SEATTLE. July 0— A Times spec

gate George B. Grigsby, from Alaska*
was seated yesterday without a dis
senting vote upon former speaker
Champ Clark’s motion. The House
took no action following Delegate
Grigsby’s statement that the last
Alaska Territorial legislature passed
a law providing that election results
could be sent to the canvassing board
by telegraph. James Wickersham con
tented that the returns were incom
plete on account of long distance from
which to come.
The Times special dispatch says
that Wickersham did not tell Congress
of the law permitting returns by wire.
Grigsby and Wickersham (are to
take testimony in the Alaska contest
which will probably not be decided un
til after the completion of the next
session.
