OATH IN THE SOiATE
Senator-Elect to Confer With
Mrs. Felton Regarding Pos

In Senate to Gratify Wisher
Of American Women.
(nr ■
Atlanta, Ga-. Nov, 16.—Mrs. W. H.
Felton and Walter George, United
States Senator-elect from Georgia,
will meet here tomorrow for a confer
ence relative to Mrs. Felton being al

8ECRETARY OF 8TATE AND
GOVERNOR NOT IN ACCORD
Atlanta, Nov. 16.—As matters
stand, Secretary of State S. G. Mc
Lendon will, he says, reluse to si,
commission for Senator Wnlter
George or attach to a commission the
great Seal of State, regardless of the
fact that Governor Hardwick has is
sued instructions that the election re
turns be canvassed and the commis
sion signed and delivered to Senator
George “without delay."
There are three technicalities In
volved in the position taken by Sec
retary McLendon, all of which
clearly designed to delay the commis
sioning of Senator George solely, In
order that Mra. William H. Felton may
be sworn In, and In face of the fact
that the financial clerk of the United
States Senate, Charles F. Pace, takes
the position that the day of the "elec
tion" determines the time of the ap
pointment
Secretary McLendon asserts that
far as ho is officially concerned, thero
has as yet been no election held In
Georgia, since he has no "official" In
formation to that effect; that the board
of canvassers, of which he Is a mi
her, has not met, canvassed the
turns and declared the result and
commission can be Issued - until It
does, nor can the board meet until
every county In the state has filed Its
returns with tbe governor, which has
not been done; then, third, that be
will refuse to sign or seal a commis
sion for Senator George that is not of
ficially signed by the governor In per
son after the canvassers have declared
the result.
The situation which has developed
into a direct conflict between the gov
ernor’s office and the secretary of
state comes from the tact that Con
gress convenes on the 20th. On that
day Georgia la entitled to representa
tion by two senators. Mr. McLendon
asserts, other authorities to the con
trary notwithstanding, that Mrs. Wil
liam H. Felton Is .now the United
States senator from Georgia, and that
the Senate will have to recognise and
•eat her. That she will be seated un-

hos against Mrs. Muriel MacSwiney

When arraigned Mrs. MacSwiney,
who is the widow of Terrence Mac
Swiney, late lord mayor of Cork, who
died in prison in 1920 after a hunger
strike, and the others pleaded not
guilty to the charge ot violating a
federal statute designed to protect
foreign representatives in this coun
try from assault or violence. The
charges resulted from their marching
around the British embassy with ban-
dccrying the "English free state
In Ireland and demanding the release
from an Irish free state prison of
Miss Mary MacSwiney, sister of the
late lord mayor, who is now on a
hunger strike in a Dublin prison.
e case for tho government was
based upon the contention that the
statute was aimed to prevent the
'shaming and insulting of a foreign
representative’s home, office or fer-
its” as tantamount to the shaming
insulting of th? representative in
person." It was also argued that the
banners carried by the women before
the embnssy were insulting to ’ Sir
Auckland Geddcs, the British ambas
sador, even though he mny have been
absent from the embassy at the time.

F. Finncrty, president of the Ameri-
Associntion for the Recognition
of the Irish Republic, offered evi
dence to show that the British ambas
sador wns not in the building i
time of the demonstration. It also
