SPLIT ON CALLING PLATr.
Maxet Committee Calls . Halt OF
Counsel MOhs, Action.

Counsel M0ss' Action.
NEW YORK, Dec. Sit was developed
yesterday that the Mazet Investigating
Committee terminated its public sessions
on Wednesday at it's meetings in the Astor
House. because Frank Moss, counsel for the
committee. either had subp6enaed Thomas
C. Platt to appear or had expressed his de-
termination to do so in such q way that the
members of the committee saw he was not
to be withstood. 1t was known that Mr..
Moss. who has taken his work in the COM
mittee very much to heart. had determined
10 have a spectacular ANAL session. and 1t
was also known that he was tremendously
disappointed when the committee decided
to hold no more sessions for the taking
Of testimony. He regarded the action Of
the committee as impolfte to him, to say
the least Mr.. Moss wrote letter on the
subject to Chairman Mazet. which neither
saw fit to make public today.
the MaZet Investigating Committee had
ever thought OF ending the hearings so
suddenly until the members got their morn
ing mail on Wednesday. Each member OF
the committee received letter from Mr..
Moss in which he said in effect that, to
protect its dignity from the charges Of
partisanship which have been made against
it. and to make the work really effective.
the committee must summon Thomas C..
Platt to the stand. 1t was said yesterday
that Mr.. Moss had put the matter before
the committee in such way that it was
absolutely necessary for them to summon
Senator Platt or else to discontinue the
public hearings, and they chose to let the
committee go out of existence as a testi-
mony taking body through the excuse that
no quorum was present.
They did not notify Mr.. Moss of their
decision. and he had $50 witnesses, repre-
senting all the city departments. under sub
poena to appear
