half Of the City Of New York, brought
proceedings in the Supreme Court YES.
terday to enjoin Attorney General
Newton, Dock Commissioner Murray
Hubert, Eugenius II. Outerbridge and
William r. Wilcox from entering into
the proposed port treaty between the
State OF New York and the State of
New Jersey
Mr.. OBrien obtained from Justice
Gavegan an order to show cause why
the contemplated action on the port
treaty should not be held up until the
action of the city is determined.
Governor Miller signed the bill au-
thorizlng the treaty last Saturday.
Corporation Counsel O'Brien raised
the point that the measure is an un-
constitutional attempt by the Legis-
lature to deprive the city of its prop
erty rights in its shores, docks and
ferries; that the agents Of the State Of
New Jersey will have equal control
with agents of the State of New York
IN governmental matters over the City
OF New York and its citizens, inhabi-
tants and property, and that the act
amounts to an unlawful surrender Of
the sovereignty of the State of New
York, or part Of it, to the State of
New Jersey, in derogation Of the Con
stitution Of the United States and the
Constitution of the State of New York

In reply to further questions Mr.

the fact that he was ar from through

CONTINUED from first pace

Courts Building that he would deer

were asked to serve
My work in directing the grand
jury investigation Of the HyIan ad-
mlnistration,' said Mr.. Whitman. "has
convinced me that no thorough in
curry with satisfactory results can be
mad without the far-reaching authority
| within the command of a Legislative
body"
The former Governor made it plain
that the necessity for corroborativc
evidence placed Il limit upon what the
grand jury could do in conducting an
inquiry. He said that there was in his
possession a mass Of material which
could be placed before Legislative
committee, but which n grand jury
would never admit as evidence.
All this material is known to bear
directly upon various city departments
particularly the Police and Dock de-
partmcnts, but it is of such nature
that it IS barred by the legal linsita-
tlHns placed upon q grand Jury.
Mr.. Whitman said that If leeisla-
tive Investigating committee is sent
here from Albany there would be no
necessity for continuing the grand
jury inquiry. He said that the state
body would absorb the local inquiry
and would be enabled. from the infor-
nation gained by his investigators
mmedintcly to extend its activities to
all Of the five boroughs.
In expressing his willingness to be-
come counsel to a legislative investiga-
ton Mr.. Whitman laid emphasis on the
1&ct that it only would be on the con-
dItlon that he was allowed a free hand
and ample funds. TIo added that mas
much as he had not been approached
IN connection with the matter he could
not be expected to go into details as
to the line Of procedure he would pur-
sue.
DO you think there is sufficient evil
dence, gathered in the course of your
present inquiry, to warrant the launch
ng OF d legislative investigation ?" Mr.. /
Whitman was asked
lie replied:
Il certainly do. If properly handled !
