showing the highest consumption
mortality is that of grinders, among
whom 1872 per cent of all deaths
were from that disease.

Albany, April AFTER a final hear
ing on the Hinman-Green Direct Nom
nations bill, the Assembly Judiciary
committee met tonight to take final
action on that measure at an execu-
tive session. AT midnight the mem
bers of the committee were still
wrangling over the bill behind closed

eide against reporting the bill favor
ably and that the vote probably would

Should the committee conclude its
work before morning and render its
report at the session tomorrow, a live

direct primaries enthusiasts have de-
termined to go down with flags fly-
ing.
Gov Hughes is scheduled to make
his second appeal to the people on the
direct nominations issue tomorrow at
meeting to be held under the auspi-
ces of the allied Civic organizations
in Convention hall, Rochester Ii was
reported here tonight that the oppon-
ents would time the final disposition
of the bill in the lower house so far
to have the message flashed to the
Governor just before he begins his
address.
Word came from the Executive
Chamber that this would not inter
fere with the governors program in
the slightest degree. and that his cam
paign throughout the state in favor Of
his plan would go on more or less un-
interruntedly from now until the next
legislature meets. The governors
friends have given up hope to pass
any direct primaries bill that really
deserves the name at this session.
