FAVOR SLATER BILL
BY BRIGGS

Judiciary Committeo of Albany Bring
 in Favorable Report for Bill Which
 Would End New York State Boxing.
 Albany. May 2.-The senate ju- dietary committee voted yesterday to report favorably the Slater bill de- signed to repeal the Frawley law reg ulating public boxing contests. The vote was to 3.
 When the committees report was presented the advancement of the bill to the order of final passage was blocked by the objections of several senators. and following the usual course 1t was referred to the commit tee of the whole.
 Under ordinary circumstances such procedure during the final weeks of the legislature means the death of . bill, but an attempt will be made to advance the Slater bill under a; special rule to be adopted later. There Is little likelihood Of its passage.
