Washington, May 13.—In concluding his cross-examination today Secretary Ualllnger took from his pocket a long resume, which h e secured permission to read and which he said would show the exis tence of a conspiracy to re­move him from public l ife.

Albany, May 13.—Instead of consid­ering three bills, embodying th-9 ques­tion of direct nominations in one form or another, as w a s done in the as*ern-bly Wednesday, the senate next Wed­nesday will vote on four distinct prop­ositions. Such a program was agreed upon by the senate yesterday when the Meade-Phillips organization bill, which passed the assembly Wednesday night was handed down.

Senator Davis , chairman of the Judi­ciary commit tee which reported the Hlnman-Greene, Cobb compromise and the Orady-Frisble bil ls "for the con­sideration of the senate ," sugges ted that the Philllpa bill go to general or­ders with tho other primary bills.

Majority Leader Cobb said that ' while he desired to have the Phill ips bill considered v i t h the other bills, ho believed It should first go to the Judi­ciary committee . Senator Hlnman al­so favored such a course, with the un­derstanding that the bill would be re­ported before next Wednesday. This plan was Anally agreed to.

The senate Judiciary committee yes­terday reported the Hlnman bill to limit the expenses of political candi­dates . It is a companion bill to the direct nominations bill and will be con­sidered with that measure .

Gov. Hughes decl ined to comment on the defeat of the Hlnman-Green bill In the assembly .

Lloyd C. Grlscom, chairman of the N e w York County Republican commit­tee was in Albany yesterday In the interest of N e w York city legislation. H e called on Gov. Hughes and con­ferred with Senator Cobb. It is under­stood he favors the enactment of the Cobb compromise bill.
