derstanding that the session shall recon-
vene on November 1 or November 15 and
then take UP currency legislation. Sen-
ator Lewis believes that q majority Of

Of taking the recess.
The Senators closest to the Adminis-
tration. however, were advised that the
President has not changed his mind about

be with his consent. These Senators do
not believe that the caucus will be in

OF Senators. but It was said that he
exerted no influence In the matter Of the
suggested recess.

WAsHINGroN. Aug. l3.-Authoritativs
DENIAL was made tonight OF q published
report that President Wilson had wired to
Gov. Sulxer urging him not to make any
technical defence but to present his best
case Rt regular trial. II was said at
the White House that the President had
not communicated with Gov. ,Sulxer on
this subject
Developments at Albany are being fol-
lowed with intense interest by Democrats
In the Senate. Gov. Sulxer's old friends
IN the House have been hoping. against
the evidence. that he finally would he able
to explain away the money transactions,
but now the sentiment seems TO be one Of
pity.
Lawyers In the House to-day expressed
the opinion that Gov. Sulxer cannot be
impeached for personal acts committed
before he became Governor.
THE Governors privileges are based
on the Constitution" said Representative
Flood OF Virginia. 1.-THE Legislature can
not add to or subtract any qualifications
upon which impeachment proceedings can
be brought"
Representative Francis Burton Har.
rison Of New York also In Of the opinion
that II H. doubtful that impeachment can
lie for acts committed before Sulxer took
the oath.
Representative Montague. former Gov.
ernor of Virginia, said:
As general proposition impeach chmept
cannot lie upon acts which are committed
prior to induction into ONCE and which
are personal and not relating to the
ofYice"
y Representative Henry OF Texas, chair.
man Of the House Rules Committee, said
that the Jurisdiction OF the Lsgislature to
impsach for acts eommitted prior to the
Governors Inauguration was In his
opinion very doubtful.
