TO WITHHOLD APPROVAL
OF LIQUOR MEASURES.
Believed That Governor VIII
Allow Bills to Die.

TRENTON, April 25.-Although Gov
ernor Wilson has given no official in
formation on the subject, 1t was
rumored at the State House today that
Assembly bills go and $40. the liquor
measures which are op sed by the
church people, will be among those
filed in the rmorgue' in the State
Library as dead because of lack of
executive approval.
Assembly go makes it a misdemeanor
for any minor to obtain liquor by rep
resenting himself to be more than Il
years of age. The church people claim
that the bill is so stringent that it will
make 1t extremely difficult to prosecute
saloon-keepers who sell to minors.
The other measure permits wholesale
liquor dealers to deliver liquor in other
localities than that for which the IL
cense was issued. This would permit
the delivery of intoxicating liquor In
dry territory in this State, and it Is
this provision which has aroused the
temperance people strenuously to OPP
pose the bill.
Governor Wilson will devote a day
to public hearings on bills in his hands
and 1t may be that these will be in
cluded among those on which a hear
ing Is given. put it was said today that
neither of these measures would be-
come laws.
