Arthur Mullen, democratic national committeeman of Omaha and former student of the Fremont Normal school who is well known in Fremont, has donated his services to the governor and, with C. Radke, Bryan's appointee to head the legal department of the trade and commerce branch, is representing the governor. Immediately upon the opening of court Attorney J. C. Cook, of Fremont, asked for continuance of the hearing on the ground that Bliss's personal counsel C. M. Skiles of Lincoln, was out of the state and that the notice of the hearing had not been given "until July 10. He said he had been brought into the case as an attorney for Bliss only few minutes before court opened and had not had the time to prepare an answer to the governor's petition asking for the dismissal of Bliss. He said Skiles would return the 14th and suggested a postponement until the 15th. Mullen responded that Bliss had ample counsel in the room including the Fremont attorney and that postponement should not be granted. The governor has discharged Bliss, Mullen said, adding that he could see no difference in the application than if Bliss resigned. Judge Spear overruled Cook's motion. Attorney Skiles, son of M. Skiles, then called attention to the wording of the order that the judge would be asked to sign. After Attorney Mullen read it and, as specified the turning over of all the receiver bank effects, postponement of the hearing was granted until 1 o'clock Monday afternoon.
