ALBANY, \. Y, Sunday.-The climax
of the fight to reseat the five suspended
Socialist Assemblymen will come at to-
morrow nights session of the Assembly.
Four moves are to be made by Assembly
man William c. Amos, New YORK CITY
Republican, to break up the trial or the
ousted members. Mr.. Amos tonight con-
ferred with Charles e. Hughes, chairman
of the committee of the Bar Association
of New York. which was denied repre-
sentation at the outset of the trial
Mr.. Amos said tonight that although he
had talked with Mr.. Hughes none OF the
moves he would make before the Assembly
tomorrow night had been suggested by
the one time Governor. Supreme Court
Justice and Republican Presidential nomi-
nee.
Mr. Amos tonight prepared four resolu-
tons for introduction. The first will direct
the discharge of the Judiciary Committee,
which is conducting the trial, from further
considerat ton of the original Assembly
resolution which ousted the Socialists
pending determination of their qualifica-
tons by the committee.
The second resolution will declare AS
semblyman Louis NJ Martin OF Oneida
unfit to continue as chairman OF the
Judiciary Committee and will cite what
are declared to be nfractions in his rul-
ings of the Supreme Court procedure.
A third resolution will cite the charges
to the committee by Martin w. Littieton
of counsel for the State that the Social
lists are "adherents of an Invisible em-
pre- seeking the overthrow OF organized
government. declaring that this charge II
proved constitutes treason, and VIII de-
mand information as to what prosecuting
officer has been derelict in performance
of his duty"
The fourth resolution will quote John b.
Stanchfield. of counsel for the State. IN
his declaration last week that the SOCIAL
lists and their counsel are before the COM
m ittee on "sugferance," and demand that
Charles l.. Hughes and the committee OF
the Bar Association be permitted to ap-
pear at the trial on the same conditions.
Secret Service men reached Albany To-
might prepared to stay for several days.
Their arrival gave additional color to
rumors which have been heard for the
last few days that the prosecution would
rlay their trump cards early this week in
support of the contention of the State that
the five suspended Socialists are unfit to
continue in their seats. The Secret Service
rnen are understood to have evidence they
gathered while planted" in meetings Of
Socialist locals.
Many OF the Republican members of AS
sembly from upstate districts returned
to Albany tonight Gossip among them
indicated that they will stand firm against
moves by New York city members to re-
seat the Socialists. despite the flood of
resolutions which can be expected tornor-
row night They will also resist any move
within the Assembly Judiciary Committee
to delay the trial. There are 10 Republi-
can members of Assembly and the general
Fopinion is that any defections from this
majority. which would come chiefly from
New York city, would be offset by Demo-
cratic members. some OF them from New
York city. who even now are ready to vote
TO oust permanently the Socialist men,
bers.
