DENEEN WILL CALL AN EXTRA SESSION Will Fill Vacancy in Senate Caused by Expulsion
 of L0rimer

Chicago. November 9.-4Governor De- ncen returned to Springfeld tonight after having decided to call a special session of the state legislature at once, to fill the vacancy in the United States Senate caused by the retirement of William Lorimer, and to pass a re-ap- sportionment bill. if it is found that such action legally can be taken. The seri- ousness of the legal points which are pcrpleXing the governor is indicated by the fact that the progressive members If elected to the legislature, are plan hing, in the event of a special session being called, to go to Springfield and demand their seats.
 The progressives hold they have been elected and have the right to take their seats whenever the legislature is con vned, regardless of whether the repub lican secretary of state sees fit to with hold their certificates of election until btter the special session.
 Non-partisan organization of the new l. gislature along wet and dry lines is Euid to be a possibility as result Of The deadlock existing between the par ties in both houses.
