GOVERNOR AND LEGISLATURE ARE
STANDING PAT ON ALIEN MEASURE
Believed That Byan's Visit Will Be
Failure Insofar as Changing Prin-
CipIeS Of Law.
CAN'T PREVENT ACTION
Wilson Also Determined to Stand
Firm in His Position Regarding
Proposed Legislation-Bryan May
Return to Washington Tomorrow
Awaits TO Hear From Wilson.

Sacramento, April Ex-Governor
Johnson and the legislators are stand
ing pat. The bill excluding aliens as
ineligible to citizenship and ownership
of land will be passed and the mission
of Bryan result in failure. This, in a
word, is the situation in the Japanese
embroglio as far as anyone can tell
from the outside today.
At present the situation halts pend
ing receipt Of a message from Wash
ington in answer to kilograms sent by
Bryan last night 1t is expected Bry-
an will hear the view of President
Wilson and Immediately another con-
ference with the legislature will be
held. Unless at this conference Bryan
is able to impress the legislators with
the necessity of delay, it is not prob
able there will be any fruits from the
efforts made to block California's ex-
pected action. Bryan probably will
go to San Francisco tomorrow as the
guest of expositj&< officials and may
go direct from San Francisco to
Washington.
johnson is Firm.
From the hour when it first be-
came known that President Wilson de-
sired to send Bryan to California, it
was predicted Governor Johnson would
not recede from the stand he and his
administration have taken. 1t was de-
clared the pressure of public opinion
/ in the state called for a law exclud-
| ing the Japanese in such 4 strong
/ form that Johnson simply could not
resist whether he wished to or not.
| Unless the president in his message
to Bryan can set forth some stronger
argument than Bryan has yet present
ed there is hardly any doubt that ac-
ticn directed almost specifically
against the japanese will be taken by
the California legislature.
Arrangements have been completed
for the visit of Bryan in San Fran
cisco tomorrow. Bryan, according to
present plans, will leave here at Sis
in the morning and remain in San
Francisc until tomorrow night. He
will be the guest of the Panama-Pa-
cific exposition officials and after be-
ing shown over the exposition grounds
will be entertained at a banuet. 1t is
not certain yet whether he will return
here.

Bryan and another executive con-
/ ference is expected during the day
when Bryan will again take up the
discussion of alien legislation with the
! Legislators
Bryan entered the senate chamber
about noon and took a seat at the
presidents desk. He listened to an
argument over the anti-capital punish
Iment bill. 1t is understood that Bryan
is awaiting further messages from
Washington. The punishment
