Trenton, April S:-With a long
list of peppery vetoes from Governor
Wilson before it, the legislature will
reconvene Wednesday afternoon at 5
o'clock. Unless Senator Gaunt, of
Gloucester, shall have recovered
from his illness, action upon the We
toes may be tied up for some time,
as the Republicans will need every
one OF their eleven votes to override
the disapprovals. There will be the
unusual situation of at least two,
and perhaps three vacancies, on the
Democratic side. Senators Silzer
and Price have resigned to take
their positions given them by Gov
ernor Wilson and it is not likely
Senator Fitzherbert will take his
seat, as he is under fire again.
No report will be ready Of the
new Fitzherbert charges, as was in
tended. Senator Gaunt is chairman
of the probe committee of three Sen
ators and his Illness has prevented
anything being done.
Governor Wilson's Vetoes will be
submitted as 500 as the two
houses are formally in session. Com
mitteeB will be sent to the Governor
from each house notifying him that
they are ready TO receive any com
munications. The vetoes will then
be SEM in. Under the constitution,
the vetoes cannot be taken for action
until Thursday. Tho principal bills

most of which 1t is expected will be
vetoed are:
