WHO IS GOVERNOR
New Mexico Representa-
tives Dissatisfied With
Governors Adviser.
BY GUTHRIE SMITH.

Santa F.. y NJ. Feb. 9.-The house
of the third legislature this morning
took steps 10 determine definitely and
finally whether L. c. de Baca or Elmer
f. Veeder is the real governor of New
Mexico. For several weeks there have
been rumors of dissatisfaction over the
way it was alleged that powers were
being usurped by Veeder. who was ap-
pointed by governor Mcdonald as lie
gal advisor TO the governor and who
has continued in that capacity for de
Baca.
The governor has been confined 10
his quarters in the sanitarium since
January 1. when he took the oath OF
office. a good part of the time it has
been necessary Tor the physicians III
charge to deny all callers. in order to
conserve the governors strength.
On W edneSday messenger from the
senate carried a document 20 the gov
ernOr for signature. He was informed
by the nurse that the governor could
not see him. nor receive any documents
Next day the chief clerk OF the senate
carried over papers and secured the
personal signature Of the governor I'm
the receipt book.
This morning a messenger from the
house carried over a bill which had
been signed by presiding officers Of
both houses. The nurse Uniformed the
messenger that he could not see the
governor. nor deliver the papers with
out an order from Needer. This mes
sage was brought back to the house
and debate was commenced at once
The motion which finally carried
was by Wesley. OF Grant a Democrat.
II was to the effect that a committee
be appointed to wait on the governor
this afternoon, to learn exactly how he
desires the business of his office to be
transacted The motion carried by q
TO 10, seven members being absent and
not voting Democrats supporting the
motion were Livingston. OF Eddy:
MehlhOp. of Chavez: Romero. Of Union:
Stroud. of Roosevelt: Wesley. of Grant
Republican leaders express the great
est sympathy for the governor. who is
suffering with pernicious anemia. and
declare that they have no desire what
ever TO distress or embarrass him. but
that the laws provide that only the
governor himself may sign bills and
resolutions. and it is said that the sig
nature of any one else. for the gov
ernor. would invalidate any measure
which might carry such a signature.
