A majority reported that he did not have that right and his veto was of no effect. A member declared that he had the veto power in thiscase. This leaves the question very much tangled and complicated, the lottery people claiming that the bill has been pass- ed and is a law; its opponents, that the Governor's veto wipes it out. It is impossible to say what the | Legislature will doto-morrow. The question will inevitably go into the | courts for a long litigation.
