ALBANY, March 1O.-After Senator
Leonard w. II. Gibbs. of Buffalo, chair
man OF the Senate Cities Committee,
refused to-day. according to Senator
Charles G. Lockwood, to report out
any Of the housing bills until Tuesday.
the chairman Of the Joint Legislative
Housing Committee obtained the sigma
lures Of majority OF the Senate Cities
Committee demanding that the bills
be acted on. Informed of this, Sen
ator Gibbs, Senator Lockwood declared,
still refused to take up the bills
Senator Lockwood left for New York
at once to consult with Samuel Unter-
myer. chief counsel to the committee.
Shortly after he left the Capitol Sen
ator Gibbs called & meeting Of the COM
mittec. OF course, Senator Lockwood
was not present, nor were the other
men who signed the request, and who
are also known to favor the housing
bills-Senator James j. Walker and
Senator Peter j. McGarry. Only five
members were present three short of
the required quorum. AT once the re
port was spread that Senator Lockwood
was jeopardizing the important hous
ing legislation by taking French leave.
Lockwood Explains Stand
Tonight the Tribune spondent
received telegram from Senator Lock
wood, dated New York, which read, in
part:
~ obtained signatures of eight mem
bers Of the Senate Cities Committee
requesting Senator Gibbs, its chairman.
to report out all remaining housing
bills. On his refusal to take them up
until Tuesday, put in notices to dis
charge the committee from further
consideration Of the measures.
"Will return to Albany Saturday af-
ternoon TO complete detailed oxplana-
tion of each bin for members of both
Houses and prepare for arguments. I
do not seek the limelight but for one
month ] have worked on these matters
and planned every legislative move, and
think it only fair that the true facts
be stated, otherwise the public will get
the impression that the chairman has
been loaiing.'
1t would be difficult to trace the ori-
gin of the reports reflecting on Senator
Lockwood's sincerity Senator Gibbs
could not be reached tonight, but all
here who know him are confident that
he did not understand that Senator
Lockwood and the other two signers of
the demand for q meeting would not
be available when he called the meet
