After Carroll Calls 1t

Brooklyn Leader Fears the

From. a Staff Correapo,,de.,l


ALBANY, March 23.The Wells bill,
which was described yesterday by AS
semblyman James 7. Carroll, Republi-
can, of Brooklyn, as an attempt to
whitewash District Attorney Swann's
Office and the. Hylan administration,
was killed to-day in the Assembly.
The death of the Wells bill was ,as
spectacular as the charges made by AS
semblyman Carroll yesterday, who told
the Assembly that iii return for the
proposed whitewashing Of District At-
torney Swami and the rest Of the Hy-
lam Tammany machine 1t was expected
by certain Brooklyn leaders that the
indictments against State Comptroller
James A. Wendell and ex-C Comptroller
Eugene NJ. Travis would be quashed.
The bin was put to death by the iM-
troducer, Assenblyman Frederick A.
Wells, Of Brooklyn.
Backed by Livingston
The Wells and Burlingame bills,
which provided for a committee of
twenty three to Investigate the bust
ness administration Of New York City
with view to making changes in the
city charter, were backed by the Liv-
ingston wing Of the Brooklyn Republi-
can machine.
The two bills we're identical when
which had passed the Senate, was
amended at the request of the Hylan
administration to include Mayor Hylan
and Comptroller Craig as part Of the
investigating committee. It>had been
planned that both bills should be
passed and sent to Mayor Hylan, so
that he would have his choice.
There is no reason why these bills
should be reported out, so far as / can
see, said Speaker Fl. Edmund iMachold
later. believe the two bills fail IF
their purpose, for the way they provide
is not the way to revise charter, in
my opinion
Jacob A Livingston, the Kings leader,
is openly fighting any investigation
that would differ in any respect from
that provided for in the Burlingame-
Wells bills.
Certain other leaders, who are also
against an investigation, are citing this
fact as one reason why the investiga-
tion of the Hearst Hylan-T TammaMy ad-
inlnistrat;on should be ouashed.

for the last two days, has not been

ences with some Of the Legislative
leaders.
Fears Boomerang
When asked if there was likelihood
Of his coming out in favor Of the In
vestigation Of the Hearst Hylan-Ta am
many administration, as provided for
IN the Robinson -Steinberg resolution,
he said:
mo. There is not. am against an
investigation, because believe it
would act as q boomerang"
From reliable sources it was learned
that the slegislative leaders, acting on
the suggestions thrown out by Gov
ernor Miller in his attack on the Hylan
administration last week, are ready to
create q legislative investigating com
mittee with full power to investigate
the entire Hearst Hylan II Tammany ma
chine, and that District Attorney
Swann's Office will not escape the in
quiry. All they are awaiting is word
from the Governor.
