INSURGENTS MAY .OR MAY NOT RETURN They Are Undecided Which
 Course to Take VERTREES' OPINION Is Cause of Considerable Interest in FusiOnist Camp-Plans Are Be-
 ing Made to Combat
 Coercion
VERTREES' OPINION

The insurgents of the Tennessee legis- ature may or may not return to their native state toward the end of this week. It will depend on developments as yet unknown.
 The legislators are absolutely certain that they will not go back home until after the general election board of the state has appointed the county election commissioners, insurlng them of their present political status. The election board starts work on Tuesday. but the Alabama division, wishing to give them ample time, think rot of going home be- fore Thursday.
 In the local ranks everything is appar- ently as quiet as could be expected. It is true that the solons were caused to hold some discussion yesterday over the published opinion of Col. John J. Ver- trees with reference to the constitution al power of the legislature to continue Tn session for the remainder of the two years.
 It was held by this prominent attorney of Tennessee that the legislature could continue in session until November. 1912 and that 1t could be adjourned only by consent of both houses represented by quorum in each. It was his opinion that the body could be adjourned from day to day by number less than two, and that the governor cannot convene an extra session of the legislature so long as 1t Is legally in it's regular session.
 Ut results that you are masters of the situation,' runs the report of the attor- ney to the regulars, If you maintain your present attitude and position" In his opinion, Colonel Vertrees cites a. pas sage from the constitution which empow- CTS the house, though lacking a quorum, first, to adjourn from day today, and sec ond, to compel the attendance of absent members by such manner as may be pre- scribed by law.
 The insurgents were concerned mainly yesterday with the opinion of Colonel Vertrees as regards his citation to the passage of the constitution by which he thinks they can be compelled to return. The solons stated last night that it was their opinion that they could not be com pelled to return to the sessions of the legislature, inasmuch as the per diem time had expired and they could not be forced to work for nothing. The limit of 75 days per diem was ordered so as to avoid unnecessary deliberation.
 If they should return to Tennessee next week and an attempt be made to have them arrested and brought back into the sessions of the legislature, they would swear out warrants for assault and bat tery against the parties experiencing them and have their friends secure writs of habeas corpus for them. They are de- vising all kinds of methods to combat the maneuvers of the regulars in case they should decide to return after next Thursday, but it is more than likely that they will not return
