COURT HELD
FIRMLY TO TO
THE RULES

This morning In the supreme court
l.. s. Hoffman asked for ar order en-
terlng on the roll OF attorneys OF the
court the name of Richard Ward
Green Welling.
Mr. Hoffman stated that Mr. Well
ing had been a member of the New
York bar for 20 years and resided in
this state. where he paid taxes on
both real and personal estate, some
months every year and that the board
of tax examiners, in view OF the rule
that attorneys must be actual resi-
dents, thought it best TO have the mat
ter brought TO the courts attention
directly.
Mr.. Welling made a statement saying
that he wished TO deal fairly, and even
though II might result in the denial of
his request, would say that II was
his desire to still vote in New York
state.
Chief Justice Douglas, after consul
tation with the other members of the
court said they hoped TO see Mr.. Well
ing often before them as counsel in
cases, but IL seemed best that attor
neys should he limited. to actual resi-
dents, go that the court might always
have Jurisdiction over them, and as Mr.
yelling had declared that his domicile
would continue TO be in New York
state, his petition was denied.

cratic state central committee will meet
at 1 80 tomorrow afternoon at the Office
of Colonel Il. H. Quinn.
Matters pertaining To the state con-
vention to be held ON May l. TO select a
candidate for United States senator VIII
be considered.
The committee Is very greatly encOur-
aged by the interest and enthusiasm
shown among members OF the party all
over the state; and lt is believed that
the action OF the committee I'm deciding
TO hold such convention has done more
TO awaken interest and TO unite the
Democrats everywhere than any party
move made for a long time.
IL Is likely that the general nrogram
OF the convention viii be determined
upon at tomorrows meeting. and with
the calling OF the caucuses in this city
the political pot is likely to boil i'm live
ly fashion from now on.
