GOVERNOR I5 STRANDED
 WHITEH0R5E
Cutter Storis Was to Bring Him from SkagwaY But
 Train Hailed by Snow

The Coast Guard Cutter Storis is standing by in Skagway after having left Juneau at an early hour this morning on what appears to have been a futile attempt to bring Governor Ernest Gruening to Ju- neau in time for the opening of the special session of the 18th Legis- lature tomorrow.

A train left Whitehorse for Skagway this morning, carrying Gov. and Mrs. Gruening and a number of other passengers who were landed at the Canadian city by a Pan American plane which was unable to land at Juneau yes terday.
 The train was forced to return to Whitehorse, The Empire was advised from Skagway this after noon, and it will be impossible to run a train from Whitehorse to Skagway for three or four days.
 Lew Williams, Secretary of AL aska, said today that Gov. Gruen- ing will probably deliver his mes sage to the legislature on Friday, if the two houses have completed organization by that time. Other wise the message may not be de- livered until Monday.
