PRIMARY FIGHT ON
SPE(I4L LEGTSL4TIVE
REPORT RE4DI.
This GiUes Republicans First
Chance to ShozC 1ttitude on
Demand for Reform.
lompson. New YarkD
[ BY Telegraph to The Tribune ]

Albany. Feb. 20.-The report of the
special legislative committee which in
vestigated the operation of direct pri
mary laws in various states will be pre-
sented to the Legislature tomorrow
night. accompanied by a bill to carry
out the recommendations of the COM
mittee- This committee did not have on
it one member who voted for or favored
the direct primary principle last year.
The general assumption here is that
they have not changed their position in
any way
Presentation of this report will give
to the legislature at a genuine legis-
lative and political crisis, because of
the disclosures of the Aids bribery case,
q specific matter on which the ajority
can register its desire to heed the pub
lies demand for reform. The Republi
cans. controlling the Legisla ture. can
adopt a direct primary bill having the
approval of Governor Hughes and as
was shown in the Assembly district
campaigns last fall. the approval of
many voters of both parties. Or the
Republican ma jority can pass some half
way measure or refuse to pass any pri-
mary reform bills.
Recognizing the existing critical situa-
ton and the responsibility on them at
this time. party leaders and legisla tors
are manifesting great interest in this
report and its legislative reception The
Senate will be prevented for two or three
weeks from considering any important
legislation. The Assembly must take
the first step regarding direct primary
reform, and Speaker Wadsworth has de-
cIared that the Republicans there would
shoulder this responsibility and take the
initiative. Disclaiming any power as a
real boss" the Speaker at the Barnes
organization dinner on Thursday night
said his house, with full sense of it's
responsibility, would settle this issue
right" He did not define the express
sion.
TWO BILLS ALREADY IN
Already there are two direct primary
bills in the Legisature-the Hinman-
Green bin. representing Governor
Hughes's views and partly drafted by
him. and the Grady Frisbie measure.
representing the Democratic position on
this important reform. The measure
presented by the legislative committee
will represent the product of a body ap-
pointed by John Raines and Speaker
WadSWorth last year in the heat of their
bitterness toward Governor Hughes's di-
rect primary project. Nobody for one
moment has expected that committee to
favor anything bearing the name direct
primary"
Thus this report will present to Speaker
Wadsworth and his Republican follow
ers in the lower house of the Legislature
this specific question:
Will YOU, at this critical time, stand
with Governor Hughes by passing bill
having his known sanction. or will you
try to adopt some halfway course, or will
you deliberately decline to enact direct

BELIEVED TO Be ON
NAY TO PHILADELPHIA
Two Men Answering Description Of
Those Seen Leaving Alley Behind
Store With Suit Cases Left Yester-
day Morning for Cape Charles by
Way of Old Point.

Two big negroes, who very PROB
ably were strangers in this city. anu
whose names are unknown, robbed
the clothing store of Werthe.mer q
Company, Washington avenue ana
Twenty sixth street between 7:lo
o'clock and $50 o'clock Thursday
night and made off with their booty.
When the robbery was discovered
at the time of the opening OF the store
yesterday morning, the men Win
their stolen property IN four stolen
suit cases, were on board the steam
er bound from Old Point for cape
Charles and they are now believed 10
be somewhere between Cape Charles
and Philadelphia.
While extremely risky and daring
the ruse by which the negroes were
able to successfully carry out their
theft was a very simple one. One Oh
them, or possibly both of them, en-
tered the store before it was closed
for the night and concealed himself
either in the basement or in one OF
the large clothes cabinets that line
the wal lon the south side OF the
store. The police believe that Only
one man hid in the store and tnat
after the place was closed and all the
employees had left the man came out
of his hiding place, opened the back
door and let his pal" in from the al
ley in the rear of the building.
Saw Men Leave Alley.
The store was closed up at 7:lo
O'Clock and at about $3.50 O'Clock,
Mrs. Louis Schimkowitz, who lives at
PIT Twenty sixth street, saw the TWO
negroes come out Of the alley in the
rear of the store, each carrying two
suit cases. The men turned down TO-
ward Huntington avenue and soon
disappeared. Mrs. Schimkowitz
thought nothing OF matter until she
heard yesterday morning that the
store had been robbed and she re-
ported what she had seen to the po-
lice shortly before noon.
The negroes had plenty of tine in
which to do their work and probably
picked out suits Of their own size. They
evidently took down the suit cases
from the shelves and opened them up
on the floor behind the wall Of the
stair well that leads to the offices on
the second floor of the buildin. Con-
cealed behind this wall. the men Could
operate without fear of being seen
from the street They took nine suits
of clothes, five coats, four suit cases,
three silk vests, several suits of IN
derwear, several felt and soft straw
hats and number of shirts.
This stuff was packed into the tour
suit cases and when they had finished
their work the men opened up the
back door and walked out into the
alley and to freedom. They merely
