lution was carried in senate and as- sembiy in the face of the most bitter kind of opposition from the demo- cratic minority in the two houses,
 In the senate, what threatened to be a fist fight in the lobby was nar- rcwiy averted. Senator John A. Hastings, Brooklyn democrat, had demanded what Ideal" had the Westchester republican delegation to switch their support to the reso- lltion.
 Senator Westall, spokesman for William l.. Ward. the republican chieftain of Westchester, angrily re- torted that If Hastings would go out in the corridor, he would tell him.
 'T'll go out with you" roared
 Hastings, dashing for an exit.
 But other counsels prevailed. Westall wag induced to cit down again and democratic colleagues re- strained Hastings.
 The democrats then sought to first in the senate and then in the assembly. Their proposal was to broaden the scope of the inquiry to include counties in upstate commu- nities where republican control has been in the ascendancy for years and where State Comptroller Morris S. Tremaine had brought to light
 numerous scandals. The republicans voted against it, supported by three democrats in the senate, but none in the assembly.
 In the assembly, Minority Leader Irwin Steingut raised the objection the measure had to go to commit tee before it could be acted upon. Speaker Joseph A. McGinnies, re- publican whip of the lower house, promptly met this with the an-
 Douncement that if unanimous con- the resolution could not be obtained l.e would call two or three minute
 session of rules committee and
 bring 1t formally before the house. A notable group of republican state leaders were present when Knight pushed through the inves-
 t:gation resolution in the upper house. Included were leaders from
 Erie. Monroe, Onodaga and Albany. One of the first to be informed of the republican success was w. Xingsland Macy, republican state
 chairman, who has been the chief advocate of an investigation of New York city for two years.
 AHiBHL Calieu nlm Dy long OlS- tnnce telephone to notify him that
 the senate deadlock had been brok- en.
 The republican leaders are pre- pared to name the Investigating committee within few days. Knight. who is author of the new resolution, Is to be chairman unless lie gets an appointment to the fed- eral bench, for which State Chair
 man Macy Is backing him. In the
 event Knights does get the appoint
 ment, the chalrmanship is scheduled
 to go to Senator George R. Fearon,
 republican of Syracuse.
 Other members of the committee ere scheduled to include Senator
 Samuel M. Hofstadter. republican of New York, author of the resolu-
 tion that failed, Assemblyman Rob- ert K. Story of Brooklyn, perhaps Assemblyman Abbott Low Moffat of
 New York, and possibly republicans from Erie. Monroe and Nassau.
 The political complexion of the Investigating committee will be five republicans and two democrats.

Republicans to
 Handle Probing
1cohtinued from Page l,


 which Westchester republican oppo- sition had stalled the senate for weeks, wus scrapped and brand new proposal which bears the name of Senator John Knight, republican president pro tenn of the senate, was substituted.
 The Knight resolution, milder in many respects than the original di- rection requiring the investigators to delve into political organization pctiyities in New York, though it is broad enough to permit an inquiry into all departments of government in the metropolis.
 The language of the new resolu- ton is such as to stress constructive aspects cf the inquiry rather than prosecutions for wrong-doing.
 The action of the republican ma jority in uniting on such proposal vas hailed with widely divergent political views.
 Friends of Gov Roosevelt saw in the republican action an opportun- itv for the governor to do one of two things. He could either gain Iammany Halls friendship by rul- ing eventually that, since the legis- lature had ordered the investigation, there is no longer need for him to carry out an. investigation of the charges against Mayor Walker. or step in and Leat the republican in- vestigation by ordering one by a commissioner of his own choice.
 From sources close to the gov- ernor. word came today that he does not intend to be swayed one way or another by the action of the repub- lican majority in the legislature. This may mean that the governor will go into the charges against Mayor Walker through commits sioner of his own appointment.
 However, the more generally sup ported belief in administration cir cles Is that the governor. who has long insisted that any general inves- tigation of the New York city gov ernment snould be made by the leg islature. will content himself with permitting that branch of govern ment to go into the whole question of corruption in New York city.
 In this connection. 1t was pointed out the governor had Q conference Sunday night at Hyde Park with Judge Samuel Seabury. who has consented to be counsel to the leg islative Investigating committee. Any redit that may arise from the leg islative investigation can be partly claimed by Roosevelt on the ground that he approved an appropriation of $250.000 for the investigation be- fore the legislature authorized it.

In my opinion. and not one aft es- caped uninjured. Most of them were either killed or drowned. 8The rescue of Sargent and his two companions, who fioated in the icy seass for 40 hours aboard a piece of the Viking wreckage, was described by Nurse Berrigan, who was aboard the Sagona when the men were picked up.
 "At 5 D. m. on March 17 the Sa- gona was proceeding at full speed and was attracted by a violent wav- ing if flags" the nurse said. We slowed down and changed our men aboard part of the wrecked Viking, in the drift ice.
 "We lowered a dory and rowed to the endangered men. They were near the waters edge and would not have survived long If they had got into the open sea. Operator King appeared the worst injured but still was conscious. He had a compound fracture of the left leg. both feet were frozen and gangrcn- ous, and he had wound over the left eye.
 "The navigator. Capt Kennedy. was suffering from pneumonia," !" Nurse Berrigan said. "He had two large wounds in the skull. His con- dition was serious and he died on the way home.
 Sargent was less seriously injured than the others although his eyes were in bad shape from ice blind ness. He also had been affected by gas fumes. He had an injured arm but managed to keep his companions from falling off the wreckage."
 Nurse Berrigan said that Sargent rescued King when he slid into the water. Sargent pulled King back after he fell through the pitch ice" Berrigan said. They scrambled onto a makeshift raft, with pieces of food and clothing that Sargent gath cred together. They had matches and Sargent was able to start a fire.
 "Sargent's chief concern was for his pals, Frissell and Penrod. He did not know their fate and when he learned that they were missing, he broke down completely" the nurse concluded.

a possible successor to G. G. Tea

Farm Board in charge OF the fruit

a few days ago. It was learned from
authoritative sources Thursday.
Several prominent members of the
Texas delegation in Congress have
endorsed Mr.. Shary strongly.
When asked for a stateme-s to-

definite commitment regarding the
Farm Board place. saying that ne
feared that press OF business would

Mr.. Shary occupies a similar place
to that OF Mr.. league In that both
are the heads of leading citrus CO.
