The interest In Birmingham in the excise commissionership rose to fever heat last night following day charged with interesting developments in the appointment campaign. To begin with Commissioner A.

 the Exchange hotel for lunch and for the beginning of his all day siege. Immediately upon arriving at the hotel the lobby swarmed with various Birming- ham delegations which have been camp ing in the city since Wednesday night, patiently awaiting the arrival of the governor. These delegations, determined to see the chief executive in the interest of the excise commission pums, deter mined from the moment of their arrival to await the governors coming, despite various conflicting srumors as to5the time of his return. His incoming this morn- ing, as consequence, found the dele gations seething, the political cauldron fairly simmering with excitement First one of the visitors grabbed coat sleeve and then another, until the woolen gar meit, had it been made of coarser fabric would have been mass of shreds.
 Arranges for Loan
 Between breathing spells the governor explained that he left New York on Wednesday night, after having arranged to borrow $100,000 for the state at any moment when it might be needed. 1n- terest on this sum is not to begin until the principal IS secured.
 As for his trip to the east, the gov ernor fairly glowed in his accounts. He said it was great.
 Conflicting rumors which spread as to the time of the governors return were accounted for by the fact that the report of his return to Alabama should have read that he intended leaving New York on Wedne sday night, rather than to read that he intended reaching Montgomery by that time.
 A matter that Is of pressing interest outside of the Birmingham plums, and that is causing the governor some little worry, is the city commissionerships of Hartselle, in Morgan county. Several weeks ago the appointments were made by the chief executive, but almost .mme- diately thereafter they were suspended. The cause of the suspension has not been made known. State Senator Sherrod, close friend of the governor, is here in the interest of the situation.
