wHALEY's CASE CONTINUED.
Committees Adjournment Means
Only that Members Are Tired.

Washington, Oct. 2.-Just before
Chairman Post, of 'u3 House COM
mittee on elections, ~ rhich Is investi-
eating the Grace-Whaley matter, left
Washington for his home in Ohio
to-day, he said that, as tentatively
agreed upon late last night by the
committee, no more meetings would
in all probability be held until some
time in December.
Il am afraid that there will be so
few members here" Mr.. Post said
that it would be impossible to Sc
cure quorum Of the committee. For
that reason it would be useless for
the other members to try to pass
upon this matter. Under these cCn-
ditions, with members tired my
how, there was nothing to dc but
call off the hearings until later
day"
Asked specifically whether the
committee, when it meets again,
would call upon Mr.. Grace for aaii-
tional proof Of the charges against
Representative Whaley, Mr.. Post
said that until the committee reads
and digcstS the aiildayits which al
ready have been submitted by Mr..
Grace, together with careful con-
sideratiOn Of the petition. with an
analysis Of the testimony presented
yesterday, the committee could not
say whether or not it would be nee
eSSary to call for other and addition
al facts. The truth Of the matter.
Mr.. Post stated, is that except for
casually reading over the petition
and receiving the affldavits and Civ
ing hasty hearing to the witnesses
yesterday, the committee has done
nothing, and therefore is not in a
position to say, at this time, what it's
attitude in the matter will be when
it meets again
Not Yet Decided.
The inquiry was adjourned be-
cause many Of the members wanted
to go home" Mr.. Post said, land
this does not necessarily mean that
either Mr.. Grace has made out a
prima facie showing, that he will be
called upon for more testimony, or
that the petition will be thrown out.
In other words, nothing has been de-
cided upon except that there VII be
no more hearings for the present"
Interested parties, it was explain
ed to-day, are at liberty to draw any
conclusions which they may wish
from what has transpired, but so
far as these conclusions indicating
any line of action looking. toward
decision are concerned, they should
not be credited to the committee.
This is a plain statement Of the
case as existing here at the present
time, and although friends of the
different parties feel confident that
the case will end favorably to the
contention of the men whom they
are supporting, it will be quite a
long time before a final decision is
made.
Mr.. Whaley said tC-ory that his
friends felt confident If clearing the
situation, and that in Keeping with
his conduct since it was first ru-
morcd that Mr.. Grace would take
action, he has kept silent, with the
exception Of the reply he made pub
lie on the day the petition was filed
here, and would probably maintain
this attitude until officially called
upon by the committee to come be-
fore it or make formal answer to the
Grace charges, if this is done
