D. C, MARCH 15 WOMAN GOVERNOR HOST T0 WRITERS News Men Sent to Cheyenne Teapot Dome Hearing Meet Mrs. Rose. By the Ansociated Press. CHEYENNE, March 14—With the tension of the Government's suit to annul the Teapot Dome lease tempo- rarily relaxed because of & week end adjournment, a reception was given today for more than a score of East- ern newspaper men and press repre- scntatives by America’s first woman governor, Nellle Tayloe Ross. Gov. Ross met the scribes at the executive chambers shortly before noon One of the bright spots in the mass ©of men gathered for the trial conm- tinues to be a trio of chic New York stenographers attached to the Sinclalr party. Only occaslonally, however, do these young women appear In the hotel Jobby, and then always accom- panied by several escorts. Motlon pictute show “dates” with the trio are the source of good natured rivalry among the prédominating male pop- ulace of Cheyenne's noted hostelry. While newspaper men, attorneys and others connected with the trial have been making widely varied guesses us to the amount Harry F. Sinclalr knd his Mammoth Ol Co. are paying for legal counsel, and other expenses incident to the trial, it b came known today from an authorita- tive source on the Government side that Owen J. Roberts and Atlee Pom- erene, Government counsel, have re- ceived about $10,000 each for their work thus far. Sinclair's lawyers have been re- ferred to as the “million-dollar coun- sel table.” This group is headed by | Martin W. Littleton of New York and J. W. Lacey, veteran Wyoming at- torney, and there are half a dozen others.” Sinclair officials refused, how- ever, to make an estimate of the amount being paid for counsel, de- claring that because so much of the expenses interlocked between Sin- clair, the Mammoth Oil Co. and the = correct estimate can be made. GOVERNOR RACE BELIEVED CLOSED Ex-Gov. Davis Brings Vir- ginia Situation to Head, ! Backing Mapp. Speeial Dispateh to The Star RICHMOND, Va., March 14.—A dec- laration by Former Gov. Westmore- {1and Davis that he will Jend his sup- port to Senator G. Walter Mapp for the governorship, it is believed the list of candidates for the year's cam- paign is closed. The time is growing short for candidates to make an- nouncements. Friends and supporters of Senator Byrd and Mr. Moore, the other two aspirants, think the support of Gov Davis for Senator Mapp will intensify “machine” activities. C. Lee Moore, whose withdrawal has been suggested, has not the re- Mmotest idea of getting out of the race, and at this time is shaping up his platform. One of his closest friends said a day or so ago that Mr. Moore would be right. in the contest up to the finish with more strength than he was being credited with having. The Legislature of next Winter will have to elect two members of the Supreme Court bench—-a judge for the W. Campbell of Washington County, and a successor to Judge Joseph L. {Kelly of Bristol, recently appointed to the bench by Gov. Trinkle to suc- ceed the Iate Judge F. W. Sims. Judge Campbell and Judge Kelly come from the same section. Lach of them fs 1o be a candidate for the place he now holds. The Legislature has in the past refused to select two men from the same section for the court of last resort. “In Washington County thero is now a fight on this very fssue,” said an old political worker from that sec- tion. *“The friends of Judge Campbell are insisting that he made the fight. that he won out In the face of the most stubborn opposition, and that it s the intentlon of the leaders In that | section to make a combined effort to retain him on the bench. “The chances are that the delega- | tion from the ninth district will ask to be allowed to settle this matter, and the friends of Judge Kelly will @sk that the members of the Legia- lature make the selection. That will force the fighting. The ninth district is well organized: it 1s made up of men who know politics, and some of | the more prominent men of that part of the State are backing Judge Camp- bell, just as they did when he was first elected.” .
