HUGHES GOES ON TOUR.
Makes Speech Advocating His Side Of
Antibettins Question.

Albany, N. Y, April l1.--Governor
Hughes promised proclamation calling
special election in the Forty seventh
Niagara Orleans) senatorial district
for May IL to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of stanislaus p. Franchot
was his first move toward getting the
one vote needed to give him the consti-
tutional majority Of twenty-slx for the
antirace gambling bills.
The governor has donned his fighting
toys and started on another appeal to
the people" tour, beginning at Water
town and resuming II at Buffalo, where
he Ia expected to plead for the nomina-
ton and election of senator whom he
can control 1t is said he is ready to
take the stump in the Niagara district
II necessary. The governor made a
strong address at Watertown, declar-
ing that the question was one that
went to the very root Of the govern
ment. The question is, he said, wheth-
or the constitution was to be respected
or not.
There will be no special election in
the district If the gamblers can pre-
vent the senator elected from taking
his seat at the extra session of the leg
islature to be called to pass the anti
race track gambling bills.
Work was begun on preparing an ap-
plication for a writ of prohibition to
prevent the secretary of state from
calling the special election under the
terms of the governors proclamation.
The plan is to raise the question
whether any vacancy in the present
senate can be filled by special cleo
tion in any district owing to the fact
that the present senate was elected I'M
der an apportlonment that was declared
unconstitutional by the court of ap.
peals.

RULING ON DIVORCE,
New York Court Makes Decision
In important Case.

innocent Woman's Predlcament.

sonal service OF Papers Is MADE or
Defendants Lawyer Appears at Trial.
innocent Woman's Predleament.
New York. April 11.--An important
and sweeping decision In the matter of
recognition under the laws of this state
of divorces obtained in other states and
territories was handed down by the
appellate division of the supreme court
in the case Of Porte " Ransom of this
city against Mrs. George L. Browning
Of Madison, Va, his former wife, who
obtained divorce from Ransom six
years ago In Virginia.
The courts decision emphasized the
unfortunate position in which persons
who obtain divorces in other states
may find themselves. Ransom sued his
wife for divorce in this state after she
had obtained decree from him in
Madison, Va. and had been married to
George L. Browning, prominent law
yer of Washington.
Ransom's wife left him and returned
to the home Of her parents in Madison.
She sued for and obtained a divorce
here. The summons in the case was
served on her husband by publication
in Virginia newspaper, but 1t was
brought out when his suit against his
wife came up for trial that he. WAS
aware he was being sued for divorce
Virginia Suit Undsfendsd.
He did not defend the Virginia suit
Under the terms of his wife's decree
Ransom had three years IN which to
intervene end have the suit reopened
but he did not take advantage Of this
provision. 1t was after she was mar
ried to Browning and the couple had a
child that Ransom sued his wife for
divorce in this state.
Justice Bowling in awarding the
husband the decree-for which he asked
deplored the conditions which made it
necessary for him to find in favor of
the husband. He pointed out that Mrs.
Browning was entirely blameess for
the conditions that had arisen.
The courts of this state. however,
Justice Bowling said, refused to recog-
nize divorce obtained in another state
where the papers in tlW case were not
served personally within the jurisdic
ton of the court In which the suit was
brought or where II substituted service
was had the defendant was not repre-
scented at the trial.

Washington, April II. The talent
was given terrible trouncing with
the running Of the second race at Ben

tie, Kwai, went down to defeat. 1t is
estimated that the gentlemen on the

post time the best price obtainable was

There was a report that the winner
of the race, Dan De Noyles, had been

the track on him. Poolrooms through
