DOVEn, Del., Jon, 6.-Democrats this afternoon lost tho contest fight In tho State Senato by falling Into a parlia mentary trap laid by llepubllcans, after a "repetition of yesterday's bipartisan flsht. After rival clerks had sought to drown each other's voices in calling tolls and Democrats charged a. Hepubllcan clorle with stealing a 'roll-call book from a Demooratlo clerk, tho llepubllcans ap pealed from a decision of the chair made yesterday, Tho appeal was based on a resolution calling for tho opening of tho ballots In a disputed election district. Tho appeal was put to a vote. Thero was a faint chorus of "ayo" from tho Domocrotlo sldo. Tho llepubllcans thundered "no." Tho Lieutenant Gover nor announced his decision had been re versed nnd tho contest, whloh brought about ono of Delaware's most bitter poll tlcnl fights, became history. Tho llepubllcans, when they entered tho Senato chamber this morning, did not nt tempt "steam-roller" methods against tho Dcmocratlo Lieutenant Governor, but pro ceeded on tho theory that their organi zation yesterday was legal, and that It wna regular for the Lieutenant Governor to preside. President Pro Tern Walker did not take tho dais. Tho roport of tho Hulcs Committee was adopted, tho Democrats refraining from voting. A request by Senator Gormloy, Dcmocratlo floor leader, for an explana tion ot tho rules, was Ignored. Senator Hart, Democrat, and Senator Anderson, Republican, wero appointed a commltteo to Inform tho House tho Sen ate was orgonlzod. After remaining from tho chamber, while the Democrats watted for a quor um, tho Republicans took their Beats shortly boforo noon. Tho bipartisan clash was renewed with fury. Senator Anderson objected to tho temporary clerk renoing tno roil. The Republicans In structed their clerk to call It. nnd tho two clerks yelled nt tho top of their lungs. When tho Republicans moved for tho reading of tho minutes, tho Demo crats moved that the reading bo dispensed with. This brought on tho nrst clash. Clerks Walls and Dover called tho roll simultaneously! It was after this that Boycr's roll-call book disappeared. Senator Gormloy declared he had de tected "an ungentlcmnnly net on tho port of Reading Clerk Bradley" nnd asked that ho bo Instructed to return the book. Tho Republicans Ignored Gormlcy's np penl. The Democrats then pressed that tho order of business, the contest, bo resumed, tho ballot boxes having previously been carried Into the chamber. The Repub licans then took tho victorious appeal. The Senate took a recess until 2:20. IZZET PASHA WAR CAPTIVE "Mnchlavelll of Turkey" Reported a Prisoner. PnTROGRAD, Jnn.
