Finally Winding Up With Temporary
Withdrawal of Resolution--Not

Albany, ~ Y, January 3.-The legis.
Iature started off with a rush today.
Aside from the reading in both houses
of the governors message, the most
| important developments were the
election of the speaker James w.
Wadsworth, Jr., thus finally closing
one of the most sensational speaker

in connection with the Equitable Life
Assurance society, which ended in
Brackets withdrawal of the reeolu-
ton for the time being.
The debate on this resolution at
tracted the most attention. Senators
Raines, Malby and Coggeshall led the
defense of Depew, but joined Bracket
In the desire for prompt action upon
the resolution. They eulogized Depew
on the score of many great public ser.
vices. and urgently pleaded for the
immediate defeat of the resolution.
Raines described Depew as a sick
man and objected to any delay in the
matter declaring 1t was brutal to keep
,uch a threat hanging over his head
for even week.
Minority Leader Grady said the
Democrats were not prepared to act
upon such proposition on such short
notice, and asked for reasonable time
In which to confer as to their atti
tude. Senator Marks held that only
careful study of the actual evidence
taken in the insurance investigation,
rather than newspaper reports, should
be the. basis of action in a matter of
such great Importance.
Bracket discIaimed any personal
feeling against Depew and declared
his resolution was In no way con
sequent upon his former opposition TO
Depew' reelection as senator He if
sisted his act was prompted by sense
of public duty. In the end, however,
he asked leave to withdraw his reso.
luton. Raines objected, but the with
drawal was sustained by a vote Ct
twenty-seven to nineteen. 1t was not
regarded as a test vote, several sena'
tors declaring they voted for the with
