Albany, N. T., Sept 21.-Three of the live socialists in the New York stF<p as- sembly were expelled tonight for the sec ond time this year when the assembly declared vacant the seats of Louis Waldman and August Claessens of New York, and Charles Solomon, of Kings.
 Samuel A. Dewitt and Samuel Orr of the Bronx, were permitted to retain their seats.
 After the vote had been taken result ing in Dewitt and Orr retaining their seats, each was given the floor on a point of personal privilege and verbally resigned their seats.
 The resolution calling for the expul- sion of the five socialists was introduced yesterday by Col. Ransom H. Gillett. republican and today the judiciary com mittee, to which it was referred, report ed the resolution back to the house for consideration without recommendations. During the day a move on the part of | several assemblymen resulted in Assem- hfyman Cuviller, democrat of New York, presenting three amendments which pro- vided for the unseating of Waldman, Claessens and Solomon. Later Assem- blyman Wells. republican, offered two additional amendments to provide for | the unseating of Orr and Dewitt. | The debate was inaugurated by As | semblyman Cuvillier at 240 o'clock and was concluded at TAO, just five hours | later, when the voting began. Colonel | Gillett withdrew his original resolution so that the assembly might vote finally 1 on the five amendments separately. | Assemblyman Louis NJ Martin, repub- lican. chairman of the judiciary commit tee, which conducted the trial of the so- cialists. said that the five men were ex- peIled because of certain conditions that existed in their party at that time. Since | then, he said the socialist party had leliminated all the grounds upon which | the judiciary committee or a majority of it, recommended the expulsion of the men last spring. but now they are mem bers of party that has complied with the law and constitution of the United States.
 At this point Assemblyman Amos ask
 ed Mir Martin if the men were originally
 expelled simply because they were
 members of the socialist party. Mir
 Martin replied that was so insofar al
 the findings of the judiciary committe'
 were concerned: That from the evidenc
 adduced the committee could find no per
 sonal guilt Because of this and tn
 changes that had been made in the con
 stitution- of the socialist party, Mir. Mar
