VIII There BE n Quorumr
ESPECIAL TO THE EvENIsa WORLD
ALBANY, July 16.-None of the members of
the Legislature, except Gen. Hustled, have
yet arrived and IL is evident that the session
tomorrow will open with barely o quo
rum In each house, and II may prove
necessary to order q call Of the Assembly if
not OF the Senate tomorrow, and then ad-
lourn over q day until enough members are
Gov. Hill naturally declines to announce
Id advance &c Of its presentation the
morrow, but it will undoubtedly place
Of the Legislature tor its failure to act upon
the Prison Labor Appropriation bill,
and insist either that SOM new system of
employing prison labor be at once adopted
by law. or that enough money be appro-
priated to carry on the present State account
plan.
The Democratic members OF the Legisla-
ture will leave the responsibility of selection
between these plans with the Republican
majority.
Individually they are committed against
the continuation Of the state-account plan.
TO which all the labor organizations Of the
State are opposed.
The Republican Legislature will find even
greater difficulty in meeting the prison labor
problem than Republican Senators at WASH
ington found in drawing q tariff bill.
The Republican leaders of the Legislature
at the last session we've all committed
the State account plan, but In view Of the
hostile attitude of the labor organizations
several Republican members will refuse to
follow the lead.
AS q matter Of direct politics the action of
the Legislature during the next few days
will be more of q factor in the national cam-
paign, so far as organized labor IL concerned,
than the tariff question.
It Is highly improbable hat Gov. Hill will
bring before the Legislature any other SUBJ
through the inability of the Republican ma
lority to act. when he may call up the anti
Trust legislation.
Republican members of the Legislature
will be guided largely by the advice Of ex-
LArEa.-AtI O'Clock but three members
are on the ground they are Laeut.-Goy.
S SSssssr Gen and w james " y sb hastsd' q, Of West West
cratic leader in the Assembly.
The early appearance, of Cen. Hustled has
created Q report that he might try to get,
elected Speaker tomorrow. The General
laughed at the Idea.
TO THE EVENING WORLD correspondent
the General said 1T would be absurd to
enter Q contest for the Speakership ct o ses-
sion hat will last, III all probability, but two
or three days. Speaker Cole will WELD the
of the Assembly will no doubt be permanently
] doubt if any subject besides the Prison APP
preparation bill is touched upon either in the
Governors message or during the session"
MI. Sheehan, after calling upon the Cover
nor, hurried 10 Troy to consult with Chair
Edward Murphy, jr.. Of the Democratic
State Committee.
The Executive Committee meets tomorrow
at the Hoffman House for organization. Il
10 said that ID. Cady Herrlck has designs
upon the Craftsmanship of this committee.
The advocates oil Gov. Hilps denomination
say they do not propose that he shall win the
prize. Mr.. Herrick said to H EVENING
WoRLD correspondent to-day that under n
consideration would he accept the office.
This ID given out, 1t Is said. for the purpose
of concealing his real int ton.
Chairman Murphy will ask that the com
mIttee be enlarged for campaign work. The
Executive Committee can authorize him to
appoint as many additional members as It

be increased by four, making the total hum
Der fourteen. IL now consists of Messrs
