that the system federation had not con-
Quoted its negotiations properly with the

According to Senator Frawley. chairman
OF the joint legislative committee on re-
apportionment the work OF that committee
not only is to be done strictly in accord
ance with the law, but will he the essence
Of fairness to all concerned.
The committee had it's first regular ses-
sion az the Hotel KnIckerbocker yesterday
afternoon and went over the maps with
great care. The Republican members OF
the committee we're prepared to protest
against giving all the six new districts In
the state 10 this city. The Democrats re-
piled that they were not going 10 put all
OF these districts In this city alone. but
that the six would be crowded in below the
northern line of Westchester County. one
district will be composed of part Of that
county and part OF The Bronx.
In laying out the districts In Manhat-
tan" said Senator Frawley. we are going
10 do just what has been announced. We
shall carve out straight territpr'es by
slicing the island from east TO vest. OF

will have to put one district wholly on the

remainder OF Queens will go in with a part
Of Kings to make up one OF the two new
districts in that county. No part OF Queens
County will he in a Manhattan district, as
at present Richmond will be tackled on TO

as at present.
In Kings County 1t Is said that the Dem

Officer Kracke and Congressman Calder.
who at present are enjoying sort OF a
dual Republican leadership in Brooklyn.
For some years Mr.. Kracke has controlled
one Congress district and the Congressman
another-the one he represents in Congress.
The Democrats hope by putting them in
the same district to arouse Jealousy and
strife between the two leaders.
The committee busted itself yesterday for
the most part on the upstate problem. IT
is the intention OF the Democrats, although
they do rot acknowledge it. TO do as much
as possible to harass and break up the
Republican lines upstate.
Senator Fra wiley said the committee eX-
nected TO have its work done by Friday, at
the latest.
The Joint legislative committee on the
charter was working in other apartments

chairman, said it would make no changes
other than those already announced before
