| Albany. July 90. Until nearly A. NJ
to-day the State Assembly was in con-
| unuous session from last night before it
passed Assemhlvman Blauvolt's direct
primary bill. To-day the state Senate
devoted its whole session to the con-
sideration Of this bill and shortly before
o'clock tonight had completed the
debate of the bill and voted down all
amendments, including those desired by
Gov. Dix.
! Because of the absence of two Demo-
cratic Senators and the independence Of
several other Democratic Senators from
upstate Majority Leader Wagner then
caused the vote to be postponed until
the first thing when the Senate opens
tomorrow. Senator Wagner was not
fully satisfied tonight that he would
be able to get ~ votes for the bill to-
morrow.
The Blauvelt bill. which provides for
the direct nomination of members of the
Legislature. Aldermen and Councilmen
only. came up in the Assembly early in
the session last night Mr. Blauvelt
offered amendments. proposing to en-
