SENATE IS HE ON WOBBLY
 RESOLUTION
ABSENCE OF GETCHELL IN CHICAGO ON ACCOUNT OF SICKNESS CAUSES WITH DRAWAL; DEADLOCK ON BILLS EXPECTED.

PHOENIX. May 24-The with drawal of the anti-I. w. w. resolu- ton by Senator Hugh Campbell has disclosed the fact that the senate IS Ia tie as far as supporting the gov crnor is concerned. The anti-Hunt forces would have one majority if Senator \. H. Getchell of Yavapai county could return but he is i'll in Chicago and will not be able to get back for the special session. There are five pintos, as Dunbar terms the anti-Hu Democrats and four Re publicans. Gctchelrs vote would give them a majority. The anti Hunt forces have enough votes to stop any legislation but not enough to pass any and many deadlock is expected before the session adjourns.
 The Third House
 The third house is now in session. The members driftcd in little late but most of them are here. Al Der nard of Tucson, is conspicuously ab- sent but Colonel J. B. Breathitt is on the scene Walter Brawner of Phoe- nix was first on the job. He was soon joined by J. N Gaines of Co., chisc. Then came Tom Marshall of Pima accompanied by Grady Gam mage This made quorum and the third house was called to order. On account of the government order linn iting production, there will be no automobiles presented this session and consequently no drive-aways
 Gubernatorial Talk
 The Democratic gubernatorial race is one of the main topics of converse ton among the Democratic members. Most of them now agree that Hunt will be in the fight before the ses- sion is over and that there will be a long list of entrants before the time for filing petitions expires. w. A. Moeur vigorously denies that he is about to withdraw, says he IS no quitter and is in the fight to finish. Roberts is said to be sticking only for the purpose of keeping Fred Suttcr out. Winsor and Leroy Ladd are both. frequently mentioned these days. Cobb is expected to announce his candidacy in a few days In frcc-for-all the appointive office, job holders at the capitol arc expected to turn once more to Hunt as the only safe bet. Here is the way the lists stand at the present time: Osborn. Moeur. Colter, Roberts, Cobb, Hunt. I.add, Sutter and Winsor, or nine as pirants altogether.
 Investigation Rumored
 There Is talk of conducting an in vestigation into the action of the cor DoratiOn commission in granting per nits to sell stock to certain oil com- panies. It is even said that Hunt looks with disfavor upon this prac- Iice and may lend his support to an investigation into stock jobbing op- ,rations in which State officials are alleged to be concerned. If this comes up, it may make the San Dl- ,go affair pale into insignihcance.
 Fathers Hunt Measure
 Senato+ Claypoole ot Miami, Hunt supporter, instead of Roberts ,f Cochise was picked to father the governors bill making the Arizona Council of Defense a chattel of the State administration.
