The destination of the honeymoon party was unknown. A wedding luncheon was given at the Ritz before the party motored away. j Both McCormick and Ganna Walaka have , been recently divorced, i McCor- mick was divorced by his wife, fcdith Rockefeller McCormick, daughter of the "oil king," In Chicago on the grounds of desertion.

' Although some attorneys are of. the opinion that this act- - ;Woul4 not stand the test of the courts, tit fact remains that it$ Is the law . until the . supreme court rules otherwise. ". Development in the Republican go- - bernatortal recount are oererred until next week when on Monday the case will be reopened In the Marlon, coun- ty circuit court at Salem- - At that time it is expected that the Hall forces will produce winessea In substantiation of their charges of Illegal voting. Just what will be accomplished .in this re- gard, of course, is problematical,' but their whole case rests on these charge In view of the discontinuance of the actual recounting of ballots. The recheck of the ballots, in 232 se- lected precinct in three Oregon coun- ties Marion, Multnomah and Clatsop, which is about one seventh of the en- tire number of precinct in the state ; gave Olcott a gain of SI votes over his original lead of TCI. t r In only one Instance, in precinct 201 in Multnomah county, was any evi dence of fraud uncovered.- - And this ingle instance, where IS votes east for Olcott were not credited to him and where IS vote were tallied for i Continued Pais Sixteen.

HALL'S CANDIDACY

BLOCKED BY LAW

That any independent candidacy forSenator Hall, which was the obvious

.inference of the public statement Is-

sued on his behalf by the Public De-fense league Wednesday afternoon,would involve more, litigation is " evi-dent from' reading section JJ7S of thesession laws of 1919, which state "thatno candidate for. a nomination whofalls to receive the highest number ofvotes for the nomination of the politi-cal party with which he was affiliatedat the time of filing his petition fornomination, small be entitled to be thecandidate of any other political party,or to become an independent candidateat the ensuing election."' Although some attorneys are of. the

opinion that this act- - ;Woul4 not standthe test of the courts, tit fact remainsthat it$ Is the law . until the . supremecourt rules otherwise. ".

Development in the Republican go--bernatortal recount are oererred untilnext week when on Monday the casewill be reopened In the Marlon, coun-ty circuit court at Salem-- At thattime it is expected that the Hall forceswill produce winessea In substantiationof their charges of Illegal voting. Justwhat will be accomplished .in this re-gard, of course, is problematical,' buttheir whole case rests on these chargeIn view of the discontinuance of theactual recounting of ballots.
