votes In the national convention. The

Fourth district. one OF the San Francisco
districts. are Morris Meyerfeld. Jr.. and
T. II. Tyron. s. Fred Hogue OF San
Francisco will appear before the contest
committee in Chicago June In the con-
test for seats, basing his claims on the
following convention rule of the Repub-

I'm no state shall an election be so
held as TO prevent the delegates from
any congressional district and their al
ternates being selected by the Republic
an electors OF that district"
The California law provides that all
delegates. including those at large, shall
be elected by the party electors of the.
state at large. and conforms with the
national convention rules In that IL pro-
Vjdes thai district delegates must be Sc
lected. or nominated, from the districts
which they arc to represent In the con-
vention. Taft supporters declare that
the clash between the primary law and
the convention rules should be determined
by the latter. since the rules were made
two weeks before the law was enacted
by the California Legislature.

Gov. Deneen Calls Special Session of
Legislature.

CHICAGO. March 25.-Gov Deneen to-
day called the state Legislature in special
session to pass preferential presidential
primary act to be effective for the state
primary April 9.
Some time ago the governor announced
that if two-thrds of the members Of the
legislature would agree to pass an eff
fective presidential preference primary
act he would issue the call. The neces-
sary number s.gnified their readiness to
vote in favor of such a bill today and
the call was Immediately issued.
The convening of the special session is
set for tomorrow at Springfield and two
bills, one for presentation in the senate
and the other to be introduced in the low
er house, already have been prepared.
AS an emergency measure to go into
immediate effect the bill would require
the affirmative vote OF two-thirds OF the
legisla tors to place 1t on the statute
books.

SPANISH PRETENDER DEAD
J. 5. de Montmollin of Georgia Had

MACON. Ca, March 25-The death of
'ohh > de Md;tmollin. a Confederate
veteran, mere on Saturday. has brought
10 IGht documents that claimed to show
re was heir to the throne OF Spain. The
Papers, which were secreted in De Mont
moihns S houseboat on the Ocmulgee river.

Ter that at one time the then head of

y AmeTican claimant.
De Montmoilin said that ne should have

The documents show several communi-
ations from Alfonso XIII in relation TO
the claim. They also show an offer of a
large sum Of money from Gen. Weyler to
head a filibustering expedition from Cuba

the offer.

BR|ST0W PLANS To PUSH
DISTRICT PRIMARY BILL
Will Try to Have 1t Considered
in the Senate Early
Next Week.

Senator Brstow of Kansas will make
an effort to get his bill for presidential
preference primaries in the District of
Columbia considered and, if possible, act
ed upon early next week. He announced
today that he intends to push il at every
opportunity. He expects little oppor-
tunity this week because of the agree
ments that the Senate shall vote on the
Stephenson case on the legislative day of
today and on the Sherwood pension bill
on the legislative day of Thursday. The
debate on both is expected to consume
practically all of the week
Senator Bristow is anxious TO get a
roll call on the measure in the Senate.
This may come on a motion to proceed to
the consideration of the mea sure, for in
the general Interpretation a vote against
consideration is vote against the meas
ure and vote for consdera ton is vote
for the measure.
Such vote would show the strength
that could be gathered for the bill in the
Senate, and would give line on its uI-
innate fate. Although Senator Bristow
is hopeful that a majority In the Sen
ate will vote for the bill and it will
therefore be passed, he admits that the
adverse report of the Senate District
committee is a handicap.
To overcome that, he has hopes that
the bill will get through the House at an
early day, for it has been introduced in
the lower House by Representative Nor
ris and is being strongly advocated. If
the House passes it. Senator Bristow
would move to substitute the bill with
the prestige of favorable House action
for the Senate bill, with the handicap of
an adverse committee report. on the Sem
ate calendar.
The bill calls for primaries for the cleo
ton of delegates to the national conven-
ton in April; and unless the bill is pass
ed promptly. it would have no effect, so
for as the coming presidential election is
concerned.
