CLOVES MAT TER
IN SENATE TO-DAY
Fulton Resolution Calling for Re-
moval OF Bond Of Secrecy
Over Hearings.
A SHARP FIGHT PROBABLE
Friends of Richmond Man viii
Make Effort TO Secure
Favorable Action.

Whether or not the mystery shrouding
the Gloves investigation shall be dis
pelled once and for all and the further
hearings conducted in the open, where
the public, clamoring for hard facts and
obtaining nothing but wild rumors may
at last both see and hear, will lie de-
termined to-day in the Senate by action
of some sort upon a resolution offered
yesterday calling for removal of the
ban of secrecy.
{ From what could be gathered last night
1T will be proposed to consider the reso-
luton itself in executive session Of the
Senate on the ground that it refers to
what occurred in previous executive
session, and should not, therefore, be
taken up in open meeting, Such propo-
sition will prove dstasteful to certain
Senator's. and may meet with vigorous
opposition on the floor.
However this may be. the session,
executive or otherwise, that passes upon
the resolution will be lively beyond any
question. Objection to removing the ban
of secrecy at this stage of the proceed
ings will be very pronounced on several
grounds, the chief of which will be that
il would not be fair and just to the
side already heard and closed to have
only the other side yet to come to be
exploited before the public.
On the other hand the friends of Mr..
Cloves and the others in favor on prin-
ciplc of open session generally. will lead
a fight for the resolution and will COM
promise on nothing. In reference to the
objection indicated they point out that
the ban Is expressly removed also from
the evidence already taken and that this
evidence can be published in full without
more ado. Strong emphasis will be laid
by these gentlemen. upon the injustice
being done, Mr.. Gloves by the vague and
mysterious hints going abroad. and u de-
mand will be made that something be
done to relieve this intolerable sltua-
ton In addition to the sharp fight over
the resolution there may be some In
tercsting revelations as to the investi-
CATION itself when the matter is taken
UP to-day. The advocates of the reso-
luton will be further upheld by the at
titude of the members of the Investigate
ing committee, who viii! be in favor of
open sessions.
