The national com mittee therefore rescinded Its action in seating Dr. Morrow and sent the subject back to the credentials committee! That committee, after going into thei legal phases of the question, decided that notice by wire was a notice in writing, and accordingly asafh recommended that Dr. Morrow be seated as national com mitteeman from Oregon, which was done, whereafter he sat with the committee and participated in its deliberations. The committee directed the new commit teeman, however, to heye thei state central committee again called into ees-. slon, either by Chairman Starkweather, or if he refused to call it, by himself, observing all of the technicalities of the law, and when it had been convened, to have It formally ratify the action of the previous meeting insofar as his election by its was concerned.
