CONTEST IS BEGUN BY
 GOV. HUNT

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 6.-On the declaration of the secretary of state, that in the late election Thomas E. Campbell, Republican, received 27,976 votes for governor that Governor Hunt had received 27,946 and that MT. Campbell was elected, Governor Hunt instituted a contest in the sup erior court of Maricopa county today.
 The petition alleges that illegal votes were cast and counted for Mir. Campbell in each and every precinct of each and every county, and that votes were cast and not counted for the governor in each and every pre- cinct of each and every county in the state.
 It is asked that inspectors be ap- pointed, one to be named by the con- testant, one my the contestee and the third by the court. The contestant has designated Homer R. Wood of Prescott as inspector for him. The petitioner will appear in court tomor- row morning and ask that the other two inspectors be named. This brings the entire contest to this county where all the ballots cast at the late election will be brought.

PROPOSALS ARE SUBMITTED FOR
 BUILDING SHIPS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Four American shipbuilders submitted pro- posals to the navy department today for the construction of the four 35- knot battle cruisers authorized as a part of the 1917 building program. No estimates of the cost were includ- ed, all the bidders offering to build the ships for cost plus from 10 to 15 per cent profit.
 The bidders were the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock company, the Union Iron Works of San Fran cisco, the Fore River Shipbuilding company of Quincy, Mass, and Will jam Cramp and Sons of Philadelphia.
 Since no direct proposals under the limitation of S16,500,O00 for the cost of hull and machinery of each ship was received, department officials be- gan at once an examination of the cost of percentage offers with the ex- pectation of working out a uniform agreement under which each bidder will receive one of the ships. The Newport News company and Cramp fixed 10 per cent as the profit they desired, while the other two com panies suggested 15 per cent, but were willing to leave it to the federal trade commission to determine fair rate

LLOYD-GEORGE CHOSEN
 ID ORGANIZE NEW MINISTRY

LONDON, Dec. 6.-David Lloyd
 George has overthrown the Asquith
 cabinet and will become prime min
 ister himself. The new government will be coalition, like the old one, but
 probably without the same measure of harmonious support which attended the formation of the first coalition government, because its berth has created additional factional differen- ces. This result has emerged from another day of active and hurried party conferences and a day of in tense suspense and interest through out the country.
 There was a prospect this after noon that the personal offices of the king might solve the situation, and many thought that the Asquith regime might be continued. The king called the party leaders to Buckingham Palace and conferred with them for more than an hour. Mir. Asquith and Mir. Lloyd-George of the Liberals, MT. Bonar Law and Mir. Balfour of the Unionists, and Mir. Henderson of the Labor party were with the sovereign. It is many years since British ruler assembled the representatives of the different factions face to face when they had shown themselves unable to settle their differences. But no such serious crisis has before arisen to re- quire such action by the king.
 Whatever passed in council is held secret, but the inference that the king tried to arrange a reconciliation ap- pears a most natural one. The five statesmen departed separately, four in their motor cars, and the working mems spokesman afoot. Afterward the king gave an audience to Mir. Bonar Law, who declined to undertake the formation of a new ministry, and then to Mir. Lloyd-George who accept ed the responsibility, as everyone anticipated he would if the opportuni- ty came to him.
 The official announcement tonight | that MT. Lloyd-George had undertaken the task, with the cooperation of Mir. Bonar Law, was a notification that the new government would be coali- tion. Any party government would be impossible because neither the Unionists nor the Liberals have a ma jority in the house of commons; either | one must attach the Irish Nationalists or the Laborites to itself to command | a majority. The Nationalists have to participate in the govern ment until home rule becomes estab- lished.
 The Laborites are sworn enemies of Mir. Lloyd-George because they resent | his accusations that the workingmen have put their personal interests above the national interests at times l during the war.
 The country awaits the rising of the curtain on the next act of this his torical and remarkable crisis with an which never surrounded the birth throes of any previous gov ernment. The Lloyd-George ministry means the direction of the war by a l in the form of an inner council of the cabinet and means the scrapping of those elder statesmen, whose supremacy in the councils of the nation, until they choose to with draw from the scene voluntarily, has always heretofore been regarded by the British people as a matter of course.
 Mir. Asquith, Mir. Balfour, Viscount
Mohave County miner., 1916-12-09

Grey and Lord Lansdowne must go" the oyd-George press has been cry ing. But their going will be attended by widespread misgivings among the people who have thought their mowl edge and experience as necessary to the government as the push and driv- ing power of the group which will succeed them.
 Mir. yd-George is committed to the formation of a war council and the membership of that dictatorship will be the most important and crucial work he will have to deal with. An drew Bonar Law, the Earl of Derby and Sir Edward Carson all of them conservatives, are most talked of. Mir. Bonar Law and Lord Derby would be generally approved but Sir Edward Carson has many critics, who concede his talents as a brilliant lawyer but question whether he has also the abili- ty, sound judgment and business ex- perience for directing war measures.
 The new premier is confronted with the problem whether he will become a member of his own war council. His scheme for the council, which he pre- sented to Premier Asquith as the price of his continuance in the Asquith cabi- net, excluded the premier on the ground that the general duties of of flee did not leave time for daily ses- sions to which the council must de- vote itself. The question whether Lord Northcliffe, to whom more than to anyone unless himself, Mir. Lloyd George owes his advancement, will en- ter the cabinet is much discussed. If he does, the presence there of MT. Asquith, Viscount Grey and Mir. Bal four, whom Lord Northcliffes newspa- pers call ''the Haldane gang appar- ently becomes entirely improbable.
 Who will be the minister for foreign affairs and chancellor of the ex- chequer-two of the most important offices outside of the military and naval spheres-is a matter of specu- lation on which predictions are all guess work. The house of commons will meet tomorrow but no announce ment regarding the new government is expected. An official note tonight | says the proceedings will be formal and that no questions will be an- swered.
 The court circular tonight an the political audiences and conferences at the palace today, said:
 "The king gave a further audience this evening to Mir. Bonar Law, who intimated that he was unable to form | an administration. The report of the king summoned Mir. Lloyd-George, who, at his majesty's request, under took to endeavor to form an admins tration."
 That the Laborites are not likely to support a Lloyd-George administra- tion was further indicated at a meet ing of the parliamentary committee of the trades unions today, which adopt ed a resolution unanimously express ing profound regret that certain statesmen, influenced by the press campaign, have, in the hour of the na- tion's crisis, entirely failed to observe loyalty and self-sacrifice which they | urged upon the worlmen during the war"
 The resolution continues:
 Further, VIC earnestly hope that the present unseemly quarrel among those entrusted with great responsibility | shall immediately cease and to set a | better example to the workers"
