The Governor was unable to influence Evans and then Speaker Frisbie tried his hand without result, When the Assembly convened, however, a notice was read by the clerk announcing that the Internal Affairs Committee of the Senate and Assembly would hold a joint hearing on the Highway bill on Feb. 16. When this notice was handed down beth Evans and Republican Leader Merritt made a vigorous protest, Mer- ritt declared that an attempt was be- ing made to railroad the bill to provide fat contracts for Tammany contractors. This afternoon Evans called a meet- ing of his committee to frame a protest @gainst such action on the part of the Speaker. He disowns this notice and its origin {s surrounded with impene- trable mystery. The Speaker say’ “I never saw ft, ask Clerk McHenry.” Mr. McHenry “T know nothing about tt, Ask my as- sistant.” The assistant clerk says: “Speaker Frisble handed it to me."
