Madison.-The assembly lacked five
votes of putting the Hull market COM
mission bill over the veto of the gov
ernor. Speaker Hull left the chair to
champion his bill. claiming 1t was
not in danger of legal infirmitles
which the governor had pointed out in
his veto message. The governor OBJ
jected to the Hull bill principally on
the ground that the appropriation was
not made for a public purpose, quoting
numerous decisions for n1the Wiscon-
sin and federal supreme courts to sub
stantiate his views. Speaker Hull de-
clared that the primary purpose OF his
bill was for public purpose in that it
