What looked nt one time like nn nmlcable settlement of the dendtoek hos. it is believed, nt the last moment, as sumed the aspect of nn old-time par tisan struggle and a close fight is ex pected with the issue, much In doubt.

But it Is believed that he will not be nble to resist one more at tempt to elect Dr. Herrlck. If this fails, it is believed an agree ment will be made on Dr. Broome oi thut compromise candidates will be sought. The two most likely men in thlseent are Dr. George Wheeler, act ing superintendent of schools, or Dr. Milton I). Potter, superintendent of Mchools In Milwaukee.
