WILL INVESTIGATE
LEGISLATIVE GRAFT
Aids Incident in New York to Result
in Searching inquiry by
Joint Committee.

Albany. n, Y. Feb. 17.-Inyestigation
of legislative corruption i'm every pos
siole form and at any time since the
organization of the New York state
government is announced by the re-
publican leaders to satisfy the public
&cInaDd arising from the Conger- Aids
bribery scandal.
A resolution introduced in the senate
today by Sen. j. M. Wainwright of
Wes chester county provides for the
app ointment of a joint committee of
three senators and I'VE assemblymen
who shat be given an ample appropria-
ton and practically unlimited powers
TO conduct such an investigation The
measure is supposed to represent the
views of Governor Hughes and his ad-
Nisers, and it's sweeping provisions re-
veal how desperate these men consider
tie situation.
Thai the resolution was not merely
an expression OF personal opinion or
the product of faction was evidenced
by the fact that none of the repub-
lican leaders objected when the meas
ure was introduced. Senator Newcomb
OF New York, who was largely instru-
mental i'm causing the investigation of
the Conger charges, spoke briefly in
favor OF the Wainwright resolution.
Senator Grady talked In opposition on
the ground that the disclosures of the
