PARTISAN BILLS TO BE VETOED

TRENTON, June 10. lSa0.-When the
Legislature reconvenes tonight vetoes
are expected from the Governor to at
least seven of the partisan bills rushed
through both Houses within an hour or
two on Thursday afternoon. The object
of the bills is to give the Republicans
control of the municipal Governments OF
New Brunswick and Newark, and to
strengthen the Voorhees, county elective
Judiciary law, passed last March
Twenty-Five bills, passed by the House
on Thursday. have been delivered to the
Governor Thirty-seven in all have been
introduced. and there are one or two
more to follow. The vetoes will all be
overridden by the Republicans, but, as
they must be read one day and acted on
the next. it will take until Wednesday
at least to finish up the work. and the
plans of the leaders contemplate ad-
iournment on that day. but whether
sine die or only until October has not
been decided.

advisability of impeaehing Secretary
of State Kelsey. The paper was cireu-
lated in a caucus, and it was late in the
afternoon before Kelsey's friends heard
of the movement. They set to work at
once to check it, and Saturday twelve OF
the signers had withdrawn their names,
leaving just enough TO secure the eau
Gus The number is likely to be further
reduced by tonight, and promln-
ent politicians of both parties are of the
opinion that there will be no impeach-
ment proceedings, especially if indicf-
ments are found against Secretary Kel-
sey by the Mercer county Grand Jury.
This evening the nominations of
Law Judges Smith and Talman, of the
Court of Errors and Appeals. and the
nomination of a successor to Justice Al
fred Reed, of the Supreme Court, are ex-
pected. There is strong probability
that both the Lay Judges will be re-
jected because of their votes in the Court
of Pardons that resulted in the pardon
