GOV. ROOSEVELT
SPLITS OPENLY
WITH TAMMANY
Urges State Legislature to
Grant Immunity to
Probe Witnesses.

By United Prcss
ALBANY, N. Y. Aug. 25.-Gover-
nor Franklin D. Roosevelt today
urged the state legislature to speed
towards passage a law permitting
the Hofstadter committee now in
vestigating New York municipal af-
fairs to grant immunity to import
ant witnesses.
In his message calling into being
the special session Of the legislature,
the Governor said that other i'm
portant matters may be presented
for the legislators consideration,
but that lit is important that the
investigation be not delayed and
needless expense incurred"
In most quarters, Roosevelt's mes
sage was considered a definite break
with Tammany. Tammany officials
have backed solidly the refusal of
politicians to testify at hearings be-
fore the Hofstadter committee on
the grounds that the immunity Of
fered them would not hold good in
court of law.
The refusal of DR.. William F.
Doyle, former horse doctor, to tes-
tify in connection with split fees"
he obtained in his 100000 prac-
tice before the city zoning commits
sion brought the battle to climax,
after Doyle had been sentenced to
thirty days in Jail for contempt.
AS the legislature prepared to
convene, Senator John j. Dunnigan.
Democratic leader of the upper
house, announced that his party
would fight to the last ditch
against the immunity bill"
