ALBANY. April 4-Indications are
tha& q special session Of tho Legis-
la4uT0 will be called for about the
first Of June. Gov. Glynn said to- day

call the Legislators back. as his at
tsntion was occupied with signing
and vetoing bills passed by the last
session.
Under the law the Governor has
thirty days In which TO pass upon tho
bills. and this period will expire April

until after that date.

oall for special session before tho

PAT Of May or the first Of June.
Democratic leaders have advised
Ne Governor that in his message he
should limit business Of the special
session to passing the appropriation
bills. which deadlocked the regular
session and left the State without
funds for future operations. Senator
John Murtagh OF Elmira, Democratic
leader Of the Senate. said that he
favored strict limitation to the one
subject II the bars were let down
tAsrs would be a food Of special bills
that would keep the Legislature In
session all summer.
There 10 much political strategy
connected with this plan for nmita-
tion. One OF the effects desired by
he Legislature 10 to hamper Mayor
Nitchel's administration In New York
C1ty. There IN q great deal OF an
taSonistic feeling toward the Mayor

caling attention to the f-ct that the
Assembly had passed practically all
az the bills he sent up to the regular
