Mrs. Albrecht says that of late her

PROSPECTS OF A DEADLOCK.
Senators and Assemblymen in a
War of Retaliation.
Voorhees, May Decline to Become u
Circuit Judge.

TRENTON. N. j.. May New Jer-
sey's legislators nave commenced to suf-
fer from the heat. and 1t Is expected
that they will take their departure from
the StatA House next Friday.
This session of the Legislature Is the
longest in the history OF the state.
1t has now been In session seventeen
weeks.
From appearances here this morning,
there Is trouble brewing over the APP
pointment OF Major f.. J. Anderson as
Supervisor OF the State Prisons. For
three weeks the Majors name has been
before the Senate awaiting contirma-
ton, but there has been such Il strong
opposition from both Senators and As
semblymen that his name Is still un-
confirmed; The Assemblymen want the
office made a fixture Of the Joint meet
Ing and until the Senate refuses to con-
firm the Majors name and pass the bill
placing the appointment In joint meet
ing. they will not pass any Senate bills.
The Senate has retaliated in "A like
n on House bills. and as the
calendars OF both Houses are becoming
slim, a deadlock Is imminent.
Gov. Werts sent to the Assembly this
morning his veto message on Assembly
bills Il; Is. and g, the acts deprivins
Capitol. OF his office and placing 1t in the
hands OF the Comptroller and Treasurer.
In his message the Governor says he re-
CARDS the law sought to be repealed as
wise and beneficial.
II Is possible that Senator Voorhees,.
who was yesterday appointed Circuit
Court Judge by Coy. Werts, may not ac-
cept the honor. This is his first year as
Senator from Union County, ana his con-
hrmation as Judge would mean that he
would have 10 resign as Senator. and
this would make "A deadlock in thai
body. A new election in Union County
might result in the election of "A Demo
crat, so Senator voorhees, will, 1t Is
said. decline the nomination.
