A New-York lawyer who has been examining a

the Bipartisan Election Inspectors law. gave II q
his opinion yesterday that the Republican Suu

the meeting OF the Republican State Conventioa
provided that body convenes and adjourns before
the end Of September. He based his opinion on the
clause in Section OF the act. which says that

tees are to file with the Police Board their lists Of
inspectors and election clerks. but II more than one
list OF either political party is submitted 70 the
Police Board the question OF which is the regular

however the regularity OF the organizations sA
hitting lists shall not have been passed upon by IN
State Convention before August u. then the Stau
Committee appointed by or organized In pursuance
Of such State Convention shall decide the question
OF regularity.
This the lawyer contends Is the situation -
regards the Republican party. The State Conven-
ton not having declared up to August 10 which
regular the Republican (AIilhoand) organization
OF the city and county OF New-York. or the George
Bliss organization, the question goes 10 the state
Committee. but the Police Board may defer III
appointment OF election boards until September
30 the Republican State Committee may postpone
its act OF recognition until after the state Con-
ventlon is held. provided II meets long enough DC.
fore September 30 to give the State Committee and
the Police Board time 10 perform their duties. IL
was therefore argued that II the state ComTnittee
desired to throw the actual responsibility OF de'
Gliding between the two organizations OF this civ
upon the State Convention. IL could do so by tag
ing the outlined.
The impression prevailed In political circles -
tsrday that the Republican State Convention ~
likely to he held in either the first or third week
OF September. As the National Encampment OF me
Grand Army OF the Republic takes place this yea!
I'm the second week OF September. In Plttsburg ana
many delegates and alternates are likely 10 %
Grand Army men, II generally agreed that t.t
State Convention would not be called within the
dates OF September 10 and IL. but that IL wovn
take place either about september or SeptempT
~ The choice OF either date would leave ample
time for the State Committee 10 meet afterwara
and decide the question OF regularity and for tne
Police Board 10 appoint the election boards ~
fore September 80.
