Albany May 27.-After an attempt to clear up
q long third reading calendar in time 10 take
I'D the Prentice recount bill tonight, Senator
Raines served notice that the bill would be made
a special order tomorrow Immediately after the
reception of messages from the Assembly. Pre-
viously he had presented a resolution, which was
adopted, limiting each member to one speech OF
five minutes any one subject
When it became apparent that the recount bill
could not be reached until very late tonight,
Senator Raines asked that 1t be made a special
order tomorrow.
II do not desire to in1ict undue punishment
on my fellow Senator'S" he declared There Is
a bill on the calendar which must be reached,
and could be with discomfort. II is for the pur-
pose of saving this that am going to ask that
the recount bill be made q special order iHlrne-
diately after the reception OF Assembly mes
sages tomorrow"
There was "a dead silence after he had given
the notice Everybody looked at Senator Nc
Carren, expecting him to make some objection.
but mono forthcoming This action saves
by the most moderate estimate a day and a
night Of what had been expected to be the most
holly contested parliamentary fight of the pres
session
1t is understood that the unexpected unani-
nous consent arrived at after Il long con-
ference between Senators Raines and McCar-
rem. without such consent 1t would have been
necessary to fight through the long general
orders calendar, bill by bill, laying each on the
table by sheer force Of majority as was done
last year when the mortgage tax BILL which
passed only after whole night Of logged
struggle. one of the most desperate within the
memory Of any member of the Senate.
