DECLINES TO CALL
SPECIAL SESSION
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
OLYMPIA Wash, Dec le.-Governor
Marion l., Hay has declined TO call a
special session OF the legislature for the
enactment OF a presidential preference
primary bill. and in formal statement
sets forth seven reasons for his action.
The leaders of the movement for an ex-
ira session are mostly supporters OF SEN
ator Lo Toilette. The governors obJec-
tions are:
FMst-There is no assurance that the
Legislators would pass presidential prl-
mary bill in The extra session, or that
they would not take up other legisla-
ton.
Second-A presidential primary bill
Thlru-The extra session would almost
certainly result in general legislation in
Volving heavy appropriations
Fourth-Besde the cost OF the session
The proposed primary would cost S7o. 900
FOR Its operation.
Flfth-The people can express their
preference FOR president under the pres
ent system by attending tile party cau-
cuses and primaries.
SlXth--While the sentiment IN favor OF
"a presidential primary Is almost uulver-
SAL great majority OF the people ar,
nevertheless opposed TO an extra session
10 PROVIDE such primary.
SeVenth-Chairmen OF county central
committees have no legal power TO ap-
point delegates TO the state convention
and there Is no danger that they will as
sumo such power.
