Wickersham Won't Interfere.
That Washington, D. C„ is keep-
ing up with the capital removal liti-
gation is believed here. It is also be-
lieved that Attorney General Wicker-
sham will respect the attitude of the
state courts upon the matter. When
the Guthrie representatives saw Mr
Wickersham at Chicago and discussed
the situation with him, he advised
, them that he could not even take eog-
1 nizance of the situation so long as the
case was in the state courts.
I'nited States Attorney John Em-
bry has received a telegram from At-
torney General Wickersham's office
j which further indicates that no inter-
ference may be expected.
'As we are now advised," savs the
telegram, "this department contem-
plates no action."
When it is recalled that this mes-
i sage is the only communication re-
H(,n ceived by local I'nited States authori-
J ties relative to the matter, it is taken
as Mr. Wickersham's official declara-
tion to Oklahoma that he does not in-
tend to attempt any interference at
this time.
