situation at Copperfield is entirely seL-
tied. Again will Miss llobbs play
an important role as the representative
of the chief executive of the state.
Governor West today wired Judge
Anderson, of Baker County, asking
Jus advice as to the earliest day a
hearing can he had to obtain the re
moval of Kami. The governor advised
Judge Anderson -that Miss II ebbs
will represent him as special counsel
'and present the state's case. West
also wired Miss llobbs to remain in
Il.ikcr to attend the matter. She was
T admitted to the bar last year. The
! action of the governor was taken 'un
. dt-r the provision law which states
that if an officer does not perform
his duly, he may be temporarily sup
planted. r Lawson and Citizens in Command.
