VALIDITY OF OKLAHOMA VOTES IS QUESTIONED Presidential Returns Not Ceritfied in Time Specified Under Law. By the Associated Press. OKLAHOMA CITY. January 31.—A question of whether President-elect Her- bert Hoover would receive Oklahoma's 10 electoral votes, which he won by a majority of some 170,000 votes, was raised yesterday in the office of the State attorney general. Because the presidential returns were not certified to the secretary of state within the perlod provided by law, the attorney general was asked whether the State’s votes could be counted legally. Graves Leeper, secretary of state, asked the attorney general for an opinion. The certification of ‘ returns reached him only today, although it was dated January 2 and signed by Henry S. Johnston, who was suspended from the governor's office January 14. The reason for the delay was not explained.

NING STAR,. HONTRES 70 GET MIND EXAMIMATN Test Ordered Before Impos- ing Sentence in Shooting of Hushand. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, January 31.—Mrs. Esther Evans de Forest Wilson was committed to the psychopathic ward at Bellevue for medical observation yesterday on an order signed by Justice Charles C. Nott, jr., of general sessions. Mrs. Wilson was convicted last week of second-degree assault with a recom- mendation of clemency in connection with the shooting of her husband, Dal- lett H. Wilson, last March. She was awaiting sentence in Jefferson Market Jail when notified that she was to be taken to Bellevue. Judge Nott, who is ill at his home, 136 East Sixty-seventh street, explained that he had decided to test Mrs. Wil- son's sanity because of the number of letters he had received since her con- viction expressing the opinion that she had not been normal mentally for several years. All the letters were written by per- sons who know Mrs. Wilson, and they pointed out that she had been irra- tional for some time, that her mother had died in a sanitarium and that she had passed six months not long ago in a sanitarium. Judge Nott said that he did not ex- pect to be able to leave his home for two weeks and in the mean time he thought it advisable to have Mrs. Wil- son under observation and thereby ob- tain expert medical opinion on her con- dition. The maximum penalty she may receive for ls;oond-geme assault is five ears’ imprisonment. & The cmx':viched woman left the jail in a closed hospital ambulance, accom- panied by two nurses and a matron. She appeared to be in the best of spirits and took occasion to remark, ° is nice,” when she saw the ambulance awaiting her, She was wearing a black coat and a large red hat.
