ALBANY. Feb. l4.-Lewis Stuyvesant
ChanIer who is now an Assembly
man from Dutchess county. offered a
resolution in the Assembly tonight
for a complete investigation OF all
the allegations OF bribery connecting
the Assemblies OF 1901. 1902 and 1903
brought out by the trial OF Senator Jothsm
p. Aids.
Mr.. Chanler's resolution was the first
official notice the Assembly had OF the
Allds-Conger controversy Frequently
have been reports that members OF the
Assembly other than Mr. Aids received
money to kill bills IT, .nical to highway
and other legislation. On the stand
last week it was admitted by Senator
Conger's counsel that in 1903 the bridge
interests met in Syracuse and contributed
to legislative corruption fund.
Mr.. Chanler's resolution caught the
Assembly somewhat by surprise. and al
though Mr.. Chanler argued that it was
a privileged resolution on which he had
the right to talk Speaker Wordsworth
insisted that under the rules the reso-
luton would have to go over until next
Monday night. Mr.. Chanler drew the
resolution without consulting the Demo-
cratic leader or any one in the Legislature.
Gov. Hughes and Speaker Wadsworth
had long conference at the Execu-
tive Chamber to-day, It is understood
the Aids -Conger trial was discussed.
After the conference neither the Governor
nor the Speaker would give any indica-
ton OF the nature Of their talk.
In view Of the fact that at the SatuI-
day conference Of the party leaders in
New York it was suggested to make the
investigation thorough. It Is believed
that this was the particular purpose Of
the Hughes Wordsworth conference to-
day.
Following their talk came the announce
ment in semi-oficisl form that Senator
AIlds's counsel would tomorrow demand
the names OF the Assemblymen who are
alleged TO have shared In the Conger
Doodle fund in 1901. II has been fire.
quently hinted during the past few days
that these names would come out. but Il
never appeared to be such an assured
certainty as IL does to-day.
IL was also said to-day that at the con-
clusion OF the Aids trial the Senate would
be asked IL there was not sufficient cause
for the trial OF Senator Conger. II IL
decides that Conger's part in the deal OF
1901 must be looked into another investi-
CATION OF proportions equally as great as
the Aids trial will follow.
