NO REINFORCEMENT PEACE
SECOND JOINT CONFERENCE COM
MITTEE FAILS TO AGREE.
New York Assembly Shows No Signs
of Weakening - Senate Won't
Yield Unless Governor Desires.

ALBANY, June lo-After having held
appointed by the senate and the assembly to
tionment plan failed last night to agree
1t reported today to the two houses to that
effect This means that another conference
committee will be appointed.
1t is said there signs of the assembly
weakening. However, this is denied by
Assemblyman Phillips. who says that mem
bers of the assembly are importuning the
leaders not to surrender to the senate and
assuring them that they will stick until
Christmas.
Hughes and Senate.
AS for the senate. there is no chance of it
yielding unless Gov. Hughes asks it to do
so. Then there is a possibility that it will
refuse. The senator's say that the Tully
apportonment plan submitted to the
governor and approved by him. and the
senate republican caucus afterward adopt
ed it because it was represented to the
senators that the governor wanted it. But
there is no immediate likelihood of the
governor asking the senate to recede from
its position or in any way interfering.
After the second conference committee
reports to the legislature the program is to
place full responsibility for the prolonging
of the session upon the assembly. The SEN
ate finance committee is going to report
resolution providing for final adjournment
Friday and this will be passed and sent
to the assembly and that house can take
the responsibility for keeping the legisla-
ture- in session longer.
The Wadsworths.
That Speaker Wadsworth is actuated by
the desire to keep up the prestige of his
father so that the latter can be power in
his congressional district is known by all
men except the blind followers in the as
sembly The speaker admits that the as
semblymen are standing by him for per-
sonai reasons. The speaker was asked yes
terday why he wouldn't stand for the Tully
apportionment plan. He was quoted as
saying:
Because it removes the keystone of our
congressional district.
That is the whole secret of the Speakers
opposition. Former Representative Wads-
worth must be able to control his senatorial
district in order to gain control of the con-
gressional convention. Assemblyman Jesse
Phillips stands by Wadsworth because he
thinks he can, with the help of the Wads-
wOrthS, get the senatorial nomination some
time.
At the conference yesterday the assembly
conferees rejected Senator Tullys plan.
Then Speaker Wadsworth's first plan was
conferees. Speaker WadsWorth has evolved
another scheme. 1t provides for two dis
tricts for Westchester county. and would
mean that another state republican senate
district would have to be wiped out in order
that the speaker could hold ANegany. Liv-
ingston, Genesee and Wyoming in dis
trict. This was rejected also. 1t was
thought by some that this plan would meet
with the approval of Gov. Hughes. but the
republican senators rebe!led against that
most vehemently.
Reapportionment Effects.
An apportionment that would wipe out
another upstate district could never be
passed by the senate. and would mean that
Senators Emerson, Knapp, Aids and Wem-
pie could make demands that would have
to be recognized that their districts r aain'
unchanged. Senator Raines said that by
giving Westminster two senators it would
mean that perhaps two democratic senators
would come from that county.
1T isn't so long ago. he said, chat West
chester had a democratic senator"
The predecessor of Senator Carpenter was
Charles P. McClelland who was appointed
appraiser of the port of New -ork, and he
was democrat
