The Lexow Committee Will Then

A. Great labors.
Efforts to Make Political Capital
Out of the Adjournment.

There is no probability that the Lexow
Committee will continue its present Sum-
mer session after the close OF the com
ing week.
Mr.. Con, the counsel OF the Commit
tee, has decided that an adjournment
shall then be taken until the Fall. and
the majority of the Senators will &C
Qniesce in that determination.
1t is barely possible that two or three
extra days may be consumed in finish
Ing up the work in hand. and clearing
the decks preparatory to resuming the
inquiry in the Fall. but that will be
the extreme limit of any extension of
time beyond next week.
\ There were rumors to-day of a dis
agreement between Mr.. Goff and Chair
man Lexow as to the advisability of
continuing the sessions of the Commit
tee through the dog-days, but there Is
no misunderstanding upon this point
while l am personally in favor Of
continuing the sessions az long as there
ts amy work for us to do or any evil
dence to hear" said Chairman Lexow
to an Evening World" reporter, land
have felt this way from the beginning.
MI. Gon's views on this matter must be
NohSiueItu, anu Cun say lIldt L 10 not
expect the Committee will continue in
session after next week.
Mr.. Gon wa3 not at his ONCE this
morning and II was said that he had
gone out OF town for rest.
I" He needs it," said n gentleman who
Is In close relations with him, and 1t is
wonder to me that he has not broken
down under the strain before this.
mot counting the two months which
he spent In preparing the evidence to be
presented to the Committee. he has been
working practically night and day for the
past i've weeks that the Committee has
been IN session.
He has given his personal attention
TO every detail of the testimony. has
vestigation, and has neglected his health
and personal comfort absolutely. In or
der to make a success Of his work.
THAT he has accomplished wonders
every man will admit, and now he in
sists upon adJourning simply because IL
would be madness for him to continue
his iabors during the present hot SEA-
The object In trying to force the Com
mittee to continue the hearings through
July and August is very apparent, ac-
eording to the Views of Mr.. COTS
Tammany Hall, he said, to, put MIR.
Con in a hole" so to speak.
IL. is well known that he is worn out
with hts work, and. as "A matter OF fact,
4 was decided by all the members OF
the Committee Senator Cantor includ-
ed. several weeks ago. that the Commit
tee should adjourn for the Summer on
July /.
While those who are hostile to the
investigation cannot prevent the ad-
3ournment now by making 1t appear
that Mr.. Con- Is insisting upon such
step In opposition to the desire OF the
minority Of the COMMITTEES. they expect
to make political capital against him
next Fall. .H'
Other friends OF Mr.. Gof say that
TammaDy Hall would InIiht fpr n hp r
reasons like to have the investiga ton
proceed in order that II might be more
quickly finished. and time be utilized
before election for repairing broken
fences.
Mr.. Goff. they say, however. cares moth
Ing for any of these wire-pulling schemes.
and as the success OF the whole inves-
tigntion thus far has been due to his
efforts alone. and there is no one who
could take his place. the Committee has
no alternative but to yield to his wishes.
