VALIDITY OF OKLAHOMA
VOTES IS QUESTIONED
Presidential Returns Not Ceritfted
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 period 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.

HUNTRESS TO GET
MIND EXAMINATION
Test Ordered Before Impos
ing Sentence in Shooting
of Husband.
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 Mre. 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 second-degree assault is five
years’ imprisonment.
The convicted 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. “This
is nice,” when she saw the ambulance
awaiting her. She was wearing a black
coat and a large red hat.
In furnishing information for her
history card at Bellevue, she said she,
was 48 years old, lived at the Ward*,
man Park Hotel, in Washington, and
that her “nearest friend and
was her husband. /
