Supposed-The Assembly Votes TO Adjourn
Next Week-The Apportionment scheme.
ALBANY, May 2.-Hamilton Fish, Jr., Mr..
Gilbert. and most OF the Tammany representa-
tlves are working tooth and nail to try and
drum up the necessary clghty-six votes to pass
the Bonded Indebtedness bill over the veto of
tho Governor. Mr.. Fish. having promised that
tho bill should become a law. as he also did of
the original Salary bill and tho Police Pension
Fund act. feels aggrievcd at the way in which
the Governor and the Senate have overriddon
his promises and blasted his boasted influence.
and he sees in the passing Of this bill over tho
veto the only chance to redeem any Of his
promises. Mr. Gilbert. who Is supposed to bo
more deeply interested in the passage OF the res
olution continuing the Throop Code fraud than
anything else. II said TO see in this an oppor-
tuniy to trade of votes to override the veto for
votes in favor Of his Code resolution. The Tam
many representatives are OF course bound to vote
to override the veto and the result Ia that the
amount OF log rolling upon this question now
going on in the Assembly exceeds anything
ever before Witnessed even In the New York
Legislature. When the veto was read to the
House Mr.. Fish said that he would get n solid
Republican vote to override It. but when he
came to count noses it Ia said that he found
several independent Republicans who refused
to be delivered upon his dctum. A pressure
has also been brought to bear upon the rural
Democrats who have measures pending. by
promising 70 help them out II they will vote
against the Governor. But their success In this
direction has not been iatterinR.
After sharp struggle the Assembly this
morning by vote Of G7 to 49, passed rs,ssolu-
tion to adjourn sine die on the 10th inst. There
Is desire on the part OF the friends Of the Ex-
ciso bill and other measures 10 postpone the
adjournment, until the 18th inst. AZ they do not
believe will be possible 70 reach definite ac-
tion upon those measures by the 10th. and nm
attempt will bc made TO reconsider this vote and
recall the resolution from the Senate. which
body Is understood to be in favor Of adjourninG
at the earliest date lt is also urged by some Of
