Mr. KeIsey's Action Causes Com
ment in albany.

Albany Feb 1j.-Considerable Importance IS
being attached by some people here. In view of
the differences between Otto Kelsey. Insurance
/ Superintendent. and Governor Hughes. to the
fact that Frank A Gremmler is back at work
in the department.
GremmIer. who is a brother-in-law OF the late
John A. Mccall. president of the New York Life.
was suspended some two weeks ago for breach
OF the department rules. He went back 20
work yesterday, sadder and wiser. but some per-
sons profess 70 see in this reinstatement further
defiance Of tho Governor by Kelsey. and the
result Of a possible dicker by Kelsey for Demo-
cratic support in the Senate.
The Democrats. If tho Republicans split be-
tween Kelsey and the Governor. Will hold the
key to the situation in the Kelsey affair. That
fact is making the GremmIer incident loom
large in tho minds of some of the politicians
when they recall the close relations which ex-
listed between John \. Mccall and Tammany
Hall.
on the other hand persons IN close touch with
the Insurance Department say that Gremmler's
reinstatement is mere detail of departmental
business. that he is an excellent clerk and
competent. but that in this instance he needed
dsciplining and. having had It. had benefited
10 such extent that he could again be en-
ployed.
Governor Hughes on Monday night probably
viii send to the Senate his request to have KEEL
sey removed. The expectation is that it will be
referred TO the Judiciary Committee, and reports
that strong influence Will be exerted to smother
it in that committee We're reiterated tonight.
Senator Davis. its chairman is known TO side
with Kelsey against the Governor in this affair.
Senator Page, though. recognized as the most
intimate friend of the Governor I'm the upper
house, is also member of the Judiciary Com
mittee, and If such tactics tried the gen
eral opinion is that he would be able 10 get the
request before the entire Senate and force a
lineup the question which would prevent
any member hiding his attitude behind the COM
mittee's responsibility.
