 Becker was brought here from New York immediately after sentence was pronounced upon him by Justice Golf
 Wednesday. Becker's execution will
 be stayed, however, by the filing in
 the interim of notice of appeal from
 the verdict. In this lies Becker's only
 hope of escape from death. His last

 Becker, manacled to a deputy sher- iff, arrived at the prison, after a 20- , minute walk through the streets of the village, surrounded by several hundred persons curious to see him. The convicted mans wife, who had accompanied him from New York and had driven ahead of him from the railroad station, witnessed his en- trance into the prison.
 An hour later, after the formality of taking the prisoners pedigree had been disposed of, Becker was in his death cell in solitary confinement, clad
 in prison garb. Ten other condemned
 murderers occupy cells in the death house" with him.

The Prescott daily news., 1912-11-01

lected by the committee November l2 at the Auditorium hotel, Chicago A call for the meeting and a state ment concerning the death of Vice President sherman as it affects the Republican ticket was given out by Chairman Hilles. The statement fol- lows:
 "The national convention which met in Chicago in June delegated to the national committee power to fill va cancies on the national ticket. The death of Mir. Sherman, candidate of the Republican party for vice-presi- dent at the coming election, makes it incumbent upon the national commit tee to nominate candidate in his place. The nomination, however, can not be made prior to the election next Tuesday
 Such a nomination can properly be made only after due and reasonable notice to all the members of the com mittee. Such notice cannot be given in less than six days. It is, therefore, manifestly impossible to hold such a meeting prior to the election.
 Meantime no difficulty or incon- venience arises to the voters at the election next Tuesday, because the votes to be cast then are for electors and not for candidates for either pres ident or vice-president, and the death of MT. Sherman, therefore, does not affect the validity of the election of the electors.
 T have called a meeting of the na- tional committee to meet upon the 18th day of November, in the city of Chicago, at the Auditorium hotel. at 12 o'clock, noon, to select a successor to the late James s. sherman, as can didate of the Republican party for vice-president of the United States"

SUCCESSOR ID SHERMAN
HADLEY OF MISSOURI ONE OF
 THREE MENTIONED.
Names of Senator Borah and Cum
 mins Also Heard at National Headquarters.

New York, Nov. At national Re publican headquarters members of lhe inner council said Vice-President Sherman's successor on the ticket un- doubtedly would be a man of pro gressive tendencies" The following three names were mentioned:
 Gov. Hadley of Missouri
 Senator Borah of Idaho.
 Senator Cummins of Iowa.
 In case of a deadlock in the elec- toral college, it was explained, the election would go to the house. and then, in the event of a deadlock there, which seems likely, it would go to the senate. It would devolve upon the senate to elect one of the vice presidential candidates to the vice. presidency. It is well known that the election in that event would turn on the votes of the Progressive senators, which makes necessary the selection of man of Progressive tendencies as Sherman's successor.
 A successor to Sherman will be se-
