Senator Healey.
Senator Wagner, like the otner
speakers. said he would have more 10
cav about the Governors conduct and
the Governors bills later. In one way
he thought Suffers accusations
AGAINST the Senate were unworthy OF
recognition. but he thought they
should not go unchallenged' and ne
challenged them with the charge that
Sulzer himself had made corrupt hat-
gains" to gain support for his bills.
For Sake of Record
No one is taking seriously the talk OF
an investigation" of the Governor
campaign by the Senate, but from
what Wagner and other leaders
dronped il was evident that they in
tend TO put everything of the nature of
bargains" by the Governor into the
record.
Senator Mcknight, of Rensselaer,, m
troduced the Governors bills in the up
ner house. Senator BlauVelt again IN
PRODUCED his own bills. which were ms
time however, divided so as to have
the economy feature separate from the
election law amendments.
Eisner. of Manhattan, introduced the
Sulzer bills in the Assembly, and Van
Woert. of Lewis. introduced the Blau-
Welt bills. 1t is understood that Sena-
tor Brown and Assemblyman Hinman'
the Republican floor leaders. Will IL
troduce again their bills as presented
at the regular session.
Everything will go TO the judiciary
Committee and unless the Governor
tomorrow sends a second message
that ties them up it is probable that
recess will be taken by Wednesday IN
til the following Monday.
The Governor announced this after
noon that he would have a second mes
sage for the Legislature, which ne
would send in tomorrow, but unless
il concerns something other than the
expected financial matters upon which
he wants action, it is not likely that
it will delay the recess.
Only Third Present.
In the Assembly only little more
than a third Of the members, mostly
New York City Democrats, were pres
ent. and they loudly applauded the ma
iority leaders criticism of the Gov
ernor after the reading of the dIrecT
primary message.
Il find l am in duty bound" said
Mr.. Levy. "to call attention to some OF
the observations l have made Of the
message with a view OF showing the
unfortunate and woful lack Of knoWl-
edge on the part Of the Governor not
only of his own bill. but Of the existing
primary law
The majority leader defended the
present Levy election law and declared
that the Blauvelt Democratic organiza-
ton direct primary bill. vetoed by the
Governor during the regular session.
fulfilled the platform pledges.
Nowhere during his campaign said
Mr. Levy, has the Governor seen fit
10 discuss or analyze the features Of his
bill. He has spent most of his time at
lacking the Democratic leaders and the
Legislature"
Mr.. Levy said that at the Sulzer
meeting in Catskill a week ago Friday
night most Of the enthusiasm the Gov
ernor got came from mountaineers, liv-
ing at Tannersville for whom Governor
Sulzer had just signed a bill. appro-
priating $4,000 for a road through
that district.
Il suppose" remarked the majority
leader, that there would be a whole
lot Of direct primary sentiment up in
the Essex Warren-Clinton County dis
trict, where they got 100000 road.
Mr. Levy referred to the signing OF
the Emerson highway bill When Sena-
tor Emerson had asked Governor Sui
r. per to approve the bill week before
1t was reported. it is understood, the
Governor told him he need expect nc
favors unless he was prepared to vote
for his direct primary bill 1t is now
expected that the Warren County mem
Der will change his vote, although he
has not definitely announced his inten-
ton TO do so.
