UNITED Press Leased Wire Servioe.1
WASHINGTON, July 18.-A little

scare that an attempt had been made
on President Taft's life through an

walked into the press room of the

query:
Did you get that Internal machine
story?"
The reporter said be did not and the
hoax manufacturer told him re-
markable yarn, with all the pictures

reporter got 80 visibly excited, they
told him 1t was joke.
But the report that such an attempt
had actually been made nevertheless

with what seemed to be the myster-

OF evading the issue, led number OF

sorts OF wild rumors cropped up. One
story had it that it wasn't an ex-

SPECIAL SESSION
TO CHOOSE SENATOR
Governor Deneen Cannot Name Man
to Take the Place Of
Lorimer.

limited Press Leased Wire Service
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, July 1S.--An-
other special session of the general
assembly, called for the purpose Of
electing senator to succeed VIM.
LoEinrer, was admitted today to be
one of the possibilities as the result
of the opinion of Attorney General
Stead last night that Governor De-
neen has no power to name a sue
cessor.
It is declared to be practically GER
tain that the governor would call the
assembly together, If he is assured
by the republican members that they
will go into caucus and abide by eau
Gus rule. He will call them here un-
der no other arrangement, for it
would be impossible for them to agree
otherwise.
The special session would remove
the danger of a conflict in the next
regular session because of the neces-
sity of electing both a successor to
I1orimer and Senator Cullom. Anti.
Lorimer men fear that Lorimsr may
| use the election Of the successor to
Cullom to force the selection Of his
own candidate to succeed himself.
/ L. Y. Sherman, the primary nomi
nee to succeed Cullom, is said to favor
the special session.
Stead in his opinion, sent to the
governor last night, holds that the
Lorimer case is similar to the Mantle
and Quay cases, in which the senate
held the executive of the state coult
not appoint successor under the
constitution because. the legislature
had failed to act when properly or
ganized.
