Democrats May Pass Election on Henney New Deal Chiefs Feel GOP Should Call Special Vote to Fill Senate Vacancy Democratic State leaders were today inclined to leave to Lieutenant Governor elect Samuel S. Lewis the business of calling a special election to fill the vacancy arising out of the challenge of the right of Dr. P. J. Henney, of McKees Rocks, to hold the offices of Senator and coroner of Allegheny county at one and the same time.

Resignation of the Allegheny Senator is expected to be in the hands of Lieutenant Governor Thomas Kennedy either today or tomorrow and while it will be acknowledged, the Hazleton man is said to feel that owing to shortness of time before the assembling of the Legislature on January 3 it would be best not to announce a special election for the balance of the term, Henney's seat will be vacant when the Senate reorganizes. GOP Will Act Promptly It is probable the Republicans will not lose much time in calling a special election. However, they will need the seat and it is possibe Frank J. Harris, present Allegheny county chairman, who lost out to Henney two years ago, may be a candidate. Harris served a couple of terms as Senator and knows the ways of the Senate.

With Henney out and a Republican organization of the Senate thereby assured, there was a speeding up of gossip about Senate places with prospects that Philadelphia would have considerable to say. The boom for George F. Holmes, of that city, for secretary, moved along today. Over a dozen names have been mentioned for the post, some without consent. Litigation over the Salus Le vin suit may be slowed up as result of the Henney action, although Philadelphia Democrats want to continue the ef fort to save Levin, believing there will be times in the coming session when their strategy will require votes.
