Justice Siddons Refuses to
Issue Order Against
Sec'y Colby.
BY Associated Press :

DN AhNoAldAtu
WASHINGTON. Aug. 25.-Anu-
suffrage forces received another set
back Wednesday when Justice Sid
dons. of the District OF Columbia
supreme court, refused 10 issue a
show cause" order against Sec'y
of State Colby preliminary TO the
issuance of an injunction 10 re
strain that official from proclaiming
the nineteenth amendment a law Of
the land. The order would have re-
uuired Mr.. Colby to show cause why
the injunction should not be issued.
The action was brought by Charles
S Fairchilds, an official of the
American Constitutional league. on
behalf of himself and the organiza-
tiOn.
No further effort would be made
10 prevent the issuance Of the proc
lamation, Alfred D. Smith, attorney
for Mr.. Fairchilds. said.
VIII sign Proclamation
The official certification of Ten
nessee's ratification of the amend
ment was expected to arrive from
Nashville some time Wednesday
night and Sec'y Colby indicated that
ne WOOlu issue the pTONlanldllOI dS
soon as he received Gov. Roberts
certification.
The campaign of the anti-suffrage
forces would now be directed at an
effort TO obtain early action in the
United States supreme court on the
question OF the validity of the Ten
nessee ratification. Mr.. Smith an
nOunced. He said that he would
ask a formal order of dismissal
from Justice Siddons in order that
he might appeal TO the District of
Columbia court of appeals at once
with a request that the case be Ger
tilted directly 10 the federal su-
preme court and set for early trial
Hopes For Decision.
Mr.. Smith said that he still hoped
TO obtain a decision before the No
vember- elections. If, however. the
appeal should be carried through
the District OF Columbia court of
appeals 10 the supreme court IL
could not be argued until after the
regular meeting of the court in Oc-
tober, with little likelihood that a
decision would be reached before
election day, Nov. 2. In that event.
II was pointed out, the women OF
the country would be legally en-
titled 10 vote with the result that,
should the supreme court later de-
eide against the legality of the Ten
nesee ratification the validity OF the
entire national election would be in
question.
The anti-suffrage forces are also
challenging the legality Of ratifca-
tion in Missouri, West Virginia and
Ohio.
