STATE DONE WITH
DAYLIGHT SAYING
Bill to Repeal Act Is Arranged
for at Conference of G..
0. p. Leaders.
FARMERS WIN LONG FIGHT
Consolidation of Departments
Observation-Disclosures Made
to Hylan Inquiry.

Daylight saving is at an end In New
York. The act will be cut out of the
statute books at the earliest possible
time after Governor-elect Nathan l..
Miller takes office.
Word that the long fight led by the
cities for the daylight saving system.
with all the farmers Of the State fight
ing it. had been lost came yesterday
from a conference at the headquarters
of the Republican State Committee.
Governors Miller was In Albany
but Assemblyman Charles H. Belts OF
Wayne county, Republican leader, sat
in the conference for a time, and when
he came out he said he would reintro-
duce his bill for the repeal of daylight
saving and that it would be passed and
signed by the Governor.
Daylight saving was one of the most
potent issues of the campaign. and Gov
Smith said after an up State tour that
he knew he was done for when he told
the farmers he would not sign repeal
of the bill Gov. Miller has sympathized
with the stand of the farmers, who ar
gued that daylight saving for them
meant that they would have to get up an
hour earlier and work an hour later, as a
farmer never calls a halt until the light
is gone. He had to get up earlier to
catch the milk trains.
The decision will be a severe blow to
the parent organization, the Daylight
Saving Association.
The conference also considered the
consolidation of the Department of High
ways and the Department of Public
Works. the consolidation of all revenue
collecting agencies and the reorganiza-
ton of the Public Service Commissions.
Chairman Glynn was asked by SEN
ator-elect Theodore Douglas Robinson Of
Herkimer county for support to reso-
luton for an investigation of the Hylan
administration. He said he had received
letter from Fl. H. Klein, Deputy Com
missioner of Accounts, asking why up
Staters were so much interested in in
vestigating New York city. and inviting
him to come down and spend week
studying the situation Jacob A. Liv-
ingston Republican leader of Kings
county. said he did not approve such an
investigation unless some reason great
er than has so far developed is shown"
Attending the conference were George
A. Glynn, chairman of the Republican
State Committee; George W. Aldridge of
Rochester, William l.. Ward of West
chester, Samuel S. Koenig. Assemblyman
H. Edmund Machold, slated to be Speak
er of the Assembly Mayor w. j. Wallin
