Arguments in Louisiana Case Conclude As Evidence Vote Looms
After five and a half hours of further argument the Electoral Commission adjourned to 10 o'clock tomorrow for a secret session. At 4 p.m. a vote on admitting evidence was expected, with the outcome likely to determine the Hayes Wheeler tally. Evarts led the Republican side contending State power over electors and federal counting limits, while Campbell argued the Returning Board’s illegality and state sovereignty.

Adjourment Tightly Contested by Commission in Florida Case
The passage discusses a party line vote on adjourning until 10 or a quarter after 10 the next morning, likening it to counting a State’s vote. It contrasts Democratic counsel shifts on commission powers, arguing the Florida case treated it as a judicial body, while the Louisiana view cast it as legislative. Seven Democrats allegedly obstruct proceedings, favor long debates and recesses, delaying a March 4 decision.
