seasirt. N. J.. Aug. Ex-Governor Fort made the following statement con- corning his proclamation of yesterday and the defiance of Atlantic City, that he dare not call out the militia to en- force the Bishops law:
 T win stand on my proclamation un- equivocally. I mean every word. The people will learn that am not at- tempting to intimidate by. threats."
 Through . member of Governor Forts summer cabinet" 1t was learn cd that before issuing his proclamation yesterday he sounded the attitude of various members of the Legislature and was given assurances that if he called a special session they would stand by him and provide what assistance they could to enforce the law at Atlantic revolt of Atlantic City, the Legislature would authorize to enforce the law there even to the necessity of patroll- Ing the resort with troops and placing it under martial law. Thereon the proc iamation issued with the threat to call a special session
 But 1t is said On the same authority that the Governor did not receive the same assurances on his desire 10 ob- tain authority for the removal of ofi- cers who fail to perform their duties. He has asked the Legislature for this power in tho past and 1t has been de- nied. 1t is fully believed here that on next Sunday Atlantic City will con tinue its defiance of the Government. and will be wide open as in the past. Advices have reached the Governor ale ready that such would be the case and there can be no doubt that the call for the special session will follow. If is- sued the call will appear on Tuesday and will denounea Atlantic City in terms more severe than the proclarha- tion.
