OKLAHOMA CITY, October {Oklahoma's political chaos assumed further complications today as mem- " bers of the state legislature prepared for their second attempt to convene in extraordinary seseion to.consider impeachment charges against Gov. J. C. Walton. With legislators reported already gathering for the assembly on Octo- ‘ber 17, attention was focused on the executive maneion, with the expecta- tion that Gov. Walton would define his attitude toward the meeting. From well informed sources came the report that Aldrich Blake, the ex- ecutive councellor, would not’ consent ,to use again of the militia to halt {the gathcring, and some went o far {as to say that as a last resort he | wonld recommend that the governor. call the legislature in a final coup ‘detat.
