which the Governor had with the Republican
legislative leaders, that the bill should
be recalled tomorrow and sent back to
him again, 80 that he may have an addi-
tiona ten days In which 10 consider 1t.
There are some who believe that the
success Of the bill might be endangered
II It shouldhe sent back to the Legislature,
but II is insisted that II the measure we're
simply recalled and returned to the Gov
ernor again without amendment, the mem
bers Of the Legislature would have no reason
for not voting for the hill again in accord
ance with Caucus action. Then 1t Ia the
Governors plan to have a new mortgage
tax bill introduced to meet the objection
10 the machinery provided in the proposed

expects will be accorded him by the Legis-
lature to consider the original mortgage

the Governor would sign the new mort
The new Till would correct the operating
machinery Of the proposed law as pointed
out toy Mr.. Van lngen Of New York city,
representing the real estate allied interests,
and would also exempt mortgages Of build
ing and loan associations from the tax.

diture- Of money at primaries and elections

These bills will now go to the Assembly
for concurrence. They were introduced in
the Assembly 10y MIR. Palmer, the minority
door leader.
But for the watchfulness Of New York
City Senators. Senator Ambler's bill, pro-
viding for the licensing Of milk dealers
In New York city and other parts Of the
State, would have slipped through the
senate tonight The bill provides for the
licensing of these dealers after the State
Commissioner Of Agriculture shall have
passed on their moral character. This
provision was ridiculed, and after Senator
Elsberg called attention 10 it the bill was
laid aside.

a few minutes at the side Of Lieut.. Gov.

A new combination Of legislative interests
mnde itself apparent tonight. In the
Tast II remained for Assemblyman Bedell
Of Orange TO take care Of Senator Good
sell 8 railroad legislation when it reached the
lower house. But tonight Assemblyman
Arthur C. Wade. the uresome tRlker from
Chautauqua county, figured in that role.
Senator Goodsell's til, giving the New
York Central Railroad the right 70 straighten
its read at Spuyten Duyvil and in Herkimer
county, came up on the order Of second
reading. Objection was raised, but MIR.
Wade explained it's merits and the bill
was advanced TO a third reading. The fact
that MIR. Wade posed as having charge Of
the bill caused considerable surprise.

which prohibits the blaoklisting Of en-
pioyees, was advanced TO a third reading
IN the Assembly, and then reoommitted
TO the General Laws Committee for hea:-
ing.
