Notiee of Appeal-COunty Court
in Session Here

Judge Sherman II. Moulton of Bur
lington presided as chancellor at an inn
portant chancery suit in county court

the latter secured an injunction re-
straining him from proceeding with the
ejectment suit in the municipal court
claiming that they asked him before Oct.
to renew the lease according to pre-
vious contract and that he refused to do
So Mr.. Emerson claims that he was not
asked before Oct. ! to renew the lease
which expired Sept 80.
The court today held that the ques-
ton of whether Mr.. Emerson was not
flied before Oct. 1 was a question of fact
for the municipal court to determine.
that if notice was given before Oct. /
the company would be entitled to re-
main, otherwise Mr.. Emerson could force
1t to vacate. He sustained Mr.. Finer
sons demurrer and dissolved the injune-
tion. Attorney II. G. Barber. who ap-
pearcd for the tea company, gave notice
that he would appeal to the supreme
court. Attorney o. Il. Hughes and At
torney NJ. L. Maurice appeared for Mr.
Emerson
The divorce case. in which Alfred

ground of intolerable severity and a stat
utory offense. Attorney W. X. Daley ap-
peared for the petitioner. Decision had

Governor Hartness when it refused by
vote of 80 to II to confirm the ap-
Tointment of Clarence NJ. Brooks OF
keene, n H., as state highway commits
soner to succeed Stoddard b. Bates, who
was appointed to the Office first by Gov.

pointed by Governors Graham and Glenn
cnt What the reaction in the executive
office Will be remains to be seen. Mean
while the house bill to take away from
the governor the appointive power so
far a thi, office is concerned will be
thrown into public hearing this after
noon
The senate was in executive session
practically all the morning and when the
door had been thrown open at noon
many senators were reluctant to talk
about what had been done 1t was
learned. however. that the vote stood 10
10 u against the confirmation Of Mr.
nrooks, although it Is impossible to say
definitely which senators stood behind
the governor and which supported Bates
because the senate refused to put itself
on record in this regard, voting by bal
lot instead of by yea and nays There
are other appointments before the sen
ate and it is not improbable that an
other executive session viii be held this
afternoon.
The fact that II senators voted to
support the governor Is significant be
cause it indicates that the chief eXecu-
tive will be supDOrted in a veto message
i'm the event the house bill making the
state highway commissioner an officer
elected by the legislature should pass.
This bill, which was the angry reaction
to the governors frank declaration that
he would not reappoint Bates, Is eprov-
ing considerable of a weight to those
who foStercd it.
