Writ Command n g
Hidalgo Ballots Be
Taken to Austin

AUSTIN, Feb. 5.-W. r. Montgom-
cry, representative from Hidalgo
county was formally assured his seat
in the 4lst legislature Monday aft
ernoon when the lower house by a
vote Of 81 to ~ decided to suspend
further inquiry into the election of
Montgomery, whose seat was con-
tested BY l.. NJ. Smith Of Edinburg.
The vote followed a motion by
Representative Beck of Fort Worth
that the house should recognize
Montgomery as the duly elected rep
resenIative of Hidalgo county.
Representative Sinks, chairman Of
the committee on privileges and cleo
tions promptly dispatched a telegram
to Cam Z. Hill, Hidalgo county clerk,
instructing him to ignore the writ
previously issued by the committee
commanding that the hidalgo county
ballots be brought to the capital.
The Hidalgo county contest was
brought to the attention OF the house
late Monday afternoon when Repre-
sentative Sinks, reported tEat the at
torney general had ruled that a sub
committee of the committee on priv
ileges and elections could not be sent
to Hidalgo county TO conduct hear
ings. He stated that approximately
$4,000 would be necessary to meet
the expenses of witnesses brought
to Austin for the hearings.
Representative Bond Of Terrell
raised the point that the house did
not have the authority TO dismiss the
contest until the elections commit
tee has made final report, but
house leaders held that it did possess
the authority.
"This affair should be settled
without further delay" kemble Of
Fort Worth said, "and we should
serve notice on Montgomery that he
has a right to his seat and that those
grafters down there are not wanted
in Austin"
Today's action BY the house was
the final chapter in the election
dispute which has been pending
since the beginning Of the legisla-
ture.
At its first hearing the elections
committee held that it possessed
jurisdiction to hear the case and
ordered County Judge A. W. Cam
eron to appear before the committee
with voting lists and other election
data. After Cameron was questioned,
the committee decided TO send a
subcommittee, headed by Represen-
tative Storey of Vernon to Hidalgo
to hear evidence.
This gesture was blocked by the
attorney generals ruling that the
issues could be determined only by
a committee sitting in Austin.

Los ANGELES, Feb. 5.-tPl-That
seldom-realized project Of aviation, a
nonstop flight from coast to coast,
was the goal today of Captain Frank
NJ. Hawks Of Houston, Tex, who
hopes to shatter the transcontinental
record in a flight from Los Angeles

Accompanied by Oscar E. Grubb, a
mechanic, Captain Hawks hoped
