THE ST7NDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND,' JUNE 4, 1923 13 KLAN TAKES HID E What Hall Will Do, He Re fuses to Reveal. RACE IS HELD LIKELY FORTIETH CATHEDRAL .CLASS OF 32D DEGREE SCOTTISH RITE1 MASONS INITIATED LAST NIGHT. Senator Only Rival at Primary Who Has Not.Yet Congratu lated Governor. Four distinct political movements are now under way, aftermath of the recent primaries. The first is the gubernatorial situation; the second is the organization of the county repub lican committee in Multnomah and other counties; the third is the or ganization of the senate and the fourth is the organization of the house of representatives. Into each of these movements has been introduced, more or less prominently, the issue which overshadowed all others in the republican primaries. Leaders of the allied Ku Klux Klan and the Oregon Federation of Pa triotic societies are taking a hand in all four of these political activities. They have not surrendered hope of capturing the governor's office and they want control of the republican party machinery through the county committee, and control of the legis lature through electing the president cf the senate and speaker of the house. ' Hall Mar Contest Election. Charles Hall of Marshfield is the only opponent of Governor Olcott in the recent primaries who has with held his congratulations and proffer of support in the general election.' Ihis leads to the belief that Hall contemplates contesting the nomina tion of Governor Olcott, or in lieu of that announcing himself later as an independent- candidate. Senator Hall explained yesterday that probably he will make a public statement in a few days; that not until the official canvass is made and announced by the secretary of elate will he know, officially, the re sult, and not -before that time will be announce his course. Friends of Hall say that he has five days after the official vote is promulgated in which to file notice of a contest Bettora Wondering, Too. In the digest of election laws of Oregon, prepared by Sam A. Kozer, secretary of state, it is set forth that June 3, 1922 yesterday is "the time within which contested nominations shall be heard and determined by the circuit court. Section 3993." This is within 15 days after the primaries. According to this information, the time has gone in which Hall should have Btarted his contest proceedings. June 17 is the latest date on- which the secretary of state, in the pres ence of the governor and state treas urer, shall proceed to canvass votes and that is also the date on which the governor issues his proclamation declaring nomination of each person by his party. Not only politicians but bettors are wondering what Hall intends doing. Thousands of dollars were wagered on the Olcott-Hall race. Stakehold ers are still holding the money en trusted to them; the men who made the wagers want to pay or be paid and wipe the slate clean. Every Query Considered. In a cautiously worded interview yesterday Hall countered every query whifh might give an inkling as to his programme. He admitted that he has been studying the situation assid uously for the past week with good advisers, as there are many people interested in the outcome, but the senator from Coos and Curry counties did not reveal the identity of- the men with whom he has been taking coun eel. He made it plain that whatever course he elects to pursue, he alone, will make the final decision, assum ing entire responsibility for his acts. Regarding the rumor, that he may become an independent candidate. Senator Hall said- he had seen it in tho press, but he neither denied nor confirmed it. - Among people more or lees in touch with Hall it is predicted that he will oontest Governor Olcott's nomination that if the contest does not change the result Hall will either be an in dependent in the autumnal election. or someone else will, or Hall may-not file a contest and simply annouce big Independent candidacy. Democrats of Two Minds. Democrats are of two minds with respect to" an independent running as a bolt from the primary fight. One view is that an independent, whether Hall or C E. Gates of Medford or eome other man will make the elec tion of Walter M. Pierce, democratic standard bearer, easy, as with the re publican camp split wide open the democrats can march in between to victory. They call attention to a aim liar situation in the republican party when Jonathan Bourne, defeated for the nomination of United States sen ator by Ben Selling, bolted the pri mary result and became an indeDend ent, thereby dividing the republican vote which was further split with a progressive in the field so that Dr Harry Lane, democrat, won by a lew hundred votes. The other democratic view, which is giving concern to those who enter tain it, is that the friction in the re publican ranks may extend into and permeate the democratic forces. If the issue of the primaries is stressed in the general election, with Olcott and an independent up, the issue is likely to draw thousands of demo crats to the support of either Olcott or his independent opponent so that the democratic vote which Pierce will receive will be negligible. In short, these democratic pessimists fear that the democratic party will be stripped to the bone by Olcott and the inde pendent, leaving Pierce high and dry and me party snot to pieces. Call Already Is Issued. Call has been issued for assembling of the republican county committee in Multnomah next Wednesday night at the municipal auditorium. There are three groups preparing to take an active part. One is the group ol precinct committeemen who are ready to re-elect John L. Day as county chairman. The federation of patriotic societies is backing Walter Eddy, and the Republican club of Charles IS, Lockwood will offer Ralph W. Hoyt, recently defeated for re- nomination as county commissioner. The Republican club intends essay ing the role of peacemaker and offer ing Hoyt as a compromise. There was a caucus of the club members Friday night while earlier in the week the teaeration committeemen caucused behind closed doors in the courthouse and, incidentally, voted down a resolution to support the entire ticket. Orange tickets were printed in Portland for every county and on every ticket was the admonition: "Vote for candidate for county cen tral committeeman endorsed by Ore gon Federation of Patriotic socie ties.'

WOMAN ACCUSES PRIEST Pastor Charged With Illegal Re moval of Body From Grave. LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 3. The Rev. J. J. Sheehy,- rector of bt. Jo seph's Catholic church at Pomona, 30 milea east of Los Angeles, was ar rested on a felony warrant charging he had caused the illegal removal of a body from a grave, according- to dispatches received by tne uoa An geles Times. The complainant was Mrs. Emma Trisler of Los Angeles, who accused the priest of having caused the re moval of the body of her husband, Courtney Trisler, from a plot she owned in the Catholic cemetery at Pomona and causing to be burled there the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Hannegan. The priest was released on his own recognizance until this morning when he will be arraigned. "The records of the cemetery,".said the priese, who is in charge of it, "showed nothing to indicate any bur ial had been made in the plot. I be lieve Mrs. Trisler made' a small in itial payment at the time of her hus band's death, but has not bought the plot. However, I did not know any body was buried there and so'the plot was sold to the Hannegan family." "MUMMY" STORY DOUBTED Body Found Near Stevenson, Wash., That of Boy, Thinks Mr. Himes. George H.
