The Murphy -Haugen Contest.

The attorneys of d. d. Murphy.
Frank A. O'Connor of New Hampton
and Judge Wade of Iowa City, and Of
G. N. Haugen, John w. Sanduskv Of
New Hampton, have returned from
Washington, d. c., and all now may
rest assured that the congressional
contest will not be decided until next
December, when congress meets in
regular session.
The committee on elections will.
under no circumstances, take up the
matter at the present special session.
1t was the purpose of the attorneys
Of Mr.. Murphy to count the ballots
with Mr.. Haugen's attorney now and
have an abstract of the ballots they
could agree upon and those they could
not agree upon ready for the elections
committee at the opening of the regu-
lar session. Mr.. Sandusky, Mr.. Haug-
ems attorney, would not agree to such
4 count. He cannot be forced to such
count until the elections committee
meets regularly and orders it.
The statute provides that the testi-
mony shall he printed. The attorneys,
while in Washington, met with the
clerk of the House of Representatives
and agreed on such portions of the
testimony taken il the various counties
of the district as shall be printed and
the copy now is in the hands of the
government printer and will be ready
in about three weeks. After it is
ready the attorneys will prepare their
briefs and in the winter, as soon as
congi ess convenes in the regular
session, they will return and count the
ballots.
The whole record will be submitted
to the elections committee, which will
then make report to the House of
Representatives, recommending that
Mr.. Haugen be retained in his seat or
that Mr.. Murphy be seated. The
whole house will vote on this report
and on this vote will rest the outcome
of the congressional contest. .-Decorah
