investigation of the charges made by Senator Co
halan, in his speech in of the Kelsey de-
bate. that according to rumor Senator Page acted
under retainer in securing the passing OF the
mortgage tax bill Last night Senator Pages res
olution calling for investigation of these charges
laid the table on a motion OF Senator
Ranes, but to-day Senator Page had the resolu-
ton taken from the table. and II passed by
a unanimous vote of the Senate.
The resolution originally called for investi-
eating committee of three Senator's but this was
amended by Senator Grady who proposed that
the investigation he made by the Senate Judiciary
Committee. AS finally adopted the judiciary Com
mittee may investigate or appoint a subcommittee
of three five members to do the investigating.

tested vigorously against having the affair put in
the hands OF the committee. saying that II was al
ready overburdened with work Senator rage lex. eM7

FOR REVIEW OF ApPoRTIoNMENTs.
Cobb Bill Goes Through Senate-Grady OBJ
lection To Be Considered in the Assembly.
by Telegraph to The Tribune,

Albany. May with only two negative votes
the Cobb bill prescribing regulations for the re-
view Of apportionments by the Legislature or other
bodies was passed by the Senate to-day. Senator
Grady offered a half-hearted objection, on the
ground that the sixty days allowed by the bill in
which all actions must be brought TO upset an ap-
portionment sufficient, and should be
changed 10 six months. He withdrew his objection
at the earliest opportunity on the assurance from
Senator Cobb that this feature of the bill would
be looked after when 1t came before the Assembly
for passage
The odd guard Senators were strongly in favor
of the measure. and appeared anxious for its i'm
mediate passage This bill aroused considerable
comment at the time OF its introduction because
Of It's ambiguous phrases. Many here thought it
could be used to bolster up unfair apportion-
Under its provisions the Secretary Of State
would be forced to go into court and defend any
apportionment that had been made II challenged.
This the argument ran would give friends of an
unequal apportionment opportunity to force
him into defence of measure his judgment con-
dcmned simply by challenging IT.

vice corporations are doubling their efforts to
rouse throughout the state sentiment unfavor-
able TO the utilities bill the Governor wants
it. Business mems organizations, called. are
being drafted into line TO pass resolutions de-
nouncing radical measures against business
concerns Of such great Importance as the rail-
roaGs and lighting companies. The corporations
are said TO have hired lawyers 10 stir up oppo-
sition 10 the bill wherever possible, and their
agents are believed TO be going through the
state arousng some semblance Of local sent-
ment against the bill behind which Legislators
might hide in defending their opposition on the
floor.
SENTIMENT MISREPRESENTED.
Word reached friends of the Governor to-day
that business mems meeting of this sort held
at Auburn last week absolute misrep
resentation of the real sentiment of the city.
The Albany Chamber of Commerce is to father
q kind OF convention of representatives Of state
commercial organizations here on Thursday to
discuss the utilities bill Some of the Hughes
men affirm that this is likely 10 turn out
part of the same general campaign. They de-
clare that many delegates to this conference will
come from regions directly under the influence
OF the railroads and lighting companies. The
Albany Chamber of Commerce. they recall. took
up this movement directly after committee Of
the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce had declared
the main body.
They recall also that a similar conference on
the water storage problem WAS denounced by
John @. Agar as packed convention"
packed by representatives OF the power inter-
ests and pulp people. and they wonder if after
this meeting somebody will bring similar
charge that the transit corporations got in fine
work with the delegates In in Syracuse on
Thursday night there is to be a meeting of the
Chamber Of Commerce, which Assembyman
Merritt will address and the story received by
the Hughes men here is that vigorous efforts
have been made 10 get a showing there unfavor-
able TO the utilities bill
RECOUNT MAY COME UP.
Meantime. Senator Page hopes to get some
action on the recount bill wher the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee meets tomorrow This if
it should be reported. is calculated TO hurl con-
fusion into the Democratic camp and give them
something to Go which might distract their at
tentfon from the utilities bill for time Sem
ator Grady said to-day he said a week ago.
that he would move 10 have the bill reported.
There has been considerable talk here that he
would get the bill out Of committee a Tam
many club against Mayor Mcclellan. but. then,
nobody here knows just how the Murphy-NC-
Clellan relations stand, and consequently nobody
can tell just what the significance of Gradys
announcement might be. Some even wonder
whether II does not cover intention to daily
awhile with the bill until the immediate pros
pect Of adjournment has taken away all dan
ger of its passage.
