Walker Hearing Delayed
AS Death Takes Brother
Decision Reached BY Executive
After Conversation With
Counsellor

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 29.-(R-Gov-
ernor Roosevelt announced Monday
the hearing of charges against Mayor
James J. Walker would be adjourned
until after the funeral of the mayor S
brother, George Walker, who died at
Saranac Lake Monday.
Because Of the death of the ma
yor's brother" the governor said, 1.-The
hearing. of course, will be postponed
until after the funeral"
The governor said he did not know
when the funeral was to be held.
The governors decision was reach
ed after he had conferred with John
j. Curtin, chief of Walkers counsel
by telephone. The governor was
notified of the death of George Walk
err Monday morning.
A second expected development In
the Walker case was postponed by a
matter OF hours when Supreme Court
Justice Ellis j. Staley said he would
not make public until Monday night
his decision on the application OF
Walker for an order to prevent the
governor from deciding on the custer
request.
The motion before Staley in effect
is al order requiring the governor to
show cause why he should not be pro-
hibited from giving a decision in the
case. Mayor Walker commended be-
fore the court that Roosevelt had no
power to hear the custer charges or
to remove mayor Of New York. The
governors answer. presented by De-
putty Attorney General Henry j. Ep-
stein, was two-fold. He denied first.
that the judiciary can legally inter-
fere In the executive functions of the
governor. and he claimed full power
to remove the mayor, If he felt the
charges warranted, under the New
York charter and the state consti-
tuition.
In view of the governors claim that
the courts have. no power to inter-
fere. observers at the hearing have
been wondering what the executive
planned to do If the decision Of the
court is that he has no power to sit
in judgment on the mayor.
Mayor Walkers attorney, John j.
Curtin, has limited several times at
further court action II the decision
was against the mayor.
While the defense has not said how
much longer would be required to
present its case, it was believed this
week might see the end of the hear
ing.
