GOV. HUGHESs EYE ON SARATOGA
No Charges Against Sheriff or District At
torney Nor Against sheriff OF Kings.

SARANAo LAKE. N. Y, Aug. 3.-While
Gov. Hughes has been made acquainted
with the situation In Saratoga and the parts
that the Sheriff and the District Attorney
OF thst county are playing in IL, the Coy
ernor Is not ready to act. as no charges against
| these officials have been filed with him. If
any charges are TO be presented this fact
although this situation might develop at
any moment. In the preparation Of charges
against the of1cials Of Saratoga county who
! may or may not be doing their duty the
question OF time is a factor.
As the Saratoga race meet will be OF short
duration and es the preparation of q case
against an Official and the subsequent trial
OF the charges will consume much time, the
question is raised whether or not charges OF
this nature will be effective In putting an end
to any irregular or unlawful practices before
the race meet at Saratoga is finally terminated.
1t was positively stated tonight that no
charges have been made up to this time, nor
has the Governor received any Official inti-
nation Of any. Neither has Gov. Hughes
received any charges against the Sheriff of
Kings county. This official has. however.
been very prominent in the thoughts of Gov.
Hughes for the last two months.
1t Is believed that his case received atten-
ton In the conference between Assistant
District Attorney Elder and Gov. Hughes
on Saturday. Information concerning the
Sheriff Of Kings county has, 1t is known, been
laid before the Governor, informally. but in
the absence Of any direct cha rges' Gov.
Hughes has not been called upon to take any
action.
In the light Of all the developments and
with the knowled &c that Gov. Hughes is
receiving information through Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Elder and other officials who
are working In full accord with him and his
policies. 1t may be said that the question of
the removal Of the officials Of Saratoga county
and Kings county has been considered by
and that he has weighed all the points
and considered all the chances. Prompt and
decisive action may be expected Immediately
following the receipt Of any charges against
any of the officials

GRAND JURY AT 1T AGAIN.
Six Raeetrack Betting Cases Considered
at Unexpected Session.

Acting District Attorney Elder was smil-
'ingly reticent yesterday regarding his trip
to Saranao Inn. where he conferred with
Gov. Hughes on the racetrack situation.
He said that he didn't feel at liberty to pub
lish the Governors plans. which the Governor
already had published.
In explaining the appointment Of Justice
Watson NJ. Rogers to try racetrack cases at
an extraordinary term Of the Supreme Court
to be held in Brooklyn Mr.. Elder casually re-
marked that Judge Dixie. who has been sitting
throughout the session OF the Grand Jury.
intends to sail for Europe on August 20 and
the first Of the racetrack cases are not sched-
uled for trial until five days later. 1t was
deemed advisable. Mr.. Elder said. to assign an
upstate Judge to the cases.
tn Kings county Grand Jury. contrary
to expectations, was in session again yes
terday for a couple Of hours. Mr.. Elder
said that the body was considering six race
track betting cases. but he would give no hint
as to their nature. saying that he was not at all
sure that indictments would be found. The
jury is contemplating a dinner in celebration
OF it's record breaking session. Judge Dixie
and Mr.. Elder will be invited guests.
