GLYNN AND TAMMANY '0UT
Deadlocked Over Chairman of
Judiciary Committee.

Albany. Jan. 2-Lieutenant Governor
Glynn and Senator Wagner. Tammany
leader Of the upper house. are deadlocked
over the appointment Of chairman OF the
important Committee on Judiciary. This
deadlock may extend TO other committees
and lead TO Tammanys taking the APP
pointment Of all committees out OF tho
Lieutenant Governors hands. This was
done by the Republican Senate when "A
Democratic Lieutenant Governor held Of
fee So far as known here, II has not
been done when the presiding officer ana
the Senate majority have been OF the same
party.
Senator Wagner advocates Senator Still
we'll Of The Bronx. for the Judiciary
Committee chairmanship. Lieutenant Gov
ernor Glynn thinks Senator Murtagh, OF
Elmira, is the right man for the Job. Mr..
Glynn's reasoning Is that there are 10000
or 10000 more Democrats above The
Bronx than in New York City. and the
committee considers legislation of more
Importance to upstate territory than to
the city.
about the only bills Of importance TO
New York CITY which this committee will
consider" said Mr. Glynr. ARE the amend
ments to the primary and election laws.
Irpstate is interested in these, too, while
New York City is not interested In three
fourths OF tho measures which will come
before the judiciary Committee. Senator
Murtagh IS AN able lawyer, and he IS
unite as well versed in legislative matters
as Senator Stilwell. His point or view
is sympathetic to the upstate people. lie
knows what they want and need as no
man in New York can"
This difference Is distinctly one OF up
state versus Tammany. Stillwell ~ ad-
vocated not only by Wagner, but by most
of the big guns of Tammany. He Is the
ranking member OF the judiciary Commit
tee. Of which Murtagh ia not member.
Ordinarily seniority would count In still
wells favor. but Mr.. Glynn points out that
two other important chairmanships must
inevitably go to New York city. Senator
Frawley has been chairman of the Finance
Committee. and will be reappointed by
Mr. Glynn Senator Cullen. Of Brooklyn.
has served as chairman of the Cities Com
mittee and will be reappointed.
II have advocated the appointment or
Senator Stillwell." Senator Wagner de-
clared because he is the senior member
OF the committee and well qualified in
every way for the place. Now It's up to
the Lieutenant Governor"

OPPOSE ONE COMMISSION
Many Object to Sulzer Idea of
Public Service Body.

Men who wereoost interested in the es-
tablishment of the Public Service com
missions and in the success Of their work
did not look with much favor yesterday
ON the suggestion that Governor SulZer
might legislate both commissions out or
Office and create a single commission for
the whole state.
Governor SuiZer was quoted as saying
that Ex-Governor Hughes had told him
that two commissions instead of one were
provided for in the original bill because
the politicians had told him 1t was either
two commissions or none Persons who
were close to Governor Hughes when the
bill was being drawn say they are sure
such was not the case.
1t was pointed out that the Public Ser
vice commissions had much more varied
duties than the Interstate Commerce
Commission, with which Governor Sulzer
compared them. The work of the COM
mission i'm this district has been 10 a
great extent devoted to the immense
problem of planning for the proper eN-
tension of the rapid transit facilities Of
this city and supervising the construction
of new subWays
Another great feature of the commits
sion's work is supervising and Keeping
the transportation service up to the mark
To go back to the one commission idea,
il was asserted would put public service
regulation. SO far as practical results
We're concerned, back 10 the days of the
old Railroad Commission. when nothing
tangible was ever done To improve the
service here.
II was also pointed out that commits
sion with headquarters here could not
well be in touch with the peculiar prob
lens of upstate. which are entirely dis
tinCt from those in this city.
Members of the Board of Estimate are
considering the ACCESSIBILITY OF petiuoninS

Aneny is particularly anxious lest new
man come in and upset much of the work
already done. He has had several talks
with Mayor Gaynor. who Is understood TO
be in sympathy with the idea that CHAR

of any danger Of practical defeat through
