quorum in each. most of the courtrymen being on
hand good and early, thanks TO the 'scare" given

THE CHARTER "MUDDLE"
created a good deal OF gossip on all sides, but it
was generally conceded that Mayor Havemeyer is
IN no danger inasmuch as the Dongan and Mont
romery charters are not repealed by the new
charter. The Montgomery charter provides that
sthe Mayor shall hold Office until his successor
shah be appointed and until he shah duly qualify.n

damentaf law under which the city was incorpor-
ated and represent q law older than the constitu-
ten Of the country.
The Governor returned with his veto tonight
the bill to provide for the payment Of the Clerk OF

OF Comptroller Green, and in this respect 1t will
possibly affect large number OF other bills OF
somewhat similar import. The message, by re-
quest Of Senator Murphy. was allowed to lie over
until tomorrow. The following is the message
