Salt Lake City, Nov 1S.-Joseph Hillstrom, I. w. w. poet and agitator, will be shot to death at sunrise to- morrow. He was convicted Of the ey1u1der of J. G. Morrison and the latter's son, Arling.
 President Wilaon's second appeal to Governor Spry to commute the condemned mans sentence met with a flat refusal today.
 "Your imputation that justice has not been done in the Hillstrqm case is absolutely unjustifisd," the gover- nor telegraphed the president. A lcng statement by the governor re- sented "the elevnth hour interfer ence."
 q think the president is even ex- ceeiing his powers in interfering a second time. But in all probability he has baen msinform =d," Governor Spry said tonight.
 Other states officials were equally vehsIrent in denouncing the presi- d:nt's activity in the case.
