N. Y., April 13.-That there is a gfor41s sentiment in favor of the recall of judges and of judicial decisions by popular vote was the opinion expressed at a special meeting of the New York State Bar association today when resolutions were adopted condemnlng such a system. Another resolution offered by former Jus tice D. Cady Herrick and seconded by Alton B. Parker, former chief judge nf the court of afs,eals. was approved, enl- towering a committee to investigate the cause of this movement and if necessary recommend a remedy to check it.
 The meeting was unanimous in it's opposition to the recall.
 The resolution pledges the New York State Bar association to urge the bar of the state and of the nation ito unite Irrespective of party in opposition to such proposals and in defense of an in- dependent judiciary"
 This action is part of a plan to havc every state bar association record it's position on this question in time to be reported at meeting of the Amer ican Bar association next August.
