Socialist Members Of As
sembly Objected to
Long Delay

Albany, \. ", Jan 23.-The trial of
the five suspended Socialist assembly
men accused of disloyalty having ad.
journed until next Tuesday, legal forces
representing the Assembly Judiciary
committee conducting the investigation,
to-day began assembling their evidence
for presentation next week.
Although Socialist counsel opposed
so long an adjournment, the committee
granted the plea of its own attorneys,
who said that it in reality would prove
a time saving device" as it would give
them an opportunity to weed out un-
necessary exhibits.
Replying to question from the So
cialists, who said that they were facing
financial hardship by delay, as to how
long it would take the prosecution to
put in its case, Judge Arthur j. Suth-
erland of Rochester estimated that it
would be substantially in next week.
Witnesses called yesterday, when the
first evidence was presented, have been
ordered by Louis NJ. Martin, committee
chairman, to be in attendance next
week
Albany seemed deserted to day.
Crowds attending the trial who not
only had flooded the hotels but had
found quarters on steamboat tied up
by the ice, had left, many planning to
return next week.
