Associated Press Special.

Austin, Texas, August 31.-All
prospects of another early special
session of the thirty-second legisla-
ture vanished when Governor Col
quit gave out the statement today
that there was no truth in the re-
ports which have become more or
less widely circulated that he is in
clined to the idea of calling that
body together in another special SEES
sion in January. It was evident from
the expressions of the governor that
he feels the lack of sympathy be
tween himself and the legislature
and for this reason believes that
another special session would only
tend to aggravate matters that are
already bad enough.
1t is learned from an authorized
source that the governor has decid-
ed to approve all remaining bills on
his desk except the four signed by
Senator Mayfield as president pro
tempore of the senate. Those -four
will be held up until an investigation
is had as to their legality
