Perhaps there weren't forty-seven

To begin with "A fog rolled in from

With the muggy mis-, came heat. Il
grew more and more oppressive until
soon after noon large black clouds rolled
up and broke over City Hall Park as n

1t rained. and then it poured, and then
1t stopped, and then II raiued again, and
so on most of the afternoon. But when
It was all over the mugginess was gone

probable candidate for tho United
States Scnatorship to succeed O'Gor-
a whose term expires March l..
1917.
Mr.. tntermyer's appointment as mi
nority counsel OF the investigating com
mittee would put him in the public eye

The proposals upon which the discus
s!ous were had provided FOR the appoint

This plan would permit the Mayor OF
a city TO appoint a commission TO pre-
pare a charter. which would be sub
mi.ted To a vote OF the people. After
each city had thus secured a charter
the provisions could he changed only
through the LEGISLATURE passing a gem

seie a special provision IN any specific

The speakers did not believe the State
should surrender its sovereignty over
the cities. and thought their plan re-
served to the state all the authority II
needed. They thought this was much
preferable to the O plan. Their plan
also provides FOR abolishing the cldssi-
tication of cities.
Ray f. Smith Of syracuse and Mer-
ton T.. Lewis Of Rochester. First Deputy
.Attornoy-General, opposed any grant OF
self-govornment TO the cities.
IF the cities &c; home rule ! pre-
diet hat within i've years the city Of
hcials of New York will come to Albany
on Blended knees and beg the Legisla-
ture to save them from themselves" sale
Mr., Smith.
He said syracuse people did not want
each new Mayor to tinker with their
charter when ne has fads of his own
he wants to put into operation.
Mr.. Lewis said he thought a certain
measure of home rule was desirable, but
he opposed any such broad grants as
proposed by the committee.
The State should jealouslv guard the
power of the Legislature to interfere
with government Of cities at any time
for the protection OF minorities," he
said.

II is said that the Tammany Demo-
Gratis think MIR. Untermyer would MI
the bill. He could make his plea before
the people Of New York for home rul,
and other mooted questions and could
continue attacking the Republicans for
their tax levy Of sl9. 600. 900 this year.
The Constitutional Convention has
brought the most inhue s'ial Democrats
from all parts of the state to Albany
during the last few weeks. and nat
urally they have been talking politics.
The organization Democrats seem to
think that with President Wilson run
ming for reelection practically on a war
issue they will be able to slip In an
organization State ticket.
While George McAneny. President
of the New York Board of Aldermen, is
known TO he the choice OF the Mitchell

they will force Tammany Hall to sup
