NO DECISION YET IN
GOVERNORSH|P CASE

SALEM May 2S.-Another Tuesday
morning grist of supreme court de-
cisions has come down without an
opinion as to the status of Ben w.
Olcott as governor of oregon. 1t is
generally believed in state house cir
cles that the opinion has been writ
ten for some time but that its deliv-
cry is delayed in order to permit the
filing of a special opinion by one of
the members of the supreme bench,
Speculation-which in the absence of
any inside information, is the only re-
course--has it that the opinion, when
Ii does finally appear. will uphold
the opinion of Attorney General
Brown to the effect that Olcott is
governor in fact and as such is en-
titled to resign as secretary of stats
and appoint a successor without af-
fecting his right to the governors
seat 1t is also generally believed that
in anticipation of a favorable deci-
sion of the court Olcott is preparing
to name his successor as secretary
of state within a few days after the
court determines his status as goyer-
nor. But this is only speculation and
the curious public must now await
another Tuesday in hopes of further
developments in the case.
