MIGHT HAVE SELF APPOINTED
The Senatorial Situation is Keeping
 Everyone Guessing at Present.

Little Rock, Oct. 5.-(SpeciaD.- It is much easier to prophecy the wealth CT than it is to foretell what is going to happen in the Senatorial situation. Conjectures, guessess rumors and pro- phecies fill the air, but there are only few things that are certain. It Is even a disputed point if the governor has the authority to make tempOr- ary appointment. Many believe that he has not, but others hold that the general statute on the subject of vac ancies gives him the power.
 The latest gossip is that Gov. Hays himself aspires to wear the toga, and that he will call special election and become a candidate before the pri- naries that will necessarily be heis in advance. One of these unverifled rumors says that he may resign and that Acting Governor Lem B, Ken dall would appoint him to fill the vac ancy temporarily.
 About the only definite information is that a special election will be call ed, and that Judge w. F. Kirby is a candidate for the place. Congress man Caraway has come to the front in the last two days as a probable contended for the office. The Repub- lieans are watching the corners clos ely and are undoubtedly prepared to take advantage of any false step talk en by the Democrats.
 Gov. Hays is receiving many letters uriing him to become a candidate, but he will make no announcement of his intentions.
