor and his party reached that
city shortly after noon and, at
O'clock, issued a formal call for the
Legislature to neet.
Monday, November %, is the date
fixed for the legislature to convene.
The call desienates Oklahoma City
as the place of meeting.
The designation of Oklahoma City as
he palce Of meeting came as sur
prise to the people Or Guthrie who be-
lieyed that, since the governor, BY GO
ing to that place to issue the call,
recognized that place as the present
capital. But Governor Haskell, to a
representative Of the United Press
this afternoon, explained that the con
stitution of the state provides that the
sitiings Of the legislature may be held
at any place designated.
Will Be New Legislature.
1t will be the newly elected members
of the legislature which wilt assemble
for the special session since the term
of office of the old legislature ended
yesterday, November 1S.
It is probable that the action Of the
special legislature will merely make
valid the bill as voted upon by the
people in the special election of June
II since it was only technical error
which caused the initiated bill to fail
of becoming law. BY an overwhelming
majority the people Of the state ac-
cepted the bill and selected Oklahoma
City as the permanent capital. But the

and Oklahoma, which are strongly
democratic, substantial increases in
their delegations in the house.
Some Possible Increases.
Thus far the census bureau has
made public the complete population
returns from only eleven Of the forty
six states. They are Alabama, Della
ware. Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Massa-
chusetts, Maine. Michigan, Missouri
Rhode Island and Vermont. If we sup
pose that the new apportionment act
makes only a slight increase in the
basis Of representation, say, ffom
$4,000 to 100000 then Alabama will
have to be given eleven instead Of its
nine representatives, Florida four in
stead of three, Indiana fourteen in
stead of thirteen, Iowa will get no
increase over its present eleven
members, Massachusetts will get sew
enteen instead Of fourteen, Maine will
stand pat with four, Michigan viii get
fifteen instead Of twelve, Missouri will
remain stationary with sixteen, Rhode
Island will get three instead of two
and Vermont will hold its present rep
resentation of two. Delaware will, of
course, under the constitution hold on
to IT'S single representative regardless
Of its population.
100000 Probable Basis.
But if, in order to keep the total
membership of the house down to ap.
proximately it, present size, the repub-
licans determine to increase the basis
Of representation to 100000, a figure
which seems to be much favored, then
Iowa, Maine. Indiana and Missouri
would each lose one member Ala

would gain one, while Florida, Della
