BY W. MARVIN POPE.
SpeclaI CorrespondentO

WASHINGTON, April 16 (Spl) ut
was learned today that Senator Me-
kellar will unduestlonably seek election
as one OF the delegates at large to the
national convention at San Francisco.
II is customary in Tennessee to select
United States senator where he ex-
presses a desire TO go. Senator Nc
kellar favors the Endorsement OF the
nation administration Of Woodrow Will
son IN no uncertain terms, including
an absolute Endorsement OF the treaty
Of peace and league OF nations.
He has favored and stood ly IN every
essential detail the administration of
President Wilson during his more than
seven years Of Service as president. He
does not at this time favor any par
ticular candidate and expresses the hope
that the delegation viii be made UP of
Democrats who viii advise and confer
together and who will aid in securing
as tho Democratic candidate at San
Francisco q man who will get the most
votes and make the best president: no
believes that the candidates for dele
gates in the various districts and In
the state at large should be selected
openly and should tell the people before-
hand just where they stand on the lead
ing public questions.
No senator has been q stauncher or
more active friend Of the soldiers dur
ing and since the war than has Senator
MCkeliar, and he is heartily in favor
of such legislation as will give them
fair and Just treatment.

property OF Fay Duvall. his negress
client. Judge j. i. Young. before whom
the lawyer had citations for contempt
OF court sworn out for four police off

sion OF Galloway's clients money. The
contempt hearing took about two
hours Attorney John +. Bell appeared
for Galloway and T.. B. klewer, as
sistant city attorney, handled the po-
lice officials end OF the argument.
The gist OF Judge Goung's opinion
was that Commissioner Edgar. Police
Chief Burney. ]. r. Olive, desk SER
geant. and John w. Turner. Edgar
secretary-were not in contempt OF cir.
cult court because they told sheriff
Perry that he could have the money II
he could find 1t, when he showed up
at headquarters with a writ OF repAevin
to which Galloway had sworn. The
Judge held that replevin writ is an
Interlocutory and not final process,
and that the four were not In contempt
when they did not give the money to
Perry. j.. t.
b Hearing on the writ OF replevin may
be moved up to next week Judge
Young offered to do this, provided the
opposing attorneys got together on
date.

Young issue an order commanding the
police to turn the money over to the
court was denied. Mayor Paine and
