Santa Fe, ~ NJ, March 26.-The
story that a conference of democrats,
insurgents ard republican Spanish
Americans bad been held last even
ing to elect Felix Martinez, democrat,
and Herbert i liage1lnan, proglcs-
sive republican, to the United States
senate today is only one of many
canards that were given circulation
this forenoon and seemed ito increase
the tenseness of the senatorial situa-
ton.
Judge Albert B. Fall, the leading
candidate on the republican side, was
in earnest conversation with Speaker
r. L. Baca just before the balloting,
and Felix Martinez, the leading can
didate on the democratic side, with an
inscrutable smile looked over the as
sembly as the balloting was in prog
ress. But there was no shifting of the
forces except here and there where
one or the other members swappd
votes for favorite candidates.
Both William H. Andrews and Will
liam J. Mills held their own, II
votes, the same as yesterday; A. B..
Fall regained two of the four votes
he lost since Saturday; T. B. Catron
lost the two that Fall gained. Martinez
held his 23 and A. A. Jones lost one
which was cast complimentary to
John w. Poe.
The senatorial situation today re-
mains practically unchanged, the
deadlock among the republican candi-
dates being apparently as tight as
ever. No candidate apparently had
gained enough republican votes to
change the situation one way or the
other. A couple Of favorite sons
votes were. given to Holm o. Bursumi
and 1t is said here that the votes We're
taken from his friend Catron. The
progressive republicans have neither
allied themselves with democrats cr
regulars nor have they indicated a
preference for any candidate except
Hargerman- Prince, R. L. Baca and
Terry, scattering their ballots. W
H. Giiienwater who lined them up
yesterday received no votes today
The ballot is considered favorable
to the republican organization which
stood solidly by Fall and Catron. but
former Governor Mills maintained
the firm and solid position he has had
since the first ballot. A few votes
were shifted around but Mills
