A. h. Fall stlll leading, although he
received three less votes than on yes
terday's Joint ballot, the fourth joint
ballot FOR United Stares senators was
iaken at noon today IN the hall oi the
house of representatives.. The Demo-
cratic votes az a result OF a confer
cnce last night were lined np to a
man for Martinez and i.aughlin. The
Republican votes were worse scatter
ed than AT any time In the past aud
present a complete enigma as 10 the
eituatiOn.
II Is apparent today that the An.
drews-FaliEatron and Mills forces are
doing some strenuous maneuyering
Mills has maintained "A relative
strength from the hIst ballot which h
added and sibtFacted on the Fall-Cat-
ron and scattered votes. Catron

formerly voted for Fali. while AM

decisive vote viii be taken. some
say 81 win be several days yet, while
others declare the present deadlock
may last for 80 days Il is said here
openly that II. q. Bursum on behalf
ol the Andrews forces. being unable
20 land enough votes 90 elect Andrews
Is scientifically shifting the Andrews
forces here ana there, completely
blOCking the election OF any one Clse,
ON the other nand II Is said tnat
were Fall to 80 In alone he could be
elected al any timo, but that he is
holding back and distributing his
strength to aid the Republican organ
izatiOn In getting a candidate which
Il viii approve. II IL said here that
Solomon Luna Is urging Chas. A.
Springer as the running mate for Fan
ana that Springer IL equally aruent
in urging solomon Luna for one ui
the senators. Both profess that they
do not want the job; both say tney
VIII not accept it, but when asked
who the second candidate Will De,
decline 20 discuss the matter. II is
claimed that Andrews has reached the
limit of his strength and that Cat
ron's row with Speaker Baca puts
him In q pracnrlOns condition, where

Despite tho failures IN the past. the
talk of a Republican caucus upon SON

being urged for Monday and Tuesday
oi next week. Some Of the Republican
Legislators profess 10 see great danger
in delay, and I'm the activity of the
Democrats who are watching the sat
uatlon closely II d Wen known now
that all that prevents a caucus Is the
anti~hudrewa sentiment among the
Mills delegation. Should Mr. Andrews
be eliminated there would be a caucus
at once, so the Mills men say. The
Andrews men say they are ready fo'
caucus any time. Judge Falls men
say that he stands where he always
did aud that he will so into q Repub
lican caucus day or night
