WILSON TRIP
TO WEST COSTS
MONTHS SALARY
Senator Alderman Decides to
Accept Full Pay for Acting
as Governor.
IFrom a staff corresnondent.l !

TRENTON, May 24..-Governor Will
sons trip to the West will cost him
practically a full months salary. A
warrant, 1t Is said, has already been
made out in the office of the State
comptroller for the payment of the
salary to Senate President Ernest R.
Alderman, who during the absence of
Governor Wilson has been coming to
the State House for few hours each
Tuesday and acting as Governor in
compliance with the Constitution.
In his decision to take the governor $
cheque Senator Ackerman has ad-
vanced as a reason that he doubts If
his action would be valid on any other
basis. The Constitution provides that
in the absence Of the governor the Sem
ate president shall not only act in his
stead, but be entitled to the enolu-
ments of The office.
The news that Governor Wilson is to
only get four days pay for May has
created much gossip at the state House,
particularly in view of the fact that
Governor Wilson Is known to be in
very modest circumstances.
1t is understood, however. that the
same interests who are defraying the
expenses of the governors Western
trip will come to his rescue if he actu-
ally needs the money. When Deputy
State Comptroller Doughten was asked
about the warrant he declined to dis
cuss the matter.
