The Republican leaders nave not de-

waiting to hear from Attorney Cen
cral Newton, who is now counsel for
'the Almirall Extraordinary Grand

ing body, will be established II the
accused Assemblymen are unseated
and this consideration demands that
every doubt concerning the law and
every uncertainty concerning the
facts should stand in the way as
barrier to it's establishment.
Therefore TO unseat these men
would be in violation of our own oath
Of office and jeOpardize the principle
of constitutional government and
civil liberty"
Blodgett was the fifth member OF
the Assembly Committee who voted
that the Assembly has no right to
unseat the members, on the ground
that the House cannot prescribe quail
lifiCations other than those fixed by
the Constitution.
Asscmblyman Down OF Yates has
written a report holding that three
Of the five men, Claessens, Solomon
and Waldman, should be unseated,
but that De Witt and Orr should be
permitted to remain.
He believes that a fair construction
OF the evidence does not show that
the Socialist Party is a conspiracy To
overthrow the Government by force
He urges legislation which would
prevent a political organization per
hitting aliens in its membership to
have place on the official ballot.

This is taken as a sharp crack at
Commissioner Enright, who is de-
clared to back the Henry charges.
Incidentally. Mr. Swami intimated
he had put the soft pedal on Mr.
Smith. He said: Mr.. Smith will
have all the aid this office can give
him. Tho only thing l have asked
him not to do is to make predictions
as to results and above all not TO say
that a certain man, or "A man higher
up is going TO be indicted"
It is possible that Col. Woods may
be called. He returned to the city
from Boston yesterday and went to
the Hotel Pennsylvania. To newspaper
men he said he had read Inspector
Henry's affidavit In which 1t was al
legged he had approved the Partridge
Club and "Beansy' Rosenfeld's gam
bling place
THE affidavit IS very interesting
but, fortunately, untrue" was his only
comment.

Mr.. Adler, who introduced the res
olutlon demanding the suspension Of
the Socialists, said that his position
was virtually the same as that Of
COL Roosevelt.
Chairman Martin, in submitting the
report of the majority OF the commit
tee with the statements of those dis
sonting, moved that it be made a
special order for tomorrow This
brought an objection from Assembly
man William \. Amos, Republican, Of
New York. BY "A rising vote the mo-

Sergeant at Arms. He was told the
only way he could enter would be on
permission Of the Speaker. This he

The majority report holds that all
charges made against the men on the
opening day OF the session have been
fully sustained and that the Socialist
Party has been proven to advocate
force and violence for the overthrow
OF the Government Of the United
States and to be in full sympathy and
accord with the Russian Soviets.
In addition to urging that the So

committee recommends suitable leg

SOCIALIST COUNSEL QUOTED
TO SUPPORT COURSE.

At the outset the report, after re-
citing the charges against the men,
says:
THE rule which we have adopted
as the basis Of our decision is not
only declared in well considered Pat-
liamentary precedents, but Is in har-
mony also with the understanding Of
the rule that SHOULD be applied, ex-
pressed in the early stages OF this
inquiry by counsel for the five sus-
pended Asscmblymen in the discus
sion Of one OF the charges contained
in the resolution adopted By the AS
sembly."
The charge ard statement referred
to were to the effect that the Social
ist Party urged it's members to re-
frain from taxing part in the war and
affirmatively urged them to refuse to
engage in the prosecution of the war
in any way To this charge Seymour
Stedman of Socialist counsel replied
that II the charge were proven. coun-
sci would have nothing to say to the
members but leave these chambers
in humiliation"
The report says precedent for the
procedure followed is found in the
suspension Of United States Senator
Reed Smoot Of Utah.
Taking up the question of the def
milton OF qualifications for a member
by the Constitution, the report says
that the provision is intended to be a
prohibition upon the eXacting test OF
religious, political or other qualifica-
tions and cannot be deemed to ex-
clude loyalty.
The party is held to be disloyal by
the report in every way. Emphasis is
aid on the fact that the party in 1917
after the United States entered the
war, adopted a platform emphatical-
ly opposing the war and apparently
engaged in a systematic effort to fur
ther claims of conscientious objec-
tors.
Taking up the evidence showing the
Socialist members had voted against
appropriations for the support Of the
militia, the report declares that it "is
part OF the plan of the Socialist Party
to destroy the existing form of gov
ernment and substitute the govern
