RACING BILL MAY PASS
Senator Gittins Believes His
Amendments VIII Be Enacted.

Albany. June IL Senator Gittins, upon
his return to Albany to-day. declared his
belief that the racing law amendments
which he has introduced will pass the
Legislature
IF the people understood the measures
better" said Senator Gittins. there would
be less opposition 10 their enactment.
II have received many letters IN relation
20 the bills" continued Senator Gittins.
and nearly all are In commendation OF
their intent have made no poll but If
all the members of the Legislature receive
similar communications I believe the alb
surd features Of the present law will DC
removed. The trouble is the anti-Detting
organizations tried to accomplish TOO much
They might just as well have passed law
closing the racetrack gates. The AgneW-
Kart laws stopped bookmakns on race
tracks. but in the two years following their
enactment there were individual cases Of
whore under cover some men tried To take
bets This caused the organizations TO
come back 10 the Legislature and ask it to
mass bills to close up the loopholes. The
drastic legislation Of last year was the
result
Tie Senator's tonight received floods OF
postal cards from their constituents stating
their position on the Gittins bills, the Sulli-
van sunday baseball and direct nomina-

LEVY AMENDS HIS BILL
Makes Two Changes in State
Wide Registration Measure.

49,, rune ta-Assemhlyman Aaron J.
.,,,o,,rced tonight that he had pre-
r.rod two amendments TO his statewide
,,o-.o,,a, registration bill. which during the
loo, faw aavs has been the object of at
-. -, -i,ic organizations from one end
- a. .,ate 70 the other. BY one Of the
a,,ordr,ents he apparently hopes to rally
. a. sr,nort OF the bill some Of the
doubtful upstate members. Inc Dill IN us
,,fgira1 form aroused a storm OF protest In
many upstate communities because Of the
fact that II would abolish voting machines.
The amendment puts the voting machine
question to a referendum vote. In the po-
litical subdivisions where they are now
used tbe neople must vote on the question
as 90 rbetber they will continue the ma
chimes Immediately after the bill goes into
effect But in case communities where
tbo,. arc not now in use wish to Introduce
tben q referendum vote may be had after
O rstitio, has been signed 10y % per cent
Of the voters.
The Second amendment. Mr.. Levy says Is
N make the bin conform with the recent
decision Of the Court Of Appeals in the
case If lanes Kane. the candidate recon-
rneuded for Comm Missioner OF fslttAlpuN III
New York city by the Kings County Dem
ocratic Committee but whom Mayor Gay
ror refused to appoint The court held
that the appointment Of a man recommend
ed for the position Of commissioner of
Elections by the political parties is manda-
tory unless It is proved that the man is
incompetent. The original Levy bill pro-
vided for bipartisan commissions Of cleo
lions in New York city and all the coun-
ties Of the state.
In New York the appointment is to be
made by the Board OF Aldermen, instead
Of the Mayor. and by the county boards OF
supervisors in the rest of the state. The
amendment requires these boards 10 ap-
point the men recommended by the two
leading political parties.
Other amendments which will he made
Mr.. Levy says. are more or less Of tech
meal nature he said that none of them
changes the form Of the ballot which II
has been held. Will prevent fusion in New
