By use of train, stage and horse and some active bust ling Sheriff Shad Hodgln and hie dep tie managed today to round up a ma jority of the men included in ! special venire of 60 men issued yesterday in the Steunenberg rase an'4 Ibey all ei port to be on hand when the trial returned tomorrow afternoon. It has been deckled that James H. Hawley, senior counsel for the state will make the opening statement. He and his associate were in conference on the subject today and also spent aome time considering the testimony to be offred next week and the order in which it shall be offered. It haa not at yet been decided by the state to call Steve Adams aa a witness. He . is on the state' list and it waa for the time be ing deemed certain that he will be brought here and willingly or unwilling ly, placed on the stand. The matter i now in doubt and will not be determined until biter. Lat yesterday afternoon the attor neys lor the state and defense were served with a lit of the names drawn on the new venire, and have been busily engaged ever since in examining into the qualifications or disqualifies tiona of the men composing the panel. Both side have had agent in the coun ty fori several months past, and practi caily every man who ba expressed decided opinipn one way or the other as to the guilt or innocence of the ac cused miners is known. , Tii is fact was illustrated on the part of the defense when on two occasions talesmen in the jury box were con- ironied oy men wttn whom tiiey were alleged to have discussed the case from a partisan standpoint. Eugene Dobs, Socialist and labor agi tator, ia expected to come to tha city at any time, one report being that he is on his wliy here. His coming is depre cated by counsel fop the defense. Fred Miller, of the associated coun sel, made the following etatement thi morning relative to Debs: "The jury which is to try Haywood will not be in sympathy with Socialists and any effort to make socialism an is sue will be to the detriment of the de fendant. - The socialist now here un derstand the situation and art not ex ploiting their viewa except through their respective papers. "Debs might not follow their example and counsel for the defense feel sorry i coming here. The question otf socialism is entirely foreign to the trial, the only point being whether the West ern Federation, officers oonspired to mur der Steunenberg. We have for j;hia rea son done al in our power recently to discourage the socialist writers and publishers have compiled with our re quests.". ' . '. CHICAGO STRIKE. CHICAGO, May 22.

NEW YORK, May 22.-That tha strike of the longshoremen is having a serioua effect upon business, is appar ently indicated by the comparative fig. urea of exports just given out at the custom house.
