Montgomery, May 22.-fspecial)- The sub committee of the state demo- cratic executive committee, appointed by Chairman Tyler Goodwin for the purpose of hearing the contest between J. l.. Scogin and w. H. Lawson for the office of county commissioner of Mont gomery county. appealed from the county democratic. committee, this aft ernoon reversed the decision of that committee and remanded the contest for a new hearing.
 In appealing to the state committee from the decision of the county com mittee in seating Scogin as the nominee of the party attorney for Scogin at tempted to show that Lawson, the con testant, had not the right to appeal inasmuch as he had withdrawn from the county committee the money he had deposited on filing notice of contest that the illegal votes alleged cast in the ballot had not been challenged and that Lawson had paid another candi- date. N. l.. Broach, to withdraw from the election. The subcommittee prac- ticauy overruled all of these demurers holding specifically that if Lawson had paid Broach $20 to withdraw from the election 1t would have to be prover that Broach would have received cer- tain votes had he remained a candi' | date.

THE DARROW JURY LACKS SBUT ONE MAN Chance of Thirteenth Juror Proves Most Difficult
 Task Yet

Los Angeles. May 22.-Seiecting a thir- teenth. of alternate juror in the trial of Clarence s. Darrow. the Chicago lawyer. for alleged jury bribing. proved today the most difficult task yet undertaken in the trial. The regular jury of 12 men was completed before the noon recess.
 When court adjourned late today 10 men had been examined in frultless attempt to obtain the thirteenth member, who will act on reaching a verdict only if re- quired by the illness of regular juror. It was after the completion of the jury that both sides agreed to choose an exc tra juror as permitted by a law long on the statute books of the state, through seldom invoked.
 The twelfth juror was obtained after brief examination but when efforts were made to elect the extra juror strong prejudice in the minds of a surprisingly large number of talesmen was encount- cred.
 The defense exercised one of it's two peremptory challenges allowed in select- ing the alternate juror, so the state and defense now have one each.
 Seven talesmen will be available tomor- row morning and unless the delays ex- perienced today are repeated it is be- lieved the trial will be well under way before adjournment.
