 Legal authorities here disagree with the governor, expressing be- lief the charge makes extradition poBsible.
 ''It is true that you did not ac- tually charge me with any wrong- doing personally, but you made a studied effort to create the impress sion that I have been guilty If some terrible wrong," the governor said.
 Strategic Move of Gov. Davey's move came while the legislators were assembling for convention late today to consmider a resolution empowering the at. torrey general to investigate the Hopkins charges and call a state grand jury to consider possible criminal prosecutions in connev. ton with them.
 Assemblymcn foes of the goy- ernor had threatened an impeach. ! mei1t move against the former Kent tree surgeon if evidence sub stattiated Hopkins and implicated the govertior.
 Two weeks ago he asked Hop- kins to take over Ohio re- lief, charging 1t was inefficient and wasteful." Hopkins refused. Davey foes thereupon assailed him as seeking creation of a political organization through relief jobs. Hopkins charges last Saturday threw the situation into a turmoil of political warfare within the state. precipitating a fight without parallel in years and involving q governor who took office only 6O You have done me a grave and unfOrgivable wrong," -Davey's wire to Hopkins stated.
 Integrity Priceless "If you have any of the instincts of manhood you will permit this wrong to be righted. Please re- member that I am still in business and my reputation for integrity before the American people is priceless.''
 Davey said the "alleged, but un- named wrongdoing on the part of someone connected with the demo- cratic committee" took place be- fore his inauguration and that, des- pite this Hopkins "by inference" had connected Davey's name with 1t.
 Francis Poulson, state democrat tc chairman, previously had exon. erated Davey in the charges, stat- ing that funds had been solicited according to universal party prac- tice.
 T assume full responsibility and have no apologies to offer," PouI. son had said.
 Prosecution To Limit Davey's message to Hopkins de. manded prosecution to the limit of any evidence the federal official may have.
 If you have evidence of wrong doing against any one connected with the democratic committee or the Ohio relief set-up you will De guilty of inexcusable culpability if you fail to prosecute to the limit" he said.
 "Your action of Saturday does not change the situation one par ticle. The relief situation will con- tinue just as 1t has been in the past, with you and your agents dS oObc ulCtatcT5 OL releI.
 "So come to Ohio if you dare. and show that you are a man, vr turn and run like coward"
