[From Our Special Correspondent.]'Albany, May 13.—The .situation at

the capital 'may well be termed a"fight to a finish" between GovernorHughes and the legislature. Accord-ing to some of the legislators, chafingrestlessly under the necessity of hav-ing had to return to Albany for anextra session, their position may bedescribed by a paraphrase of lines ina famous old Gilbert and Sullivanopera, "Down the hill and up again,just in time to be too late."

Some of the legislators who ve^edfor various of Governor Hughes' meas-ures and policies during the first ses-sion of the year have come "up thehill" to the big granite pile of the cap-itol building for no* similar purposethis time, if their own statements areto be believed. For instance, on thequestion of the antl race track bills,,BO less than seven assemblymen havestated theii intention to the writer ofreversing their previous votes and j?fvoting against the Agnew-Hart meas-ures when they again come up forfinal passage in the lower house. Justhow much further this sentiment hasspread it is difficult to estimate.What One Anti-Hughes Senator Says.

A Frequent Query,-Will'any one of the- eight BepublicaB

senators who voted against the Agnew-Hart bills change to the governor'sside? This qijestion is asked on allsides. Senator Owen. Cassidy of Wat-kins is perhaps watched with moreinterest than any other in view ,of theprinted accounts of the" alleged ehang-ing-of Congressman Fassett's telegram,sent from Washington. Senator Oas-sidy, following his usual policy, doesnot show any inclination to clarify thesituation as to how he will vote on an,other roll call. His silence on any

lice

ed against the bills analyzes the situa-tion as follows:

"In my opinion, based on careful ob-servation, the governor is weaker inboth houses on the race track questionthan before, because it has become evi-dent that most of the sentiment in

topic when.he deeides to maintain ii,is more silent than the silence of al*most any other member of the legisla-ture. Senator Cassidy made a- speechof an hour's length in the senate atthe early session on tbfe Agnew-Hartbills,: and when he concluded no onecould tell on*, whiehs side he stood.. Thegeneral, belief atx Albany, however, isthat Senator Cassidy will again voteagainsrt the bills.

The Thirty Day Bills.Indications are; that when the thirty

day period expires the governor willhave signed between 500 and 550 bills.Last year he signed about- 750, so it isreadily apparent that legislative ac-tivity has not been exerted so much to-ward "getting bills passed and signed aspossibly in other directions.

Of course it is not possible for anygovernor to be familiar with the de-tails of every bill he considers andsigns. He has too much work to al-

sembly the writer to have more

strength in his race track fight than* inhis .direct nominations campaign. Themany political leaders of varying de-grees of importance of both partiesthroughout the state would rather seethe race tracks go out of existencethan witness the political annihilationof themselves. And that is what direct'nominations largely mean.

The principal demand for direct nom-inations throughout the state comesfrom parts of Brooklyn, the west sideof New York city, Buffalo and tJtica.When the motion in the first sessionwas made to discharge the rules com-mittee, controlled .by Speaker Wads-worth, from consideration of the gov-ernor's bill, introduced by Assembly-man Green oft Brooklyn, only twenty-seven votes were recorded in favor of

low'him to look closely into any but*the measures of gre^t importance.The great xnass of legislation of sec-ondary importance is thoroughly in-vestigated "by the governor's legal ad-viser, Mr. Edward Sanford, and thegovernor signs such of these hills asMr. Sanford recommends.5 Governor1 Hughes follows the prac-tice of giving public hearings on anyimportant bills before him which are

-strongly opposed..
