Albany. June 15.-Tammany legis-
ators who have gathered here to lay
heir plans for the extra session intend
~ kill Governor Suffers direct primary

The present programme is TO serve no.
tice on Governor Sulzer in the legisla-
five chamber tomorrow that unless he
pvts everything he wants acted on in
one message and sends it to the Legis-
sture the first thing. adjournment will
bs taken, leaving much OF the legis-
htiye business unfinished.
In fact. the extraordinary session
which convenes tomorrow night
PROMISES 10 be a fight from the be-
gnning 10 the finish between the Gov
enor on the one hand and the Tam
many and Republican organization
forces in the Legislature on the other.
Both will lose no opportunity to resort

Sulzer Processes Confidence.
Governor Sulzcr. who arrived in AL
bany from New York this evening, said
ne was confident the Assembly would
pass his bill and that he now had at
East eighteen votes in the Senate. He
gave out no names.
4 cannot see how he makes it out, ."
said Alfred f. Smith Speaker of the
Assembly. "Of the Assemblymen with
whom have communicated not one
has announced his intention Of chang
ing his vote, and of those l have not
seen there cannot possibly he more
than ten who will do so. In fact
doubt If there are more than two or
three. II any at all, and the Governor
needs twenty more votes than nc
got in the regular session TO pass the
Mn"
Speaker Smith said he did not know
any Of the ten Senators who Governor
Sulzer believes viii change their votes
for his bill which got only eight Sen
AZ votes a the regular session.
iye heard talk about Senators
Psckham, Patton, Emerson and Thomas
Banging" he added, but SO far as /
know not one OF them has announced
Il himself II all these four men did
vOle for the Governors bill it would
have twelve Senate votes. while
twenty-six are needed No, / cannot
zee any possible chance Of the Sulzer
direct primary bill passing either
house"
Lining Up for Battle.
Senator Robert f. Wagner, majority
hader Of the Senate, arrived here late
tonight and among legislators who got
here either last night or to-day are
Speaker Smith. Assemblyman James ].
Walker and Senators Henry p. Nelte
and George A. Blauvelt They spent
to-day in communicating with mem
htrs Of both houses. telling them to be
sure 10 be on hand tomorrow night
The main fight will be over the di-
rect primary bill and the Governor, 1t
Is expected, will use the items he cut
out Of the appropriation and supply
bills as a club over the heads Of the
legislators TO force them in line. These
TENS will necessarily have TO be modi-
std and repassed at the extra session,
and the Governor has the power to
nod them up all together. These
ITEMS include thousands Of dollars in
expenses and salaries incurred at the
Regular session.
On the other hand, the Legislature
mas the power Of placing the Governor
N an embarrassing position through
'ne financial bills he wants acted On,
including the repeal Of the law provid-
i0s AZ per cent interest on state bonds
~reIofore issued. Considerable trouble
