 The charge was hurled by Sen. Jacob Caplan, repn, News Haven. who urped restoration of the right of nomination to the assembly. Governor Cross. in his veto message. had accused the republican majority of questioning the constitutionality of the system in vogue for 14 years merely because q democrat had become governor.
 Caplan, a lawyer and former judge of New Haven city court, at tackled the constitutionality of the method of nomination by the gover- nor, citing copious legal references.
 Sen Frank s. Bergin, dem. New Haven, senate minority leader, de- clared he did not see how Caplan could accuse the governor of mak- ing political capital out of the issue and still keep straight face.
 Sen William H. Hackett, dem New Haven, delivered carefully prepared address in sunport of the veto in which he poineed out the bill eprmittingt the governor to nom mate the New Haven city court judges was passed at the irstigation of the late Col Isaac M. Ullman New Haven philanthropist and re- publican leader. who. Hackett said. was disgnsted at the pulling and hauling" of politicians.
