ROOSEVELT SILENT
ON UPSTATE PROBE
Tammany Hopes for Chance
to Fight in Legislature
for Quiz on G. O. p.
BY the Associated Press.

by tne Associated FreSS.
NEW YORK, August 22.-Tammany
Hall took hope yesterday from the at
titude of Gov Roosevelt that 1t might
be given q chance IN Tuesdays special
session of the Legislature to fight for an
investigation into the corruption It
claims existent in upstate Republican
strongholds.
Dispatches from Albany said the
Governor still had an open mind on
whether the powers of the Hofstadter
Committee, now investigating the Tam
many government of New York City,
should be broadened to permit an in
quiry elsewhere In the State.
He will confer with his legal adviser
over the week end. Meanwhile, he
made no public statement.
The Governor already has indicated
he will not heed the original Tammany
demand that he urge the Legislature to
give the Democratic State controller
power to grant general immunity In
making an upstate inquiry.
It Is this immunity privilege which
the Republicans wish granted to the
Hofstadter Committee, whose investiga-
ton in New York City they control
The special session originally was called
by the Governor to consider bill ex-
tending such right.
The Governor also took a step to OBJ
tain unemployment relief for the State.
He announced he would recommend
certain definite and necessary meas
ures for the relief of distress and allevi-
alton Of unemployment" to the special
session.
Following upon announcement that
Samuel Seabury. Hofstadter Committee
counsel. had just completed a report to
the Governor on whether District At
torney Thomas C. r. Grain was so lax
in his duties as to warrant removal,
report came from Tammany circles that
Tammany would seek the vindication
of their Official if he were removed, by
renominating him next November.
The theory advanced was that Tam
many would insist on Roosevelt man
being put in until the election and then
would refuse him the nomination I'M the
Fall. Were that to occur, a clear breach
between the Governor and Tammany
would be apparent.
