Superintendent Kelsey arose TO greet the Gov
ernor, and then took a seat facing him. Briefly
the Governor said that in view Of the super
intendents evident feeling that justice required
the consideration OF facts touching his admins
tration the best cuurss would be TO take testi-
mony. Superintendent Kelsey asked If he might
have counsel Governor Hughes replied that
counsel technically would have standing, but

vice. he would be glad 10 have Mr.. Kelsey take
advantage Of such counsel. Then Superintend'
ent Kelsey asked how long the examination
would be.
The reason for my asking, Governor he eX-
planned. was the unexpected suddenness, as
you might say, Of being asked to come in. ana

Then Governor Hughes reiterated that since
