Want Agitation to

Crown Point, Ind. Sept s. The
county commissioners have not inti-
mated what will be their decision in
the Hobart annexation matter. 1t was
reported yesterday that one of them
made the remark that the decision of
the board would not be made until the
present agitation in Hobart quieted
down.
This is taken to mean that the de-
cision will be adverse to the wishes OF
the people of Hobart. This is assumed
on account of the fact that most of the
agitation has been on the part of the
Hobart people in favor of annexation.
