EXTRA Session
Governor Postpones An
nouncement Until After
Committee Meeting
MUST CHANGE LAW
TO ENROLL WOMEN

BALTIMORE. Md. Aug. 2s-Gover-
nor hltchie has made up his mind
about the necessity OF calling a spec-
ial session OF the Legislature 10 pro-
vide additional days OF registratiOn
OF voters In the counties. aud the
chances are that he will make no an
nouncement OF a decision TN after
the meeting Of The Democratic State
Central Committee, called for next
Tuesday.
Meanwhile the Governor is hearing
from the county people by mail and
otherwise, end by the time the com
mttee mee.s he will probably have as
good a line on their views as will be
had by the members OF the committee
These views vary. but many have told
the Governor that Il will be impos-
sible TO obtain anything like a full
registration OF women voters Ia the
two days allowed, which are Sep
tember % and October , But what
Is first wanted Is reasonably accurate
information as 10 the number OF
women In the counties who will prob
ably register or want 10 register. In
formation from some other States Is
10 Inc effect that the number Of
women who have applied for registra-
tion Is FAR short OF the full quota,
and not more than % per cent. of the
number Of men.
Might Wait And See
one suggestion that e being con
sidered by the Governor Is that he
should wait till the two days OF reg
lstratiOn are completed In order TO
ascertain II there Is need for addl-
tlonal days Of registration.
Then n they are found necessary
the session could be called on short
notice 10 meet after October >. The
objection to this Is that the time
would be so short between the reg
istration and the election. which Is 10
take place on November ?.
The city people are against a spec
/ ial session because they do not need
it. but 10 does not appear that thos,
who have urged the Governor mol
TO act can give any good reason WHY

what the counties seem TO want.
