DOVER, Del, June 1S.-John d.
Hutton, deputy attorney general, at
the request Of Attorney General j. 0.
Woleott, appeared before the Supreme
Court here this morning asking for
re-hearing in the anti-shipping liquor
case of Van Wrinkle VS.. the Adams Tx
press Company.
After hearing Mr.. Huttons state
ment, the Supreme Court refused to
reopen the case for re-argument, and
then signed the decree. which permits
shipments from other States into
Kent and Sussex counties for law

ments from New Castle county into

Court that the attorney general was
of the opinion he could not take an
appeal to the Supreme Court OF the
United States
Mr.. Hutton in addressing the Court
said
The Attorney General in giving
notice of a possible appeal TO the Su-
preme Court of the United States,
thought it might be possible TO do
such a thing on a writ Of error, but
after fully and carefully investigating
the case he feels satisfied that the
State cannot take such a writ Of error
to the Supreme Court of the United
States; and in view Of the great inn
portance of the questions involved. as
we'll as the effect on the peace and
good order Of the State, the attorney
general asks for a re-hearing. Also,
from the fact that the particular point
on which the court based its decision
was possibly not argued at as full
length as might have been done
namely, the Webb Kenyon law as ap-
plicable to the case before the court"
Judge Woolley stated that it was
rare that re-argument was granted
in a case on a mere application and
then. only when IL could be shown
to the court that they might have
erred or been under some misappre-
hension.
Judge Woolley further stated that
no case which has heen before the
court in recent years or since he has
been on the bench has been given so
much consideration as the one just
decided. He showed that all decisions |
possible had been secured from other /
States on the same question. giving as
instances decisions on the same point |
Of law in Tennessee, Kansas. Oregon I
and Minnesota all of which have been |
decided since the question was raised /

is to make sea-going safe, Senator

Stringent regulations respecting
the building of ship hulls, Senator
Smith asserted, will not be possible
for years to come because of the in

ton can be taken by this country, he
added, until England is ready to CO.

WILL LOOK UP LAWS,
 THEN DECLARE VOTE
Gov. Hays Not Ready to Issue Proclamation on Acts and
 Amendments.

Governor Hays announced yesterday after the meeting of the state Board of Election Coa- ,nissioners that he will not is sue his proclamation declaring the vote on the acts and amend ments until he has thoroughly investigated the law.
 The governor is undecided what action may be taken by him because of the legal points he believes are involved in the pro- visions of the initiative and ref erendum amendment of the state constitution. This amendment leaves it an open question as to the majority required for the adoption of amendments to the constitution, and also as to the method of declaring the amend ments adopted.
 Before, tine adoption of the in- itiative and referendum the speaker of the house declared the result and a majority Of the lar gest vote cast at the election is required to amend the constitu- tion.
 The state board Ganvassed the returns for all state offices, the liquor license vote and for the two acts and amendments. The vote on the acts and amend ments was certified to the gov ernOr.
 One error was found in the table of votes cast on liquor li- cense. The table previously an- nounced showed that Howard county voted a majority for li- cense. The official figures show a majority of 751 against license in that county.
