THE EVENING LONG AND CYR ROW HEADED FOR GOURT Ousted Lieutenant Governorf Says He Will Abide by ! Law in Battle. By the Ascocia‘ed Press. BATON ROUGE, La.. October 16.—1 Louisiana’s gubernatorial revolution apparently is going to be decided by| battles purely legal. | Gov. Huey P. Long, the besieged rested his armed guards of State hig! way police today following the a nouncement of his licutenant-governor. | Paul N. Cyr, chief pretender to the| executive’s chair, that he would leave the matter to the courts Csr, who voluntarily took the Gov- ernor’'s oath at Shreveport and de- manded that Long abdicate because of his recent election to the United States Senate, said last night he had “no in- tention of going to Baton Rouge to start | trouble.” Abides by Courts. He made the snnouncement in a ! campaign speech at Alexandria (he is seeking election to the governorship in the next voting) and added he was go- ing “to abide by decision of the couits, because I am a law-abiding man.” The third claimant to the Governor's office. Walter L. Aldrich, unemployed resident of Shreveport, who took the oath after Cyr, and warned he, too, would file an ouster suit against Long, remained silent today. He previously said he was coming here to “take pos- session” of the office Meanwhile, there was an open sea- son on the office of lieutenant governor. Lieutenant Governorship in Doubt. Alvin O. King of Lake Charles, presi. dent pro tempore of the State Senate, was on the pav roll as lieutenant gover- nor after Long had Cyr's name struck off as he laid claim to the governor- ship. But he was only one of those who said the job was theirs, He has taken the cath L. D. Smith of Benton claimed he had as much right to the office as King and also took the oath to become “one of the licutenant governors.” E. H. Reed, a Shreveport groceryman, re- marked that times were “sort of hard,” and that he also expected to take the | oath for lieutenant goverrer because “the third Governor ought to have a lieutenant governor.” Cyr Is seriously continuing his de- nunciation of Long and his plans for filing his ouster suit. At the capitol Long called the situation a “comedy of modern politics.” Long Names King. Long has recognized King as lieu- ( tenant governor and King's creden- | tials as such have been filed by Miss Alice Lee Grosjean, secretary of State. When the credentials of Cyr and Aldrich for Governor arrived, however, the secretary of State announced the intention not to file them away be-! cause she cid not consider the Gov- ernor's office_vacant Yesterday Long said his fear of an invasion of his administration by Cyr, should the chief executive leave the State, now was gone. “Cyr,” he said, “Is out." Cyr. elected iieutenant governor as | running mate, once was his| close friend. but they had disagree- | ments, notably over an execution, | which resulted in felitical enmity, Long PRECEDENT BACKS LONG. veral Senators Have Served as Gov- ernors While in Senate. By the Associated Press _Ample_ precedent exists for the posi- | tion of Huey P. Long in retaining his | post as Governor of Louisiana after his | election to the Senate. Half a dozen Senators in the past are shown by records at the Capitol | to have continued seriing s Governors | of their States after being chosen for | the Eenate. i Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wis- consin, father of the present Senator, chose to continue as Governor for more than a year after his election to the Senate. and nearly a year after his| term began. La Follette wes elected for the term beginning March 4. 1905, but rematned as Governor of Wisconsin until Janu- ary 4. 1906 | . Others who did likewise wer> Senator Johnson, Republican, California: former Senator David B._Hill of New York, former Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, former Senator James L. Alcorn of Mis- sissippi and former Senator Philip Allen { of Rhode Is'and Several Senators have postponed tak- | ing oaths in order to serve a little longer | in the House of Representatives. Sen- | ator Glass, Democrat, Virginia, was ap- pointed to the Senate in November, 1919 but continucd as Secretary of the Treas- ury in President Wilson's cabinet until | February, 1920. Gov. Long is also following precedent, by refusing to accept his Senate pay while continuing as Governor. All of those in the past did likewise. Long has notified Disbursing Officer Pace of the Senat~ that he does not | want his pay or other allowances until | Fe takes his oath. There will be noth- ing to prevent him then, if he sheuld wish, from accepting the accumulated back par. 1 e HUNT TAXI THIEF Polic= Alco Seek Two Colored Men in Attempted Robbery.

De Servi is the former dog catcher who, a few years ago, sneaked up frem bzhind some bushes and pounced upon a dog on the grounds of a fashionable estate, only to find the hound was made of iron. The resuit was not pleasing to him and he subsequently went out of the dog-catching business altogether.
