insists that unless the complexion of

rupt Practices Charged.
HUGHES WON'T TALK
Governor Has Conference With
President Taft and Republican
County Chairman.
HUGHES

ALBANY, n. Y, Feb. i4.-There
may be a general investigation OF the
New York State Legislature TO un-
cover alleged bribery in connection
with the legislation in the last ten
years Governor Hughes was back ut
his desk to-day. and. though he re-
fused to talk, II was reported that
as q result OF his conference In New
York Saturday with President Taft
and yesterday with County Chairman
Lloyd Griscom and the county Re-
publican leaders, he will this week
suggest to the legislative leaders the
necessity OF thorough house clean
ing in the Republican party.
Talk OF others.
Tie bribery investigation on In the
State Senate Is limited to the specific
allegation made by Senator Benin Con-
ger that Republican Senate Leader
Jutnam p Atfds; white In the Assem-
bly,, accepted bride of $1,000 to kill
a bill that the bridge trust did not
desire enacted.
Even If this charge, and others that
grow out of Ii. Should be proven the
statute of limitation prevent criminal
prosecution. Rumors connecting other
men still in public life with other
bribery jobs are In public circuia-
ton. and Governor Hughes holds that
these men should have their skirts
cleared or be driven out of politics.
He also holds that IL there is a dis
pos ton to cover up" anything and
save anyone. the action Will rebound
on the Republican party and do IL
much more harm than anything that
might become public.
Wants Them Prosecuted.
The Governor hopes that II some
of the stories being circulated are
true the statute of limitations might
not be operative. and there might be
a chance OF criminal prosecution. Gov
ernor Hughes handled the insurance
investigation, and while there was mo
criminal prose cutions as the outcome
of II, number of prominent poiiti-
clans OF both parties were retired
from public life,(
That there II good chance Of &
Joint Legislative investigation is shown
by the. altitude of Speaker of the AS
senlaS Wadsworth, who was declared
on Saturday To favor squelehing q
broad investigation. He Indignantly
denied this to-day. claiming that his
position Is that everything snoui

impressed with the seriousness of the
situation and Its possible effect on tht

the outcome would show that there
was no disposition toI whitewash oi
