 ORGANIZED PHOENIX Jan. 10-After brief morn ing sessions yesterday in which both appointing all of it's standing com mittees, an adjournment was taken un- til 10:30 on Thursday morning. It was suspected that there was some relation between an over day adjourn ment and an announcement that the supreme court today would enter upon and probably dispose of the final phase of the Campbell-Hunt mandamus pro- ceedings. But probably there was no relation. Even if there were a recog- nized governor, there is little that the Legislature could do just now.
 The governor situation was almost precipitated in the house by Mrs. Pauline O'Neill of Maricopa yester- day morning. She had prepared a resolution for the notification of Gov ernor Campbell of the readiness of the house to transact business and call | ing upon him for any message he might have to deliver. The intention of Mrs. O'Neill was communicated to Speaker Johns who secured a post ponement of the introduction of the resolution on the ground that it was slightly inopportune T But it is cer- tain that unless the governorship muddle is soon solved in some other way an attempt will be made to solve 1t in this way.
 The Senate After an executive session in the morning to dispose of the matter of the attaches the senate was called to order and an announcement was made 6of the appointment of the standing committees as follows in which it appears that the republican minority was liberally dealt with: <.
