A hearing on the Young bin was given
before Gov. Hughes yesterday, when
Assistant Corporation Counsel MAJ Cohen
Of Yonkers and James R. Ludlow. land
owner Of the same city, appeared IN
opposition 10 the bin. A letter had
been widely circulated declaring that
the Young bin had besn "sSoreely
and mystsriOualy pushed through the
senate and Asssmhly.' and Il had also
been charged from other directions that
Mr. Young Was attempting 20 put bill
through In an underhanded manner
solely for the interests of the New York
Central
Al the hearing yesterday Mr.. Young
denied all the allegations.
The Governors veto was oouched In
such terms a. 20 arouse a characteristic
speech from Mr.. Young in the Assembly
to-day. Mr.. Young Ia one Of the most
forceful speakers In thu Legislature. His
speeches against the Federal income taK
and the Human Green bill attracted
special comment in the Legislature.
When he concluded a speech In his own
defence to-day the Assembly gave him
hearty applause. Some Of Mr.. Young's
friends. Republicans and Democrats.
urged that he move 20 pass the bill again
over the Governors veto. Mr., Young
held the Assembly In check
