SMITH WILL 7N)T ,
 FORCE THE FIGHT
Plans to T,ks 1ins h Seaats
 Battle

Dwight. Ill.,. Jan. n 0-Frank L. Smith is going to take his t1me about planning action 10 gain the seat in the United states senate which that body was denied him.
 There's no great rush." he said upon his return from Chicago con ferences with Gov. Small. Mayor Thompson and other republican party leaders. ''and there's nothing to say for publication now"
 Smiths friends seemed to be agreed that the Dwight banker would fight for his senate seat. if 1t took the entire six-year-term to which he was elected.
 Small's Stand
 Governor Small in his statement yesterday made 1t clear that the state of Illinois regards Smith as having been legally chosen. and that he would take no steps either to make Smith an appointive senator or to make other moves to give the state the two senate representatives to which it is entitled.
 For him to appoint the Dwight man to the senate, the governor believes, would be in effect an &C.,. acknowledgement of the senate's right in refusing to accept the origi- nal certificate of election. This attempt of the United States senate to declare a vacancy in the consti- tutional representation of Illinois ia the United States senate" he said, ''is wholly unwarranted, in my judgment, and constitutes . danger ous attempt to nullify the rights of a sovereign state and the people thereof"
 Aside from the statement by Gov. ernor Small. there has been no com- ment from the principals involved Smith. party leaders or Samuel In- sull. utilities head. whose contribu- tions to the Smith campaign fund started the investigation which end- ed in the senate's thumbs down" vote.
