Hughes, head of the bar association com mittee which opposed the custer of the socialist delegation last winter, issued a statement today condemning the seconu unseating last night.
 The custer of the socialist members of the assembly is an act of incredible folly and is in >gislt disregard of the fundamental principles of American in stitutions," he said.
 'I am absolutely opposed to socialism. and it is because 1 wish to see our insti- tutons preserved that l think this action, which is of the essence of sovietism, should should be denounced.
 Tt is the more fragrant because these members of the assembly had just been reelected in accordance with our laws and at fair election, and because, so far as provisions of the constitution of the socialist party gave any pretext for the previous custer, these had been removed.
 The statement of Assemblyman Mar tin, chairman of the judiciary committee, puts the matter very clearly. He says.
 There was no charges against any of them personally as individuals. No personal guilt was charged against them Since then their organization has com piled wit hour constitution and our laws | We have no right to exclude them So far as republicans voted to oust | the socialist members they acted in di. rect violation of their party platform. Il is fatuous to suppose that procedure o1 this sort is protection against socialism It has just the opposite effect. The ont consoling feature of the matter is tha we may be assured that this buster doe: not reflect the sentiment of the peopl, of the state, but is merely the action O a few exercising temporary powe which has been sadly abused"
