UP FUR FINAL DECISION
>lL OTHER BUSINESS MUST
 AWAIT ITS SETTLEMENT
rfty Members of Body Are Ready to vote to Dust Illinois "Boss"-Lit.
 tie Chance to Retain Seat.

Washington, July 8.-When prayer was over and routine business had been disposed of in the senate, Will liam Lorimer of Illinois again faced a battle over his right to a seat as sen ator The senate voted, 46 to 40. March l. 1911, to retain him as a member. Defeat now would mean that, in the judgment of majority of senators, the blond boss" acquired his seat in the senate by corrupt methods and practices"
 The senate decided, June s, 1912. to take up the reports of the Lorimer investigating committee on the legis- lative day of July 6. A legislative day in senatorial fiction may run for any number of calendar days. but un- til the final vote that will decide the fate of Lorimer is t5rl no other question can be tGlea the sen ate
 Great Chang e.
 Great changes | place in the membership ot lte since Lorimer won his fight .a -311. Many of the standpatters, from whom his strength mainly was recruited, have been retired to private life They have been succeeded by younger senators, to whom senatorial courtesy" is not a fetish.
 Polls taken and generally accepted as being accurate hold no hope for Lorimer. That view was so strong that Vice-President Sherman made a special trip to Chicago several months ago to advise Lorimer to resign The arguments in favor of his retirement were that he could avert what ap- peared to be certain defeat, and. more over, save his senatorial friends em- barrassment by not requiring them to line up for him again. Many of the senators who voted for Lorimer in 1911 were retired mainly because of that vote.
 Polls recently taken show not less than 50 senators will vote against the blond boss" and not more than 40 in his favor A majority in the senate is 4S.
 Vote Next Week, Perhaps.
 There is no possible gauge by which the time of the final vote may be ap- proximated. Several senators said that it might come next week, but the general impression was that it would be much later
 Lorimer was elected senator on May 26, 1909, following a long deadlock in the Illinois legislature. A coalition of Republican and Democratic forces ac- complished his election A year later several members of that legislature signed confessions alleging that they had been paid for their votes. Later charges revealed "slush fund" to put Lorimer over," to which big cor porations were invited to contribute In all the various investigations to date, Lorimerites have vigorously de- nied any corrupt practices in the sen- atorial deadlock

and the polling of a larger major ity for the Democratic ticket than has ever been known.
 The Democrats are united. AL thoug standing by Champ Clark to the last, they have followed the leadership of their choice and declared their unfaltering fealty to the distinguished Princeton, ian statesman. As the sting of disappointment is dulled, they realize that the convention pur- sued the wiseSt course. and that with such leader ..as Woodrow Wilson, party success is certain in November. There has been from the first a large and loyal element of Arkansas Democracy favorable to Wilson, and to these must now be added all those who favored Clark, and Underwood and Harmon. Wilson's success has also strengthened the love that Bryan's friends have always felt for the great NebraSkan, the man who single. handed controll- ed the convention although there are many representative Dem ocrats, like Senator Clarke, who condemn Bryan as roundly as did Stanchfeld of New York. This does not, however, render less indisputable that Bryan re, mains the popular idol, and that Woodrow Wilson promises to be come a close second
 The election of Wilson, which Arkansas Democrats do not doubt will mean a great deal for the state. His mana CT w. F. Me Combs, formerly of Hamburg, Ark, a cousin of George B. Pugh of Little Rock, feels very grate ful to the coterie of earnest Will son men. That the Arkansas delegation feels most kindly to. ward him is shown by the fact that their Is votes were first cast for him for the Nice-Presidential nomination.
 Democratic victory in Novem- Der, which seems inevitable on the Progressive wave, with Roosevelt and Taft dividing the electoral vote in the republican states, will mean thorough cleaning of the federal service in the state. Again will be heard that old, time slogan of the first Cleveland administration, Turn the rascals out" also that other accepted political dogma that ITO the victors belong the spells. Imaginative persons may already, in fact, be parcel ing out the postoffices, and dis trict -attorneyships, and other positions which have been yield ing the Republicans half a million dollars year. But first, elect Wilson. and then talk about tie division of the spells, is the pre- vailinc sentiment.

Isn't Awake to Importance
of the Matter.
SEEKING MISSING $7,100
Austrian Officials Believe Law

Name-Will Hear
ing First.

With the Orange County authorities pre-
pairing to push the charges against Bur
ton w. Gibson of numbering Mrs. Rosa
Szabo, his client. the attorneys for the
Austrian consulate in this city were
showing even greater activity yesterday
In their determination to have him ousted
as executor of her estate.
we do not intend to let this matter be
delayed more than necessary by the muir
der case" said Arpad Kremer, who is
representing the Austrian Consul General.
Gibson has been ordered to appear be-
fore the Surrogate on September II to
show cause why he should not be re-
moved az executor Of Mrs Szabo's estate
and DR.. Ffscherauer be appointed In his
place. We shall be ready TO go ahead on
that date, and Gibson does not have TO
appeor in person. He can appear by coun-
sci We have accumulated much valuable
new material TO use against him."
Although the primary interest OF the
Austrian Consulate is IN the matter
OF the will and the dead woman's es-
tate. ii Is understood that Ernest kirch-
knopf. the acting consul general, is
watching closely the way in which the
murder charge IS being pushed against
Gibson by the Middletown authorities
and that lie is determined that every ef-
fort shall be made 10 see Justice done in
the investigation into Mrs. Szabo's death
as an Austrian subject.
