1Iay Investigate Reports.
Some Of the Democrats who are In
the Senatorial fray as candidates in
tend to see that the Senatorial ques-
zion is not injected into the party
caucus on organization tonight There
was some surprise today at a report
that soon after the Legislature Is or
ganized a resolution may be intro
duced by some of the anti-Saulsbury
Democrats calling for an investiga-
tion OF a report that money was sent
into Kent county by a Democrat at
the recent election to aid the cleo
tion OF certain candidates for the
l.eeisiaturo This resolution. IL is re-
ported. may call for an Investigation
hy a legislative committee and by the

colt. In fact, it Is intimated that Mr..
Wolcott and some of his friends al
ready have begun to delye into this
report and that the matter may be
carried to the Senate at Washington
should certain Democral be elected
United States Senator.
So keen has become the Senatorial
contest that some OF the Democrats
are talking OF taking an adjournment
after the Legislature organizes until
January u the day Governor Charles
r. Miller is to be inaugurated and al
so the day on which balloting foi
United States Senator will begin The
object OF such a recess would be e
avoid as far as possible bitterness
. among followers OF various candidatei
for Senator which some OF the Demo
Gratis fear may tear apart the Demo
cratic ranks i'm the Legislature.
Meanwhile the question OF whethe
or not the Democratic members shal
enter into a binding caucus for Sena
tor or shall merely have a conference
to talk over the situation and fgh
out the Senatorial selection on tn
floor of the Legislature remains to b
determined willard Salisbury AM

Is in favor OF an open caucus, We
binding. but James H. Hughes is op
