Albany, Feb. 12-While no action will be taken
on the Kelsey until next week, there is every
evidence that when 1t is taken up efforts viii De

Superintendent Kelsey who last year fought des-
perately TO gain delay seem anxious TO get quick
vote conscious that their strength now is at It's
height Reports OF plans to delay action until after
the primaries secuted.
Senator Raines said to-day that early next week
the Governors message would be taken from the
table for reference the Judiciary Committee,
which would report a plan of procedure, or else
the Senate would take up the message direct with
out reference. 1t has not been decided yet which
course will be followed. The Governors friends
probably will unite to get the message before the
Senate at once and make OF the direct trial
Of Mr. Kelsey, with counsel for him and counsel
for the Governor.
This was the procedure adopted with the Smyth
case years ago, when charges were preferred TO
the Governor. The Kelsey now is directly
analogous to that. since the Governor is asking
the insurance officials removal charges after
an outside investigation of his department. Mr.
Kelsey had his lawyers last year. but practi-
callv was not cross-examined. since only members
of the Judiciary Committee. sitting in a judicial
caDacity, had the right to ask questions
There has been noticeable to-day j vigorous in
