PROPOSES CUTTING
OF COUNTY LINES
Ex-Judge O'Brien'o Senate
District Scheme Believed
Aimed at Bracket.
REINFORCEMENT
FIGHT WEDNESDAY,
Convention Will Then Consider
Haffen's Plan for More Sem
ators and Assemblymen.

From . star Correspondent Of The Tribunal
Albany, June 25.-On behalf Of ex-
Judge Morgan J. 0'Brien, Of New
York, George W. Wickersham, floor
leader of the Constitutional Conven-
ton, to day introduced proposed
amendment which would permit the
cutting Of county lines for Senate
districts. Mr.. Wickersham, speaking
to The Tribune correspondent, said ne
was against the proposal, fearing II
would be favorable TO gerrymsndering.
The general belief is that the
amendment was introduced to harass
ex-senator Edgar T. Bracket, OF Sara
toga, who has twice thrown me con
vention into a turmoil through his ef-
forts to have il express its feelings
on the question of legislative appor-
tionment by the convention, which ne
favors.
Evidently Senator Bracket and his
friends regarded the amendment as
aimed at them, for, after IL had been
referred to the committee on legisla-
tive organization, of which he is chair
man. Senator Bracket called meet
ing Of the committee, with view 70
reporting the amendment adversely,
but he was unable 70 obtain a quorum.
The proposal is an amendment 70
Judge O'Brien's original proposition
intended to remove the restrictions
with respect to Legislative represen-
tation in New York City. IL is in d.
rect opposition to Senator Brackets
scheme, which would prevent New
York rom having more than 30 per
cent OF the legislators regardless OF
its population, which is now est ST.
mated to be from 100000 to 100000
more than the rest Of the state.
There promises to be lively fight
over the whole question of reappor-
tionment when it comes up for DIS
cussion next Wednesday. Louis F.

reapportionment proposal intended to

the death of James Ross, bandit,
and the injury of Police Corporal

either side for distance of GOO
feet, and had the blaze gotten be-
