lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrDUNEJ
Trenton, n. j.. Feb. 2s.-In heavy downpour
Of rain tonight big posters were pasted on the Dill.
boards and fences of the city calling on all lto
good people to come out tomorrow and take part
in the anti-racetrack demonstration. The feeling
has not subsidized by any means, but seems still
TO he growing in intensity; and, rain or snlnes
there is likely to he memorable mass-mectln8
here tomorrow noon. President Everard Kemp
shall. of the Citizens League, has telegraphed to
every point in the State calling upon the cia-
zens to come to this city to attend the meeting.
Mr. Barrett. Of Essex, offered a resolution IN
the House this afternoon granting permission to
the Citizens League to use the Assembly Cham
ber for the demonstrations and, although fully
forty members voted in favor Of the resolution
and only few against il, Speaker Flynn declared
the resolution lost. Few if any of the men VINO
supported the Race bills will attend the mass
meeting To be out OF hearing OF to-morrowo
thunder the legislature to-day adjourned for the
week. Tho excuse given out for adjournment SO
early, at reriod Of the session when 1t Is Gus
tomary to sit till the latter part Of the week, was
that most of the members were going to WASH
ington to SEE the Inauguration and needed the
intervening time to make their arrangements
Their haste 10 leave tho capital was correctly
new and stronger expressions of contempt than
have been heretofore heard. Vigorous efforts
were made by the racing last night to get
enough votes to adjourn the Legislature sine die
this week They worked like beavers in the rooms
of the members and were still at 1t at o'clock
this morning, but could get only twenty members
to agree to vote for the proposition. The other
members had bills before the Legislature not yet
acted upon, and they demanded attention for their
measures. They got promises that their bills
would be passed, but refused to be catoled by nero
words When their bills were acted upon they
said they would think about sne-die adjourn
mcnt.
When the House to-day adopted a resolution
providing that when adjournment took place II
should be until next Monday night. Mr.. Hutchin-
son. Of Mercer, moved that the resolution be re-
scnded, saying its adoption was due to an agree
ment among the racetrack supporters. who wanted
to escape the indignation meeting to be held in the
Assembly Chamber tomorrow.
Il know of no mass-meeting to be held in TINS
chamber Tomorrow remarked Speaker Flynn.
Then you are the only member Of the l"gs-
lature who is not aware Of the matter replied
Mr. Hutchinson 1T has been advertised from one
end of the State TO the other. The people OF New
Jersey have repeatedly been refused a hearing on
these bills and now they coming here to eX-
press their wrath.
They have received permission to use THIS
chamber" said the Speaker, and the House VIII
grant them no such permission. The Superin-
tendcnt of the State House has been notified 70
that effect.
Subsequently, in the discussion, the Speaker
acknowledged that lie was strong friend OF tho
Racing bills, but declared that he had opposed
adjournment for the week to-day. The House
calendar was loaded with business, and he de-
sired to see it cleared; but majority OF the
members wanted to get away, and they carried
tho adjournment resolution. lhe motion "
rescind that resolution was defeated, 20 70 -4'
Mr. Lane of Union, created another little stir
to-day, when bill affecting railroads was under
discussion. by announcing that his bill file had
been robbed of the copy of the act lie saia
i, was strange that all copies Of railroad bllls
mysteriousy disappeared The members hIes
were tampered with in their absence, and 1t was
also a fact that although hundreds OF them were
printed for the use of the members, IL was never
possible TO get Il single copy out OF the nillroSm:
